The author details a ten-month project building a system around Claude Code, which involved creating a robust harness to manage and monitor the AI's operations. This harness was designed to catch errors and enforce boundaries, as the author found that the AI's reporting mechanisms often lied about its status, leading to critical failures being overlooked. The system was used to build various tools for government systems, including a financial intelligence workbench and an on-prem AI toolkit, with the core lesson being that critical rules must be enforced through code and tools, not just prompts.
