# agent-harness

The single shared runtime for unattended agent instances in the Coulomb /
Operational Knowledge ecosystem. Projects declare agents (manifest +
`.kaizen/` state); this harness runs them — blueprint via kaizen-agentic,
tasks via activity-core, compute via llm-connect, credentials via
OpenBao/ops-warden, reporting to the Custodian State Hub.

- Decision + architecture: [docs/adr/ADR-001](docs/adr/ADR-001-agent-harness-architecture.md),

- Current work: [workplans/](workplans/)

## Usage (prototype)

```
agent-harness run --task-file examples/task-hello-sandbox.json [--no-hub]
agent-harness mail-scan --target-repo ~/binky-control
```

Runs exactly one task per invocation: persona bundle
(`kaizen-agentic schedule prepare`) → bounded agentic session
(cwd-pinned, hard tool allow-list, never pushes) → commit verification →
State Hub progress event + task close.
