Summary

  • Add LangChain "harness" terminology convergence to README and FAQ
  • Reference Terminal Bench 2.0 stat (Top 30 → Top 5 from harness changes alone)
  • Add new FAQ entry comparing harness-kit (config framework) vs deepagents (runtime)

Motivation

LangChain published "The Anatomy of an Agent Harness" (March 2026) and now ships deepagents — a product they explicitly call an agent harness. This is significant external validation of the "harness" category. The FAQ needed a comparison entry since deepagents is the most visible new entrant.

Changes

File Change
README.md Add industry validation paragraph after intro
FAQ.md Add LangChain context to "What is an AI harness?" answer
FAQ.md Add "How does harness-kit compare to LangChain's deepagents?" entry

Test plan

  • Verify README renders correctly on GitHub
  • Verify FAQ entry reads naturally in context

- Compress README paragraph to single sentence
- Fix blog URL (langchain.dev → langchain.com)
- Soften "industry-standard" to "gaining traction"
- Replace "harness runtime" with LangChain's own "agent harness framework"
- Move Terminal Bench stat to deepagents comparison (not definition)
- Qualify aspirational claim with "in principle"
