    Harness Engineering

    Description

    Generative UI

    Description

    Planned. Its schedule of parts:

    • Generative UI: the model producing the interface, not just the text inside it
    • Event streaming: sending a run's steps to the front end as they happen
    • Server-Sent Events, and why they fit an agent better than a single response does

General notes

Once the fundamentals are solid, these modules cover the craft of actually building good agents: prompting, context, coding agents, harnesses, security, and more.

Every claim in these modules is cited to a primary source that was fetched and checked, and each module ends with a References section. These topics mostly changed within the last year, so go and read the source when it matters.
