Exploring the infrastructure behind modern agentic systems.
Harness is an experimental agent runtime I’m building to understand how modern AI systems manage:
- persistent conversations
- context lifecycles
- memory orchestration
- session continuity
- execution flow around LLMs
After heavily using tools like Cursor, I became more interested in the orchestration layer around the model itself rather than the model alone.
The more I explored, the more I realized modern agentic systems are fundamentally runtime and state management problems.
This project is my attempt to explore those systems from first principles.
- Persistent conversations
- Session management
- Context compaction
- Memory retrieval
- Tool execution
- Runtime orchestration
