Two open-access books on harness engineering — the design philosophies behind Claude Code and Codex — covering constraints, query loops, permission decisions, context governance, recovery, and multi-agent verification. The repository hosts the book sources (Python tooling) with free online reading and PDF downloads.
Use cases
- learn how Claude Code's agent harness is designed
- compare Claude Code and Codex architecture philosophies
- understand context governance and prompt layering for AI coding agents
- design permission and approval policies for coding agents
- study agent failure recovery and multi-agent verification patterns
- turn individual AI agent experience into reusable team rules
When to choose
- you build or evaluate AI coding agent systems and want architectural depth beyond feature checklists
- you need a structured framework for agent control planes, state, and governance
- you want free, readable books on agentic AI engineering in English or Chinese
When to avoid
- you need hands-on code or a runnable agent framework rather than design philosophy
- you want a line-by-line source code walkthrough of Claude Code or Codex
- you require a licensed, redistributable open-source work (no license is provided)
