Initial commit: coding harness feedback analysis

Harnesses under analysis:
- opencode (Go-based coding agent)
- pi (minimal terminal coding harness by Mario Zechner)
- hermes (Nous Research agent)
- forgecode (AI pair programmer with sub-agents)

Each harness folder contains:
- repo/: Source code from respective repositories
- feedback/localllm/: Community feedback for local/smaller models
- feedback/frontier/: Community feedback for frontier models

Research focus: Tool handling, skills systems, prompt engineering,
context management, and best practices for smaller/local models.

+
+### Exhaustive Search Performed
+- Web search across multiple query angles
+- GitHub issue extraction
+- Documentation review
+- Blog post analysis
+- Community forum monitoring
+
+### Sources Checked
+- GitHub (antinomyhq/forgecode)
+- Reddit (r/forgecode, r/ClaudeCode, r/cursor, r/LocalLLaMA)
+- DEV Community

+- Independent benchmark sites
+- Academic papers
+
+### Limitations
+- Reddit verification challenges prevented some thread extraction
+- Discord content not directly accessible (requires login)
+- Some GitHub issues require authentication for full details

+
+## Contribution Guidelines
+
+When adding new feedback:
+
+1. **Follow the format:**
+   - Model/Topic header
+   - Source references with URLs
+   - What worked / What didn't
+   - Specific issues encountered
+
+2. **Include dates:** When was the feedback collected?
+
+3. **Categorize correctly:**
+   - `frontier/` for closed-weight models (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
+   - `localllm/` for open-weight models (Qwen, Llama, Mistral, etc.)
+
+4. **Update README.md:** If adding major new categories
