What problem does it solve?
OpenHarness provides a production-grade framework for long-running, autonomous AI agents that operate without constant human input by enforcing mechanical constraints, structured memory, and external validation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Three-Layer Memory Architecture: compact L1 pointer index (heartbeat.md), on-demand L2 knowledge files, and an append-only L3 execution log.
- External Validation Loop: harness_eval.py ensures task completion is objectively verified.
- Entropy Control & Scheduling: built-in harness_cleanup.py, cron_config.md, and dream-mode consolidation for memory hygiene.
- Multi-Agent Coordination: file-system IPC for parallel task execution when workloads are divisible.
Quick Start
Describe your task idea and the agent will automatically initialize the workspace, fill all templates, set up cron scheduling, and begin execution.
