Harness Ops
Portable operating doctrine for recovering intent, respecting authority, proving the real claim, improving the owning harness, and stopping.

Natural intent in.
Durable software outcomes out.
DarkExec is an accountable executive for software factories. Give it the rough request you would give a trusted technical leader; it creates visible native work, follows it through proof and closeout, and leaves an inspectable receipt.
Three sentences should be enough to begin serious work.
- Right owner
- Real outcome
- Proof that matches the claim
01 / THE SYSTEM
Diligence around the code.
The models got better. The work around the work did not become automatic. DarkExec supplies a small, inspectable operating layer instead of maximizing agent activity.
02
DarkExec
The executive runtime. It preserves the natural request, creates exact App-visible work, completes same-task closeout, and records identity and usage.

Agentd
A durable background runner: stable event identity, one DarkExec dispatch, private receipts, bounded recovery, and systemd integration.
Run a background agent ↗02 / THE FLOW
Calm by design.
- 01Speak naturally
Provide intent, taste, urgency, and constraints—not an orchestration contract.
- 02Route to the owner
One exact saved project receives the request as its first real turn.
- 03Work through proof
The native task remains visible while execution, verification, and closeout happen.
- 04Read the receipt
Outcome, task identities, proof state, usage, and remaining uncertainty stay inspectable.
03 / START HERE
A real alpha,
not a waitlist.
DarkExec is an early self-hosted Linux prototype for experienced Codex App operators. There is no hosted service, account system, pricing, or signup flow.
Start with the runtime. Add Agentd when a repeated or scheduled task has earned a durable background owner.
