What is Gear?

Gear (General Evolution Architecture) is open-source RSI infrastructure for AI agents. Use Gear to refine agent harnesses — the scaffolding around an agent — so its tools, prompts and workflows improve over time instead of staying static.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Gear does well

  • Focused specifically on improving agent harnesses
  • Open source and self-hostable
  • Useful for teams iterating on agent quality over time

Cons: where it falls short

  • Advanced, experimental infrastructure
  • Requires comfort with agent development

Who Gear is for

Developers building agent systems who want a structured way to refine harnesses.

Who can skip it

People who use finished AI products without building agents.
