thu-nmrc / OpenHarness
Reliability harness for long-running OpenClaw agents: persistent state, strict task contracts, scheduled execution, and external validation.
Why this job: topics: agent-framework, autonomous-agents, llm-agents, ai-agents

What it does
- One-Sentence Start. Users only need to describe their task ideas, and the framework automatically completes working directory initialization, contract writing, scheduling configuration, and the first execution.
- Cross-Session Memory. Solves the problem of long-term amnesia through heartbeat.md. No matter how many times it is interrupted, it can resume from the exact breakpoint.
- External Validation Loop. Strict eval_criteria.md and harness_eval.py prevent the AI from self-certifying completion, ensuring output quality.
- Entropy Control & Sandbox. Built-in harness_cleanup.py periodically cleans up redundant logs to prevent context bloat and keep the runtime environment pure.
- Machine-Verifiable Contract. Translates user requirements into a clear mission.md to constrain the AI's behavioral boundaries.
