Codebase-specific agent harnesses may beat general-purpose ones, argues secemp9

secemp9 predicts the rise of agent harnesses tailored to specific codebases or tasks, paralleling how models evolved beyond general-purpose ones.

Referencing the recent debate around self-modifying harnesses (dsh, omp, Pi agent), he argues the field would benefit more from experimenting across that axis and finding what works in specific cases than from seeking one universal harness.
