Description
Prime Agent is an open-source, self-improving coding harness built around two abstractions: the Recursive Language Model (RLM) and the Continual Harness. With Opus 5, it achieves 95.5% on ARC-AGI-3, surpassing the reported human expert baseline.

Could you build this?
No It introduces novel agentic abstractions and algorithmic harness architectures that push state-of-the-art benchmark boundaries (95.5% on ARC-AGI-3), requiring deep AI research and prompt-theory expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires cutting-edge AI research to architect Recursive Language Models (RLMs) that safely evaluate and modify their own execution harnesses, search spaces, and execution loops. Builders need deep theoretical and empirical expertise in autonomous reasoning, formal verification, and LLM metaprogramming to avoid infinite loops and performance degradation.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
