tom_doerr · x · 2026-09-11
- The GitHub project agents-best-practices (2.3k stars) is a provider-neutral Agent Skill for designing, generating MVP blueprints for, auditing, refactoring, and explaining agentic harnesses.
- Core principle: "the model proposes actions; the harness validates, authorizes, executes, records, and returns observations."
- It applies beyond coding agents to research, support, operations, sales, finance, data analysis, legal, and healthcare workflow agents.
- Install with npx skills add DenisSergeevitch/agents-best-practices -g or paste the README prompt into your agent; works with Codex, Claude Code, and other harnesses.
