Microck's AI Stack

A public record of the models, harnesses, tools, skills, hooks, and workspace used in Microck's AI operator stack.

Models

Primary
GPT 6.1 Sol

Primary Codex model for implementation, debugging, review, and repository-level reasoning.

Best code output and amazing tool calling. It does exactly what I tell it to, no more and no less. The only real downside is frontend work, but with good prompting and actual human taste it can still produce good results.

Opus 5.5

Primary model for reasoning and comparison runs.

Secondary
GPT 6 Luna

Hermes default model for general-purpose agent work.

Fable 5.1

Primary model for implementation and reasoning.

Harnesses

Primary
Codex CLI

Primary terminal harness for code edits, tool execution, browser checks, and sub-agent orchestration.

After using OpenCode exclusively for months and spending too much time tweaking it or fixing issues, Codex CLI is a breath of fresh air. It does everything I need cleanly, and I genuinely have no complaints. I hope OpenAI models stay SOTA so I can keep using it forever, and I hope they do not enshittify it. If I did not main GPT models, I would probably switch to Pi or T3 Code as a GUI, since the few times I have used them they have been pretty neat too.

OMP

Primary terminal harness for using other models.

Claude Code

Primary terminal harness for using Anthropic models.

Secondary
Hermes Agent

Secondary AI assistant for persistent terminal sessions, alternate model judgment, parallel operator loops, and web search via Parallel.

I use this through Discord as my personal AI assistant. Hermes fans love to say it is miles better than OpenClaw, but honestly it is not; it is as rough as most other AI assistants. It has given me a ton of headaches and breaks with almost every update because they keep adding sloppy PRs.
