Who it is forAn agent engineer who must decide how to improve the harness around a frozen model.
The problemHarness self-improvement papers vary in method, and their claims are hard to compare side by side.
The outcomeA one-page comparison of key harness papers with dates, claims, and code links.
What you need first
- A web browser, or an agent that can read GitHub pages
- A place to save a short list or table of entries
Steps
- Open the Harness Design section of the repository.
- Read the entries for Self-Harness, Meta-Harness, and Harness² and note their dates.
- Follow the GitHub link for Meta-Harness and the official code link for Harness².
- Compare how each entry gates or tests harness edits, using the abstract wording.
- Write a one-page summary that links each paper.
Prompt for your agent
Using the repo KaiWU5/Awesome-AI4AI, summarize the Harness Design entries for <target research question>, including Self-Harness, Meta-Harness, and Harness². Expected output: a comparison table with columns for date, claim, and code link. Verify that each claim matches the wording in the README.
Caveat. The README reports publisher claims, and the repo does not independently verify those results.
