A harness is the software that translates a model into a system that can affect its environment. Agent = Model + Harness.

Agentic Engineering Management
To what extent AI is OK to use in software development might be debated, but in general, the idea is not a controversial one anymore. The debate rather moved on from code completion and simple PR summarizations to Agentic Engineering, where an execution loop allows an AI Agent to function

Skills, forks, and self-surgery: how agent harnesses grow
Claude Code, NanoClaw, and Pi take radically different approaches to harness extensibility. The tradeoff is always safety vs. agent agency.
