Agents optimizing harnesses with filesystem stored experience

March 30, 2026Chelsea Finn

Chelsea Finn describes research showing agents rely on hand-engineered harnesses and can optimize the harness itself by storing experience in a filesystem and selectively inspecting it to improve end performance.

Agents like Claude Code do amazing things relying critically on hand-engineered harnesses
We show how agents can optimize the harness w.r.t. end performance
Key idea: store all experience in a filesystem & allow agents to selectively inspect it
