DeciCAD: Harness-Grounded Learning of Action Policies for CAD Agents

We investigate how this operating space shapes agent behavior and policy learning in computer-aided design (CAD), a professional domain characterized by persistent state, geometric constraints, and long-horizon procedures.

Key points

  • Large Language Model agents operate through closed-loop action policies whose decision space is defined by an agent harness.
  • We instantiate this perspective in DeciCAD, a domain-native harness that exposes semantic CAD actions, decision-oriented observations, environment feedback, and persistent state transitions.
  • Building on this harness, we develop a learning pipeline that extracts causal decision supervision from interaction trajectories and improves the policy through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and geometry-grounded online reinforcement learning (RL).
  • These results demonstrate that the decision space induced by a harness materially affects both agent execution and policy learning in CAD.
