I’ve been thinking about how we practically implement this at an organizational layer for large codebases. There’s clearly alpha to be had in optimizing AGENTS.md / skills / tools / … to improve performance, quality, and cost efficiency of an agent. The problem is defining what quality means, and providing a way for agents to optimize the harness using that lever.

The first step I see towards this is building a generic, reliable, and accurate *fitness function* for codebases - turning PRs into gradeable tasks that an agent can solve, and improve on.

I’m pretty curious how others are optimizing the coding agent harness now, as this has been a huge pain point for my company (we’re pretty much relying solely on vibes).
