AURA Harness - A runtime coat for agent loops — audit, policy, and compliance export.

Run your agent on your env with your tools, AURA proves what happened and stops what shouldn't, without owning your loop or your credentials.

Overview

AURA Harness wraps whatever runs your agent loop — a Python script, Skillware, LangGraph, or your own host. It does not replace the loop. It sits around it, records what happened, enforces your rules at tool boundaries, and exports a session you can ship to logs or compliance.


For	Teams that need provenance, policy, and repeatable pipelines around agents
Not	A model runtime, orchestrator, or skill framework
Pairs with	Skillware (tools), any LLM host, your existing loop

How it works

    Host[Host] --> Aura[AURA]
    Aura --> Audit[Audit Trail]

Your host runs the loop. AURA attaches — policy at egress, causal logging. On close, the audit trail becomes session export (JSONL, summary, audit report).

Architecture

Optional inputs feed the body; AURA wraps it; audit and export follow.

Quick start

Requires Python 3.10+.

Install from PyPI:

pip install aura-harness
# optional Skillware host extra:
pip install "aura-harness[skillware]"

Develop from source:

git clone https://github.com/ARPAHLS/aura.git
cd aura
py -3.13 -m venv .venv && .venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

from aura import agent, configure

configure()

ag = agent("acme/research-bot", policy_version="1")
with ag.session() as run:
    run.emit("turn.start", {"input": "hello"})
    run.emit("turn.end", {"tokens": 120})

print(run.exports)

CLI: aura agent create, aura run, aura export, aura report show, aura compare, aura export-otel, aura verify chain.

Notes

Experimental (alpha) — API may change between minor releases until 1.0.
Wrap, don't replace — your host owns the loop; AURA records and gates at boundaries you wire through emit() or SkillwareHost.
Security — loaded skills and scripts run in your process; see SECURITY.md.
