agent-harness
v1.0.0Turn any domain folder of skills into a bounded agentic loop: a manifest builder inventories a domain's skills/tools/checks, a goal compiler turns a goal into a verifiable task plan (refusing vague goals with forcing questions), and a JSON-backed loop controller drives execute->verify->close with retry caps, controller-run verification (no verification theater), human escalation on exhausted budgets, and a close gate that refuses while any task is unverified. Ships 3 stdlib Python tools, 18 committed per-domain harness manifests + JSON schema, 3 references citing the 2024-2026 agent-harness canon, harness-runner agent + /cs:harness command. Use when an agent should pick up a goal and drive it to a verified close across a domain.

Included Skills1
Turn any domain folder of skills into a bounded agentic loop: compile a goal into a verifiable task plan, execute tasks with the domain's own tools, verify every task with machine-run checks, retry with caps, escalate to a human when budgets exhaust, and refuse to close until everything is verified or explicitly waived. Use when you want an agent or subagent to pick up a goal and drive it to a verified close across one of this repo's 18 domains ('run this goal through the engineering harness', 'set up an agentic loop for marketing work', 'make the finance domain self-verifying'). NOT for authoring Claude Code Workflow-tool .js scripts (workflow-builder), N-agent tournaments on one task (agenthub), single-file metric optimization (autoresearch-agent), or discovering published loop recipes (loop-library).
