Domain-Specific Agent Harness

The author shares the concept of a "domain-specific opinionated harness": by encoding domain-specific structures into the agent harness, significant gains can be achieved. The post includes code demonstrations showing that this improvement comes from high reliance on specific business domains rather than general tricks.
The core conclusion is that the value of such harnesses lies in making domain knowledge, constraints, and execution paths explicit, making the agent more stable and effective on specific tasks.
