remove-demo-limits is an agent skill that strips Open Harness hosted managed-template trial restrictions from a self-hosted fork.

About

The remove-demo-limits skill guides maintainers through stripping Open Harness hosted demo restrictions from a fork with the smallest coherent code change. It targets managed-template trial session caps, message caps, hosted-only restriction errors, demo delete restrictions, and any auth callback blocking non-Vercel emails on hosted deployments. Required inspection covers apps/web/lib/managed-template-trial.ts, session and chat API routes, message deletion route, and their tests, plus searches for identifiers like isManagedTemplateTrialUser, MANAGED_TEMPLATE_TRIAL_, deploy-your-own, and hosted restriction strings. Changes delete or simplify guards blocking session creation, chat messages, or deletion for managed-template users, remove dead helper code, and update tests asserting hosted caps without adding feature flags or new dependencies. Verification runs bun run ci after edits, clearly separating pre-existing failures from restriction removals. Output reports which restrictions were removed, files changed, and verification results. Triggers include remove demo limits, remove trial limits, remove hosted restrictions, or open this up for my fork. Use whenever fork maintainers nee.

Remove the managed-template trial restrictions with the smallest coherent change.

Goal

Make the fork behave like a normal self-hosted deployment:

no trial session cap
no trial message cap
no hosted-only restriction errors
no hosted-demo delete restrictions
no dead helper code or stale tests

Inspect first

Read these files before editing:

apps/web/lib/managed-template-trial.ts
apps/web/app/api/sessions/route.ts
apps/web/app/api/chat/route.ts
apps/web/app/api/sessions/[sessionId]/chats/[chatId]/messages/[messageId]/route.ts
apps/web/app/api/sessions/route.test.ts
apps/web/app/api/chat/route.test.ts
apps/web/app/api/sessions/[sessionId]/chats/[chatId]/messages/[messageId]/route.test.ts

Then search for these identifiers and strings to catch older or newer variants:

isManagedTemplateTrialUser
MANAGED_TEMPLATE_TRIAL_
deploy-your-own
open-agents.dev
vercel.com
This hosted deployment includes
does not allow message deletion

Required changes

1. Remove the guards that block session creation, chat messages, or message deletion for managed-template users. 2. If the auth callback still blocks non-Vercel emails on hosted deployments, remove that restriction too. 3. Delete apps/web/lib/managed-template-trial.ts if it becomes unused; otherwise simplify it so no dead exports remain. 4. Remove or update tests that assert the hosted caps, delete restrictions, or hosted-only auth gating. 5. Do not add feature flags, env toggles, or new dependencies. Prefer deleting the restriction code outright. 6. Keep unrelated auth, session ownership, and sandbox behavior unchanged.
