Agent Harness, Loop and Graph: Three Layers Behind Reliable AI Agents
Why unreliable agents are usually missing a layer: the harness around the model, an evidence-driven loop and an explicit graph, with code patterns and a debugging checklist.
15 min readPrompt, Context, Harness, Loop: The Four Layers Behind an AI Agent
Prompt, context, harness and loop: the four layers behind every AI agent, from prompt engineering up, and why each exists because the layer below fell short.
7 min readAgent Harness Explained: The Components That Turn an LLM Into an Agent
What an agent harness is, why long-running LLM agents need one, the eight components it's built from, and how they cooperate on a real coding agent task.
6 min readAgent Harness From Scratch: Six Stages and an Experiment That Isolates Gains
A harness can move benchmark scores more than the model. Build a small agent harness in six stages and test one change at a time to see what actually helped.

Event-log-as-truth, graded loop warnings, explicit truncation, permission-checked code mode and fresh-agent handoffs: five patterns for building debuggable agent systems.
9 min readHarness Engineering: The Foundation of Reliable AI Agents
Harness engineering as the foundation of reliable AI agents: what an LLM is, what makes it an agent, and what the harness adds around the agent loop itself.
