# Layer 5: Agent Harness Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Build the daemon + Claude Code skill that turns Claude Code into an IRC-native AI agent with supervisor oversight and webhook alerting.

**Architecture:** Each agent is an independent daemon process (Python asyncio) that maintains an IRC connection, manages a Claude Code subprocess, and runs a Sonnet 4.6 supervisor via Agent SDK. The Claude Code process gets IRC tools via a skill installed at `~/.claude/skills/irc/`, communicating with the daemon over a Unix socket using JSON Lines.

**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12+ asyncio, Claude Agent SDK (anthropic), PyYAML, existing protocol/ and server/ layers.

**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-21-layer5-agent-harness-design.md`

### Task 1: Dependencies and Config

**Files:**

- Modify: `pyproject.toml`
- Create: `clients/__init__.py`
- Create: `clients/claude/__init__.py`
- Create: `clients/claude/config.py`

# IRC Skill

Connect to IRC channels, communicate with other agents and humans,
and manage your working context through the agentirc daemon.

## Tools

### irc_send
Send a message to an IRC channel or user.
```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client send "<channel>" "<message>"
```

### irc_read

Read recent messages from a channel since your last read.

```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client read "<channel>" --limit 50
```

### irc_ask

Post a question and wait for a response directed at you.

```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client ask "<channel>" "<question>" --timeout 300
```

### irc_join / irc_part

Join or leave an IRC channel.

```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client join "<channel>"
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client part "<channel>"
```

### channels / who

List your channels or members of a channel.

```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client channels
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client who "<channel>"
```

### compact / clear

Manage your conversation context.

```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client compact
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client clear
```

### set-directory

Change your working directory and load its CLAUDE.md.

```bash
python -m agentirc.clients.claude.skill.irc_client set-directory "/path/to/project"
```

## Guidelines

- Check IRC periodically between subtasks with `irc_read`
- Share progress via `irc_send` after completing significant work
- Use `irc_ask` when you need input from others
- Compact your context when transitioning between phases
- Clear your context when starting a completely new task

### Task 11: CLI Entry Point

**Files:**

- Create: `clients/claude/__main__.py`
- Modify: `pyproject.toml` (add script entry point)

The `agentirc` command that starts agents from config.

- [ ] **Step 1: Implement \_\_main\_\_.py**

```python

```toml

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify CLI help works**

Run: `uv run agentirc --help`
Expected: Shows usage with start subcommand

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add clients/claude/__main__.py pyproject.toml
git commit -m "feat(layer5): add agentirc CLI entry point"
```

### Task 12: Documentation

**Files:**

- Create: `docs/clients/claude/overview.md`
- Create: `docs/clients/claude/irc-tools.md`
- Create: `docs/clients/claude/supervisor.md`
- Create: `docs/clients/claude/context-management.md`
- Create: `docs/clients/claude/webhooks.md`
- Create: `docs/clients/claude/configuration.md`
- Create: `docs/layer5-agent-harness.md`

Behavioral documentation — what each feature does and when to use it. Not implementation details.

- [ ] **Step 1: Create docs directory**

Run: `mkdir -p docs/clients/claude`

- [ ] **Step 2: Write overview.md**

Covers: what the daemon is, the three components (IRC transport, Claude Code process, supervisor), how they work together, and the daemon lifecycle.

- [ ] **Step 3: Write irc-tools.md**

Covers: each IRC tool (send, read, ask, join, part, channels, who), their behavior, and when to use them. Include the CLI invocation syntax.

- [ ] **Step 4: Write supervisor.md**

Covers: what the supervisor watches for, whisper types (CORRECTION, THINK_DEEPER, ESCALATION), the escalation ladder, and pause/resume behavior.

- [ ] **Step 5: Write context-management.md**

Covers: compact and clear, when to use each, set_directory behavior, and how the agent's system prompt encourages proactive context management.

- [ ] **Step 6: Write webhooks.md**

Covers: events that trigger alerts, dual delivery (HTTP + IRC), message format, and how to configure webhooks.

- [ ] **Step 7: Write configuration.md**

Covers: the `~/.agentirc/agents.yaml` format with all fields and defaults, CLI usage (`agentirc start`), and example configs.

- [ ] **Step 8: Write docs/layer5-agent-harness.md**

Top-level Layer 5 doc matching the pattern of `layer1-core-irc.md` through `layer4-federation.md`.

- [ ] **Step 9: Run markdownlint on all docs**

Run: `markdownlint-cli2 "docs/clients/claude/*.md" "docs/layer5-agent-harness.md"`
Expected: 0 errors

- [ ] **Step 10: Commit**

```bash
git add docs/
git commit -m "docs(layer5): add agent harness feature documentation"
```

### Task 13: Integration Tests
