# Agent harness integration
The copied harness at `vendor/agent-harness` is the cognitive core. It is kept
as a repository copy so releases are reproducible and do not depend on the
machine at `~/dev/agent-harness` after checkout. The original source remains
the upstream reference described in [agent-harness-map](agent-harness-map.md).

## Harness responsibilities
- Multi-turn session state and compaction.
- Planner/tool-call loop and permission mode.
- Short- and long-term local memory.
- Tool schema validation and execution events.
- Streaming model messages adapted into daemon events.
## Jarvis responsibilities
Jarvis registers domain tools from `skills/`, supplies the system prompt, maps
tool permissions to confirmation gates, and translates harness events into the
D-Bus protocol. Computer-use tools are custom harness tools backed by
`computer-use/`; the computer-use layer never owns planning.
## Adding a tool
1. Put the implementation in the appropriate skill module. Public web search
and page fetch already live in
`vendor/agent-harness/agent/web-search.js` (`web_search`, `google_search`,
`fetch_page`, `web_fetch`, `wiki_search`, `hn_search`, `code_search`).
2. Export a JSON-schema tool with a stable name, description, timeout, and
permission level.
3. Route QVAC work through the master facade.
4. Add a focused fixture test with a fake master or backend.
5. Update [API](api.md), the capability matrix, and the roadmap if the tool is
user-visible.
Destructive tools require explicit confirmation. Computer-use tools additionally
require an active grant, visible CU chrome / target highlight, a live step
budget, and a lock-screen check.
