Harness Engineering

I believe most people don't realize they can point their agents at my writing and improve output by 100x. Harness engineering treats the model as a black box, focusing instead on shaping the environment with context and tools. By embedding an organization's nonfunctional requirements into code, we make judgment cumulative. This approach ensures agents recover intent, respect authority, and leave systems better equipped for future runs.
