Key points

  • The work starts from the observation that a globally optimized harness tuned to the average may not be optimal for every task instance.
  • It recycles byproducts from a finished optimization run into a structured playbook, avoiding the cost of re-running expensive search.
  • A harness editor referencing the playbook generates instance-specific patches, so the execution model runs in a tailored environment.
  • It consistently outperformed existing harness optimization methods across 7 benchmarks covering interactive agents, software engineering, and long-horizon terminal tasks.
