Outline
Jump quickly between sections.
An agent is a model-tool calling loop; the harness comprises all components connecting the model to the real world—skills, memory, system prompt, tools, sub-agents, and context.
Deep Agents is a customizable harness built for complex real-world tasks, featuring execution environment, context management, delegation, and human-in-the-loop support.
The execution environment starts with a filesystem and optionally integrates a sandbox or lightweight code interpreter for secure code execution and state management.
Context management provides out-of-the-box short/long-term memory, summarization, context offloading, and prompt caching to prevent overflow in extended runs.
Deep Agents supports task decomposition via sub-agents and includes first-class human-in-the-loop integration for sensitive workflows.

Highlights
Key sentences worth saving and sharing.
The harness is everything that connects the model to the real world — skills, memory, system prompt, tools, sub-agents, and additional context.
Agents are excellent at using file systems: they’re trained in an environment to use file systems and on lots of code, making sandbox/code interpreter highly powerful.
Context management includes out-of-the-box short- and long-term memory, summarization, context offloading, and prompt caching to avoid overflow in long runs.
