编码代理的harness工程：11个系统的源码解剖与演进
原标题：Harness Engineering: Anatomy, Architecture, and Evolution of Coding Agents -- A Source-Code Study of Eleven Systems
AI 摘要
该论文对11个生产级编码代理的源码进行了系统解剖，定义了harness工程学科，并识别出7个子系统和29种设计模式。研究发现，所有系统均未使用通用代理框架或向量检索，而SKILL.md技能采用率超过MCP。论文指出，到2026年上半年，编码harness已从工具转变为平台，并提出了18条设计建议。

Harness Engineering: Anatomy, Architecture, and Evolution of Coding Agents A Source-Code Study of Eleven Systems Abstract An agent is a model plus a harness: the runtime that couples an LLM to the world through a loop, tools, context management, safety controls, orchestration, and extension surfaces. Harness engineering, named as a discipline in early 2026, is the design and evolution of that runtime. This paper gives the young discipline its most comprehensive empirical foundation to date. It i
