Coding Agents
Coding agents are AI Agents that use language models and tools to perform software-engineering tasks, such as investigating issues, editing code and running tests. A Coding Harness supplies their control loop, action interface and context-management policy.
Examples include SWE-agent and OpenHands.
See An Empirical Study of Harness Design for Coding Agents, sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the paper.
