Category: AI · Tier: light · Maturity: proven (verified 2026-08-20 @ 1a130d67) · Risk: medium — governs the agent loop that drives external LLM providers
A conceptual audit lens (not a module) names which slice — loop, context, policy, or tools — owns each agent-harness primitive such as compaction, step caps, and approval gating.
When to use: Use when auditing whether an LLM-agent product has the harness primitives it needs and where each one is implemented.
