// PRODUCTION GRADE

Unified Runtime for Agentic Engineering

Coding agents write the code. Harper runs it. Database, cache, API, and messaging are built into a single runtime, so agents build and deploy production-grade applications without ever touching your infrastructure credentials or data.

// WHY HARPER

Don’t just prototype. Build production software.

What they build locally is what you deploy. Agents generate code in seconds, but getting it to production usually means wiring up databases, caching layers, API gateways, and CI/CD pipelines — and handing agents the credentials to access all of them. Harper eliminates that gap. The entire stack is in the code, contained in a single runtime. No credentials to hand over, no services to wire up, no infrastructure to provision.

copy the below prompt
Scaffold this project with npm create harper@latest

Build everything with Harper. Check out the /skills files to learn more.

As the project progresses, write updates and key decisions to a context file so it stays current.

When done coding please deploy to Harper Fabric.

Copy & Paste | Start with a Prompt

Pick your coding agent. Copy the prompt. Describe what you want to build. One command gives your agent a full stack, database, API, cache, real-time messaging, and more, defined entirely in code. Your agent handles the rest.

Built Different

For most stacks, infrastructure lives outside the code. Agents can't reach it without credentials, and enterprises can't hand those over safely. On Harper, the entire application surface is declarative and in-repo. Agents modify schema files to create tables, GraphQL definitions to extend APIs, and resource files to add business logic, then deploy to Fabric. No infrastructure access required.

What Makes This Possible?
Declarative files give agents full control of what the application does without any access to where it runs.

OPEN ALPHA
Where skills teach external agents about Harper, Harper Agent is built to think in it. It scaffolds and codes entire projects contextually, generating structurally sound applications grounded in Harper's architecture from the first command.

Bring your own model API key to use this CLI-based tool. Harper Agent supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and local models via Ollama.
