Hokage Spin-Off Readiness
Last updated: 2026-05-22
Conclusion
No public spin-off yet.
Claude Code Harness remains a Claude-first product. "Hokage" is currently the v4 Go-native runtime line, and Hokage Core extraction is underway as an internal architecture direction. Do not present Hokage Harness as a public cross-host product until the gates below pass.
Gate Scope
The Phase 73 support claim freeze covers these hosts:
| Host | Current tier | Public claim boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | supported | Claude-first product support is allowed. |
| Codex CLI | internal-compatible | Internal compatibility only until direct plugin install and companion smoke are verified together. |
| Codex app | candidate | Candidate only until app-specific handoff/runtime smoke passes. |
| OpenCode | internal-compatible | Internal compatibility only until runtime bootstrap smoke passes. |
| Cursor | candidate | Candidate only; existing PM handoff docs are not adapter support. |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | candidate | Candidate only; official CLI docs and Superpowers mapping are not Harness support proof. |
| Antigravity CLI | future/unsupported | Future/unsupported public claim until official/verified adapter route and local bootstrap smoke are observed. |
not_observed != absent: unavailable local runtime smoke stays unknown or not observed. It must not be promoted into support, and it must not be treated as proof that no route can exist.
Gate Status
| Adapter readiness | Result | Evidence | Public boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code adapter | PARTIAL | Claude-first plugin baseline remains the product surface | Does not prove cross-host spin-off readiness |
| Codex adapter | PASS | Codex CLI direct plugin smoke, package gate, and companion route are test-backed | internal-compatible, not Codex app parity |
| OpenCode adapter | PASS | OpenCode bootstrap plugin, setup docs, and static validation are test-backed | internal-compatible; runtime auto-routing proof is explicitly out of scope for this phase |
| Gate | Current result | Verification evidence | Remaining blocker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code support | SUPPORTED | Claude-first plugin baseline and existing validation path are the product surface | Do not imply this proves other hosts |
| Codex CLI internal compatibility | INTERNAL-COMPATIBLE | Existing Codex mirrors, setup path, companion review, and local CLI help evidence from docs/research/superpowers-cherrypick.md | Direct plugin install and companion smoke must pass together before public support wording |
| Codex app candidate | CANDIDATE | Codex app is listed separately from CLI in the Phase 73 research artifact | App-specific worktree/UI handoff smoke is missing |
| OpenCode internal compatibility | INTERNAL-COMPATIBLE | Existing OpenCode mirror/package validation path and official plugin/skills docs evidence | Runtime bootstrap and native skill smoke are missing |
| Cursor candidate | CANDIDATE | Current Cursor marketplace/rules evidence plus Superpowers reference shape | Harness-specific rules/plugin install, bootstrap, and workflow smoke are missing |
| GitHub Copilot CLI candidate | CANDIDATE | Official CLI plugin docs and Superpowers tool mapping reference | Local CLI availability plus Harness bootstrap/skill smoke are missing |
| Antigravity CLI future/unsupported | FUTURE/UNSUPPORTED | Official snippets were observed, but no extracted static docs, local install, or Harness adapter route was proven | Official/verified route and local bootstrap smoke are missing |
| Capability matrix | PASS | docs/tool-capability-matrix.md and bash tests/test-tool-capability-matrix.sh cover Phase 73 tiers and false parity | None for the 73.1.2 contract freeze |
| Bootstrap routing | PASS | docs/bootstrap-routing-contract.md and bash tests/test-bootstrap-routing-contract.sh define static golden prompt routing and unsupported-host behavior | Runtime auto-routing proof is explicitly out of scope for this phase |
| Release preflight | PASS | bash scripts/release-preflight.sh includes adapter gates when adapter paths changed, release claims adapter support, or --check-adapters is used | CI run evidence still requires pushing the branch before a release tag |
| Positioning | PASS | README / README_ja use conservative extraction wording | Keep this wording until the other gates pass |
Last Verification Snapshot
Historical Phase 70 local verification retained as context. This table does not promote Codex CLI or OpenCode beyond internal-compatible, and it does not cover Codex app, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, or Antigravity CLI runtime smoke.
| Command | Result |
|---|---|
./tests/validate-plugin.sh | PASS |
bash tests/test-codex-package.sh | PASS |
node scripts/build-opencode.js | PASS |
node scripts/validate-opencode.js | PASS |
bash scripts/sync-skill-mirrors.sh --check | PASS |
bash tests/test-tool-capability-matrix.sh | PASS |
bash tests/test-bootstrap-routing-contract.sh | PASS |
bash scripts/release-preflight.sh | PASS locally with non-blocking warnings for env/health/CI availability and existing residual-scan candidates |
Candidate And Unsupported Host Reasons
| Host | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Codex app | Candidate | Codex CLI help and setup path do not prove app behavior. |
| Cursor | Candidate | Existing 2-agent handoff docs are not a full adapter: no verified bootstrap route, capability matrix, release gate, or runtime safety parity. |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | Candidate | No local CLI smoke, Harness-specific bootstrap proof, or release-preflight integration exists in this phase. |
| Antigravity CLI | Future/unsupported for public claim | No official or verified Harness adapter route, local install availability proof, or bootstrap smoke exists in this phase. |
Next Adapter Candidates
| Candidate | Why it is next | Required proof before support claim |
|---|---|---|
| OpenCode | It now has skills-primary setup, mirror generation, validation, and stale command/MCP cleanup | Add runtime bootstrap proof or keep support wording limited to packaging/static contract validation |
| Codex CLI | It already has native skill surfaces, package tests, documented bootstrap routing, and local plugin command evidence | Direct plugin install and companion smoke must pass together |
| Codex app | It may share some Codex concepts but has separate app behavior | App-specific worktree/UI handoff smoke |
| Cursor | It has existing 2-agent workflow docs, but not adapter parity | Define whether it is a handoff integration or a real adapter before adding any support claim |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | Official plugin docs describe skills/commands/hooks/MCP fields | Local CLI availability and Harness bootstrap/skill smoke |
| Antigravity CLI | Official snippets suggest plugin/skill/hook concepts | Extractable official docs or verified route plus local bootstrap smoke |

Describe Hokage as a public cross-host product before these gates pass.Exit Criteria
The No public spin-off yet conclusion can change only when all of the following are true:
- Claude Code remains supported and every public non-Claude support claim has host-specific install/update, bootstrap, workflow smoke, and release gate evidence.
- Capability differences are documented and test-backed.
- Bootstrap routing has golden prompt coverage or explicit unsupported results.
- Release preflight blocks only adapters claimed by that release.
- README / README_ja can state support without implying safety parity that the host cannot provide.
