What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the core challenges in AI agent development by improving how agents interact with tools, handle errors, and manage their context, leading to higher task completion rates.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Action Space Design: Guides the creation of stable, explicit tool names and schema-first inputs.
• Observation Formatting: Ensures tool responses include status, summary, next actions, and artifacts.
• Error Recovery: Defines a contract for handling errors with root cause hints and retry instructions.
• Context Budgeting: Provides strategies for efficient context management by preferring references over inlining.
• Use Case: When designing a new agent that needs to interact with multiple APIs, use this skill to ensure the tool definitions are robust and the agent can gracefully handle API errors.

Quick Start

Use the agent-harness-construction skill to design stable tool names and schema-first inputs for a new agent.
