Build real agentic apps using CUGA: two dozen working examples on a lightweight harness

CUGA is an open-source agent harness from IBM designed to simplify the development of agentic applications by handling the underlying plumbing. It manages planning, execution loops, tool calls, and state, allowing developers to focus on defining the agent's tools and prompt. The system supports features like configurable reasoning modes, long-horizon planning with self-correction, and interchangeable tools from various sources. An example IBM Cloud advisor application demonstrates how to build a functional agent with minimal code, which can then be deployed in a governed production environment.
