An Empirical Study of Harness Design for Coding Agents

This study explores how different components of a coding harness affect the performance of autonomous coding agents. By varying planning, action space, and context management while keeping the execution loop fixed, the research evaluates 176 settings across four models on specific benchmarks. Key findings include the growing importance of context management with tighter context windows and the role of planning in cost efficiency for stronger models.
