THE ROLE OF THE AI HARNESS ENGINEER

PRACTICE LAB CONNECTION Use the finished Resume Review Agent from Chapters 65 through 69 as your worked artifact for the prompts below. For the status update, list the real changes you made to the lab across the five stages, such as adding the permission gate, fixing write_report, and adding the repeated-call guard. For the handoff document, choose one component, such as hooks.py or the supervisor, and imagine a teammate who knows general programming but is new to agent harnesses. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ASSISTANT PROMPTS Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own material before use. [START OF PROMPT] Draft a weekly status update summarizing this week's harness-engineering work across the relevant ETCLOVG layers, suitable to send to a cross-functional team: this week's activity = [PASTE NOTES/COMMITS/TICKETS/LAB CHANGES HERE]. Output format: a short status update with sections What Shipped, What's In Progress, Risks/Blockers, Next Week. [END OF PROMPT] [START OF PROMPT] Draft a handoff document explaining this harness component to a new team member joining the project, assuming they know general software engineering but are new to agent harnesses: component = [PASTE LAB OR PRODUCTION COMPONENT CODE/DESCRIPTION HERE]. Output format: a handoff doc with sections Purpose, How It Works, Key Risks/Gotchas, Where to Look When It Breaks. [END OF PROMPT]
