Headlong Introduces Open Source Microharness for Persistent Agents
AlexGDimakis · x · 2026-08-25
Headlong is an open source microharness for persistent agents that think continuously in a self-guided loop. Unlike reactive agents that freeze after completing a task, Headlong agents remain active, generating thoughts inspired by human inner monologue. User messages serve as observations in the agent's thought stream, with the agent deciding if and when to reply.
