Your Agent Isn't Autonomous — You Are Its Loop: The 7 Levels From Babysitting to Fleet Management
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-10-29
@m4lkxx published a long-form article, Harness, Loops, Graphs: What Each Layer Fixes and What It Breaks, arguing that almost every 'autonomous' agent setup is actually a person in the loop: the agent writes, you read; it says 'done', you check; it breaks something, you explain what broke. The piece breaks down usage patterns into 7 levels, from babysitting agents to running a fleet, and analyzes what the harness, loop, and graph layers each fix — and what they break — in the quest to remove the human as the only component capable of verification.
