Harness Engineering for Long-Running, Code Executing, and Persistent AI Agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw
What you'll learn
⚡ Build a Complete Harness: Design and implement a multi-layered agent harness from scratch using raw Python and custom execution loops.
⚡ Implement Multi-Session Memory: Utilize the AGENTS[dot]md memory file standard alongside vector-indexed retrieval for persistent, cross-session recall.
⚡ Defeat Context Rot: Implement advanced compaction hooks and tool call offloading middleware to sustain model performance over long runs.
⚡ Secure Code Execution: Engineer isolated Docker sandboxes with execution timeouts, command allow-lists, and restricted outbound networks.
⚡ Optimize with LangSmith Tracing: Build a rigorous evaluation harness to profile agent traces, diagnose failures, and measure benchmark pass rates.
⚡ Orchestrate Long-Horizon Tasks: Deploy the "Ralph Loop" to intercept premature agent exits and enforce goal-driven, autonomous continuity.
Requirements
❗ Python Proficiency: Strong comfort with advanced Python syntax, file handling, and structural logic.
❗ LLM Foundations: Basic familiarity with Large Language Models, chat APIs, and the fundamental mechanics of prompting.
❗ Environment Tools: Comfort using the command line (Bash) and a local development machine with Docker installed for sandboxing.
