The Org Harness
The author proposes a two-layer system for managing AI agents, moving beyond the basic "project harness." The inner layer, the project harness, defines how an agent writes code within a specific repository, focusing on style and format. An outer "delivery harness" is introduced to manage tasks at a higher level, handling the backlog, defining work contracts, tracking status, and integrating human oversight for scaling operations. AI
IMPACT Proposes a structured approach to scaling AI agent workflows beyond basic task execution.
