Chapter 1 · Agent Fundamentals
Starting from the new paradigm of "Model as Agent," establishes the core formula Agent = LLM + Context + Tools, and introduces Harness engineering—all engineering capabilities beyond the model are the true competitive advantage.

How to Read the Experiments
The prose uses short mechanism skeletons to explain control flow; the experiment directory contains complete SDK adapters, logs, tests, and acceptance evidence. You do not need to read every file line by line.
- Starter: Start with the goal, minimum command, and acceptance conditions; begin with context;
- Builder: Follow the entry point, core loop, state/message schema, tools, and verifier.
- Maintainer: Then read tests, evidence manifests, failure handling, rollback paths, and provider adapters.
On a first pass, skip credential loading, presentation code, and provider-compatibility layers; return when reproducing a number.
Companion Projects
| Exp. | Project | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | context | ✅ | Demonstrates the importance of various Agent context components through systematic ablation experiments. Supports direct Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Qwen plus SiliconFlow Qwen, ByteDance Doubao, Moonshot Kimi, and other providers. |
| 1-2 | web-search-agent | ✅ | Implements an Agent with basic deep search capabilities, capable of multi-round searching and information integration. |
| 1-3 | search-codegen | ✅ | Builds an Agent with basic deep search and code sandbox capabilities, utilizing tools like web search and code execution for complex analysis. |
| 7-1, 7-2 | learning-from-experience | ✅ | Compares traditional reinforcement learning (Q-learning) with LLM-based in-context learning, reproducing key insights from Shunyu Yao's "The Second Half" blog post. Demonstrates how LLMs can surpass traditional RL with 250-400x sample efficiency through a treasure hunt game. |
