What you'll learn
Know what a harness is
The instructions file, the handover file, and the hooks that a coding agent reads and obeys before it acts.
Know what a loop is
A schedule, a job queue, a worker, and a findings file. I show mine on a live screen.
See how the two work together
The loop runs the agent while you are away. The harness keeps each run inside your rules. I show one job.
Why this topic matters
Harness engineering is the set of files and hooks that tell a coding agent what to do and what it must not do. Loop engineering is the schedule and the queue that run the agent when you are away. In 45 minutes I show how the two work together on my own setup, which ran 2,328 unattended jobs between Nov 7 and Nov 10, 2026. At the end I tell you about the one-day workshop.
