Description
When an AI agent fails to reach production, the cause is rarely the intelligence of the model itself: it is the system around it. What it sees as input, how it is evaluated, and what it is authorized to do. That discipline is harness engineering: understanding where an agentic system fails, in what order to intervene, and why a change in context can be as impactful as changing the model itself.
