The opposite is true.
There is barely any magic in the harness, the magic is in the model.
Try it: write your own harness with (bash, read, write, edit) ... it's trivial to get a 99% version of (pick your favorite harness) -- minus the bells and whistles.
The "magic of the harness" comes from the fun auxiliary orchestration stuff - hard engineering for sure! - but seriously, the model is the key item.
- butlike 8mo agoNot all percentages are weighted equally. That 1% is worth a lot more than the low-hanging 99% from your example
- mccoyb 8mo agoIs it? Look at pi, for instance. It turns out that "most of the bell and whistles" could amount to instructing models how to use tools like tmux
- tvink 8mo agoThis is the complete opposite of my experience.
- mccoyb 8mo agoDoes your experience include writing your own agent? Send a link
- ted537 8mo agoYeah I agree with this. The only tool that really matters is file patching -- which you can check something like the opencode patch implementation, its fairly straightforward.
