DrugHarness: An Evolvable Agent Harness for Computational Drug Discovery

Here we introduce DrugHarness, an evolvable agent harness coupling composable scientific execution with conditional skill induction.

Key points

  • Computational drug discovery requires agents to compose scientific operations and adapt to changing evidence and constraints.
  • From execution trajectories and outcome feedback, DrugHarness induces action hypotheses with observable applicability conditions, recommended actions and supporting evidence.
  • Evaluation on MolBench and SMDD-Bench demonstrates capabilities in molecular screening, optimization and constrained design.
  • These results support conditional skill evolution for scientific agents and demonstrate a workflow connecting computational drug design with experimental validation.
