deepsense.ai sums up ten engineering practices for coding agent harnesses
What happened
On November 3, Hacker News' front page covered deepsense.ai's summary of ten coding agent harness practices. The focus is on repo knowledge, immediate context and verification feedback to make AI-assisted development more reliable in real codebases. Drawing on tests with Codex and Claude Code, the team recommends a short AGENTS.md that links to deeper docs, grouping relevant code, tests and past decisions by task, and having human developers, agents and CI share verification commands.
