Custom AI coding harness · Live in 1–2 weeks

Ship more than once a week.

Moored is a coding agent tuned to your codebase — your conventions, your CI, your internal libraries. We install it, your team uses it from day one.

01The gap

Your competitors ship several times a week.
You ship once a month.
The tools you have don’t close that gap.

Generic assistants are tuned to everyone’s code. Yours is not everyone’s code.

“If you’re not the model — you are the harness.”

01 · option

Cursor & Copilot

Great for the cursor in front of you. Doesn’t know your repo, your style, your CI — and cannot run tasks in parallel for the team.

02 · option

Claude Code

Capable general-purpose agent. Still a generic harness: no pre-indexed codebase, no team workflows, no onboarding, no one accountable.

03 · option

Hire a harness team

What top companies do. Two senior engineers. Two years. A six-figure detour before anyone ships a single PR through it.

What is Moored

A harness installed under your codebase — not bolted on top.

Your team delegates. Moored commits. Your codebase gets the same agent leverage top AI labs build for themselves.

03The harness

The model is a swappable part. The agent is the product.

The industry keeps chasing bigger models. What actually moves the needle is the scaffold around them — whether it reads your repo before editing, respects your conventions, refuses to rewrite a file wholesale, keeps itself from spiraling into endless reasoning.

Swap a 100B cloud model for a 9B local one under the right scaffold — the small one wins.

Moored is that scaffold, fitted to your codebase, your rules, your perimeter.

01
Context
Your repo, indexed. Conventions, owners, CI — not just the file on screen.
02
Tools
The same ones your engineers use. No toy sandbox.
03
Memory
Survives across sessions. Resets when it should. No goldfish.

Types, schemas, pre-commit. Catches wrong turns before action.

06
Governance
Audit trail, quotas, PII filters, scoped access — not an afterthought.
The model is commodity. The harness is not.

Without this, agents lie. Quietly.

1
Intro call
45 minutes. We look at your repo, your stack, your workflow. You decide if it’s worth continuing.
2
We install it
We index your monorepo, wire up CI, teach it your conventions. On-prem or in your VPC.
Shift feedback left — lint in IDE, not in CI.

Team onboarding
One session per team. We ship their first real PR together, hands on the keyboard.
4
We keep it current
Your codebase moves. So does Moored. We maintain the index, the guardrails, the models.
05Security & trust

Enterprise-ready by default.

Designed for the security review your largest customer will run on you. No data leaves your perimeter unless you want it to.

A note from the team
Hi builder,

The gap between teams that ship weekly and teams that ship monthly is widening. Fast. Not because one side works harder — the leading teams built internal agents two years ago, and those agents compound every week since.

You don’t have two years. You don’t have five senior engineers to pull off the roadmap and park them on a harness for twenty-four months. We know — we spent those two years doing exactly that.

We’ve read the Anthropic harness writeups, the Stripe Minions post, the OpenAI misalignment report — and lived inside one of these builds ourselves. Moored is that knowledge, packaged, installed under your stack in two weeks, not two years.

If that resonates, let’s talk. One call, 45 minutes. If it isn’t the right fit, we’ll say so on the call.

Model is commodity. The harness is the product.
Yours in shipping,
The Moored team
