Agent Scaffolding Vs Agent Harness?
6.5BRAINROT SCOREAGENT SCAFFOLDING— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Agent Scaffolding The tooling layer built around a base LLM to make it act as an agent — its tool definitions, prompt structure, memory handling, and control loop — assembled before the agent ever runs, as distinct from the model itself or the runtime that executes it.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"The model didn't change at all — we just rewrote the scaffolding and it stopped hallucinating tool calls."
AGENT HARNESS— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Agent Harness The concrete software wrapper — tool definitions, permission scopes, retry and logging logic — that surrounds an AI agent and mediates every action it takes, the physical output of harness engineering.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"Built one solid agent harness, now every new agent just plugs into it."
