Developer @yacineMTB shared more engineering details on controlling open-source models for complex coding tasks. Using a custom-built tmux-auto tool, he can keep agent projects running on track for extended periods.
The workflow involves extending the Dolphin emulator with custom tooling, pulling public Super Smash Bros. match replays, and creating a test harness to evaluate character positions side-by-side. This highlights how engineering harnesses can compensate for model limitations and enable intense automated development.
