We define what a harness is and derive the core components today's and tomorrow's agents need by working backwards from desired agent behavior.Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMThttps://vtrivedy.com/posts/improving-deep-agents-with-harness-engineering/https://vtrivedy.com/posts/improving-deep-agents-with-harness-engineering/Our coding agent went from Top 30 to Top 5 on Terminal Bench 2.0. We only changed the harness. Here's our approach to harness engineering.Tue, 17 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMThttps://vtrivedy.com/posts/agents-should-be-more-opinionated/https://vtrivedy.com/posts/agents-should-be-more-opinionated/The best agent products aren't the most flexible, they're the most opinionated. Learn why agents need fewer knobs, not more, and how to design around model intelligence spikes.Tue, 25 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMThttps://vtrivedy.com/posts/modern-planning-agent-dynamic-adaptive-workflow-generator/https://vtrivedy.com/posts/modern-planning-agent-dynamic-adaptive-workflow-generator/Understanding how modern planning agents work as just-in-time, adaptive workflow generators and their role as universal bridge nodes in workflow builders.Fri, 24 Oct 2025 14:00:00 GMThttps://vtrivedy.com/posts/claudecode-tools-reference/https://vtrivedy.com/posts/claudecode-tools-reference/A guide to the built-in tools available in Claude Code, including parameters, usage patterns, and examples.
