Andrej Karpathy's four principles for AGENTS.md — Think Before Coding, Simplicity First, Surgical Changes, Goal-Driven Execution — became a 179k-star GitHub repo. Here's what they are and why they work.
Git worktrees let you check out multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories. For AI agents running in parallel, they're not a nice-to-have — they're the only way to avoid chaos.
Harness engineering is the complete environment you build around an AI model — tools, constraints, feedback loops, and context. Learn what it is, how it differs from prompt and context engineering, and how to start building one.
Most teams are not bad at giving AI context. They're bad at putting the right context in the right layer. Here's a practical, architecture-aware framework for AGENTS.md, repo-wide instructions, and path-specific overrides.
Learn how VS Code Copilot hooks let you run shell commands at key agent lifecycle points — block dangerous operations, auto-format code, inject context, and build audit trails.
