Summary

Andrej Karpathy releases a document describing an agent architecture that shifts from prompt-based interactions to a loop-based system where the model handles execution and bookkeeping while the human owns the spec and boundaries, effectively turning Claude into an autonomous agent.

KARPATHY JUST KILLED THE PROMPT ERA WITH A SINGLE DOCUMENT

prompts are easy. loops are hard. and writing fifty prompts a day is the work nobody does twice.

he shifts the burden to the harness.

you define the contract once. the model writes, reviews, restarts, and reconciles. you keep judgment. it keeps the loop.

the throughline is the same in every rule: the human owns the spec and the boundary. the model owns the execution and the bookkeeping.

planner never touches code. generator never grades itself. state lives on disk, not in context.

9 rules. start with one feature, not ten. most people are still typing prompts. this turns Claude into an agent that finishes the job on its own.
