Beyond Prompts: The Rise of Harness Engineering and System-Level AI Thinking
This week's Glean traces a clear arc: we're moving decisively from the era of 'how to prompt better' into the depths of building engineering systems around AI. With Claude Code's Dynamic Workflows, ClickHouse's official Agent Skills, and Claude Managed Agents gaining cross-session 'Dreaming' and self-assessment, a clear signal emerges—the easy wins from single-point efficiency are plateauing. The real divide now lies in who can integrate context engineering, harness engineering, and organizational restructuring into repeatable, governable productivity systems. From Karpathy-inspired CLAUDE.md philosophies to ByteDance's data-backed 'context as moat' thesis, we've curated the week's most essential practices, reflections, and engineering blueprints. This edition is for every builder who refuses to be merely a user of AI.
