Awesome list for AI agent harness engineering: tools, patterns, evals, memory, MCP, permissions, observability, and orchestration.

My personal directory of skills.

Nexent is a zero-code platform for auto-generating production-grade AI agents using Harness Engineering principles — unified tools, skills, memory, and orchestration with built-in constraints, feedback loops, and control planes.

Portable Agent Skill for repository-native Spec programming, informed by public DeepSeek Harness engineering patterns.

📚 Two books on harness engineering — the design philosophies behind Claude Code & Codex: constraints, query loops, context governance, multi-agent verification. harness-books.agentway.dev

Harness engineering applied to knowledge production: a self-evolving multi-agent newsroom that turns your documents into a cross-linked markdown wiki. A "reground" loop pulls published pages back in before they go stale — writer ≠ reviewer, local-first, a structured alternative to RAG.

A meta-skill that designs domain-specific agent teams, defines specialized agents, and generates the skills they use.

Comet: agent skill harness for turning ideas into evaluated workflows

DeepBot is a system-level AI assistant built for both personal productivity and enterprise workflows — one-click setup, seamless experience, and native Feishu integration.

Self-hosted agent OS with skills, workflows, MCP, and second brain storage.

Open-source desktop AI agent that gets work done — plans & self-corrects, agentic visual workflows, generative UI, and 100+ offline tools in one self-hostable stack.

A human-governed AI coding workflow that distills ephemeral session context into persistent project memory—making work traceable, reviewable, and resumable.

A Git-native knowledge layer for your team — and a set of tool suite that keeps it alive.

Turn any repo into an agent-ready workspace for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other coding agents.

Your Personal AI Assistant; easy to install, deploy on your own machine or on the cloud; supports multiple chat apps with easily extensible capabilities.

Local-first coordination for human and agent work: durable work, decisions, dispatches, evidence, and prompt-first methods, powered by TypeScript and Bun.

Spec-driven development and context engineering for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot — backed by project context in Git.

MCP Toolkit for Flutter AI Agent Driven Development (MCP/CLI + custom client side tools) - via closed feedback loop (visual & semantic snapshot) and high client side customization adaptable for any Flutter app. Nowadays it is often called as agentic harness.

Adam Framework for OpenClaw — 5-layer persistent memory and identity architecture for AI agents. Production-validated over 353+ sessions. First documented case of emergent values in persistent AI, quantum-verified on IBM hardware.

Server-enforced workflow discipline for AI agents. An MCP server providing persistent work items, dependency graphs, quality gates, and actor attribution. Schemas define what agents must produce — the server blocks the call if they don't. Works with any MCP-compatible client.
