What you'll learn
What harness engineering is and why it emerged.
How AI interaction evolved from crafting prompts to designing the full system an agent operates inside.
What it looks like in practice
Real examples of harnesses in production, including how OpenAI's Codex team structured theirs
How to build your first harness this afternoon.
Three pieces you can set up today: an onboarding file, structural constraints, and a
feedback loop.
Why this topic matters
AI agents can write code, read your email, and run workflows on a schedule. Getting
them to do it reliably is a systems problem. Harness engineering is how you build the
constraints, feedback loops, and infrastructure that wrap around an agent so it
performs consistently. In 30 minutes, we walk through what a harness is, why it
matters, and how to start building one.
