Empirical study dissects which coding-agent harness components actually help
HamedZamani · x · 2026-09-18
An empirical study of harness design for coding agents: harnesses handle planning, tool use and context management, but most evaluations compare complete agent systems, obscuring individual component contributions. The study systematically tests which harness components help and when, offering component-level evidence for agent engineering.
