agent-harness

Turn 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 or unwaived. Ships 3 stdlib Python tools, 18 committed per-domain harness manifests + JSON schema, 3 references citing the 2024-2026 agent-harness canon (Anthropic long-running harnesses, verifier's law, SWE-agent, Ralph loop, Cognition), harness-runner agent + /cs:harness command. Use when an agent or subagent should pick up a goal, define its tasks, complete and verify them, and close the loop.
