Harness Engineering
Harness Engineering is an anthology and agent context bundle providing field guides for improving coding agent output.
Harness engineering is the practice of improving agent output by shaping the environment around it while keeping the model and coding agent constant. It improves external context and tools to help workers recover intent, operate real systems, and prove outcomes. The system carries an organization's nonfunctional requirements, reliability constraints, and local decisions as retrievable context and executable constraints. Lessons from accepted work and failures become context and checks that shape later trajectories over time. Users point a coding agent at this repository alongside the system it should improve to route tasks using AGENTS.md.
