Harness bought Augment’s coding agents. The best feature hasn’t shipped yet.

The New Stack · 1 week ago · 38

Harness acquired Augment Code’s Cosmos software factory, including Auggie CLI and the Code Context Engine, and is folding it into its software delivery platform to add autonomous coding agents. The acquisition was announced on Thursday, and Harness says Cosmos is available today even though the key capabilities—using delivery-history failures and downstream feedback in integrated workflows—have not shipped yet. The integration will let agents draw on past deployment failures and security or test results to revise code with failure context, while human approvals and agent permissions are expected to be governed through Harness’s Agent Harness identity and policy controls.
