The system uses hooks to enforce rules, such as ensuring a button is blue, by checking the output against specified policies.", "body_md": "I genuinely think that autonomous code generation is the future. But today we are facing a problem: we cannot be confident enough in the result produced by an LLM. The problem is its way of working. Even with strong directive such as “make a button blue”, we cannot be sure that the button will be blue (maybe the context has contradictory informations). This POC is based on hooks and is validating that a deterministic generic harness is possible.\n\nFor example, you may distribute a skill saying that a button must be blue, with a policy that checks that the button is blue. Thanks to this, the system will apply the policy and check the button’s color.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49002376](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49002376)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-deterministic-governance-harness-for-agentic-development-loops", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/owulveryck/poc-agentic-platform", "published_at": "2026-07-22 05:55:18+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-22 06:22:57.702618+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-safety", "developer-tools", "generative-ai"], "entities": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-deterministic-governance-harness-for-agentic-development-loops", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-deterministic-governance-harness-for-agentic-development-loops.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-deterministic-governance-harness-for-agentic-development-loops.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-deterministic-governance-harness-for-agentic-development-loops.jsonld"}}
