Why it matters
This project offers a Go-native solution for building LLM-powered programming assistants, providing developers with a flexible framework for integrating advanced AI capabilities into their applications. Its focus on WebSocket, tool calling, and permission control addresses key requirements for interactive and secure AI agents.

HarnessClaw Engine is an LLM programming assistant engine developed in Go. It leverages the WebSocket protocol (v1.4) to facilitate multi-turn dialogues and supports a comprehensive tool-calling mechanism. Key features include a 5-phase query loop for preprocessing, LLM streaming calls, error recovery, parallel/serial tool execution, and continuation checks. The engine also incorporates a 6-step permission pipeline with various modes, a skill system that loads from `SKILL.md` files, and multi-provider support for LLMs like Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, and Vertex. Additionally, it includes context compaction for managing token usage and thread-safe session management. The project recently released its v0.0.18 update.
