Harness Engineering

  • Project Folder (Repository) = System of Record: All knowledge must exist explicitly within the repo.
    • AGENTS.md should be kept short, with actual knowledge distributed in docs/ structure.
    • Documents are also mechanically verified with CI and lint.
  • Agent Legibility
    First: Code style prioritizes structures that agents can easily understand over human preferences.
    • Architecture layer structure: Types → Config → Repo → Service → Runtime → UI
    • Dependency direction enforced by lint. Rules are enforced by code, not documentation.
  • Agents directly handle UI, logs, and metrics
    • Chrome DevTools Protocol integration.
    • LogQL / PromQL access available, feedback loop must be automated
