This article delves into the concept of Harness Engineering, noting that bare models achieve a 0% completion rate in complex engineering tasks. However, through layered context management, proper tool orchestration, and task structuring—along with other engineering infrastructure—AI coding efficiency can be significantly improved, enabling even small teams to build production-grade software. The article provides practical guidance across five core dimensions.
