AI dev harness prioritizes verifiable proof over speed

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author developed an AI development harness over four months to build a shipping product, emphasizing verifiable proof and human oversight for agent-generated work. This system employs a five-role loop (Strategy, Execution, Critic, Eval, Ops) with stronger models for judgment roles and cheaper ones for execution, all managed by an orchestration layer directed by the human operator. A key feature is a cold, independent critic gate that reviews work without prior context, ensuring objective evaluation before irreversible actions like committing to Git, which always require explicit human approval. AI

IMPACT This approach offers a framework for building reliable AI-driven development tools by focusing on verifiable outputs and human-in-the-loop control.
