I don't even know how to feel about this after glancing through the repo.
Just another framework, dime a dozen these days.

#32What percentage of this was written with AI? > A command can feel ambient without making its credential model-visible. I'd be wary of following guidelines on how to build human-computer interaction systems that weren't written with full human oversight. This kind of wording makes me wonder if these are actual recommendations or just the AI pattern-matching and hallucinating something that looks coherent.
You can read the receipts in the linked source material yourself. I’ve also read and signed off on every word in this anthology. Try it before you knock it? But yes, 100% of the content of this repository was written by GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra.
It might be readable to agents but to me it reads like a manic babble.
It's a topic that interests me a lot, I am not a blind AI hater and I can usually stomach LLM prose without issues but I am lost and repulsed here.

#33Hi folks, author here and also author of the seminal OpenAI blog on this topic. Let me know how I can help you all let it rip.
You call your own blog post seminal and quote yourself in the repo.
Are you … alright?

i'd love to see a way (forum, competition, ?) for people to compare harnesses in different domains. folks like accountants, retail store owners, electrical engineers, and all sorts of niches are building personal harnesses/toolkits around claude/codex. those toolkits fit neither their domain communities nor SWE-heavy harness spaces, and a generic home for small niches could help them flourish.
a current problem is nomenclature. i suspect that many people have organically grown toolkits substantial enough to call harnesses, but are not close enough to the SWE bubble to be familiar with the word harness. ai has made it easier than ever to build bridges between domains, but it's also made it easier than ever to get domain tunnel vision and reinvent a super great wheel.

In my little ai bubble the original blog post was very influential. It does sound immodest, but could also be true.

#36Prompt engineering, context engineering, now harness engineering. I guess in a few months we'll have looped back to software engineering ?
All these buzzwords for basically what's glorified tweaking and configuration. All these years I should have mentioned I was doing Debugger Engineering and IDE Engineering

I am getting my hair stood up by all the Comment Engineering going on in this thread. If all of the participants are organics, who are you people? If most is bots, the prospects are grim.
