Self-Harness: Harnesses That Improve Themselves
Self-Harness introduces a new paradigm where LLM-based agents iteratively improve their own operating harness by mining model-specific weaknesses, proposing harness modifications, and validating them through regression testing, achieving substantial performance gains on Terminal-Bench-2.0 across multiple base models.
