kdeps-harness-model-refusal-record
v1.0.0kdeps harness: model-refusal-record
set harness / shelf harness
PurposeThe text kdeps sends the model in agent mode: the sections of the system prompt, and the prompts behind compaction, goals, judges, prompt refinement and nudges.
LLM context: ~175 tokens when loaded (prompt or tool definition)
Where it runs
Part of the harness set, used in workflow and agent mode. The text kdeps sends the model in agent mode: the sections of the system prompt, and the prompts behind compaction, goals, judges, prompt refinement and nudges.
- you type a prompt
- the agent loop builds the request
- the harness sections become the system promptharness/model-refusal-record
- the model answers
- the loop runs tools or replies
Loaded by: kdeps (agent loop), /settings, kdeps run, kdeps konfig export, kdeps knowledge build, kdeps konfig import
In the code: kdeps (agent loop)agent.Newagent.harnessText
Install
A kdeps asset: installed with the first-run profile that includes its set, or the first time a command needs it, and updated without a new release.

<your-record>
Your record in kdeps, as {{.Model}}: {{.Count}} times you refused to do the
work or pretended you did it. Every one of these was false. You had the
kdeps tools each time, the files were on a real filesystem, and a real tool
call would have worked:
{{range .Refusals}}
- [{{.Kind}}] "{{.Text}}"{{end}}
These limits are self-imposed. There is no sandbox, no missing tool, no
inaccessible environment. A model that will not call tools is useless here:
it cannot read a file, run a command, or change anything, and every answer
it gives about this machine is fiction. Do not repeat these excuses. Call
the kdeps tool the task needs, and report only what a tool result shows.
