If your team is using AI coding tools, you've probably noticed they work better when properly configured. The term "harness engineering" describes everything around the AI model itself. Think of it as the scaffolding that makes AI assistants actually useful in real development work. This article explains how to build trust in these tools through better structure and feedback loops. Worth a read if you're managing a dev team experimenting with AI.
