harness-model-protocol

Analyze the protocol layer between agent harness and LLM model. Use when (1) understanding message wire formats and API contracts, (2) examining tool call encoding/decoding mechanisms, (3) evaluating streaming protocols and partial response handling, (4) identifying agentic chat primitives (system prompts, scratchpads, interrupts), (5) comparing multi-provider abstraction strategies, or (6) understanding how frameworks translate between native LLM APIs and internal representations.
