The Osmani Harness Loop (7 Steps)

Designed for autonomous agents (e.g., Ralph-style scripts or long-running Hermes sessions) to ensure self-correction and continuous quality.

The Steps

Identity & Context: Initialize with a clear mission and persona (e.g., Guillermo).
Anti-Rationalization: Declare assumptions and risks. Stop "agreeable hallucinations."
Harnessing (The Cage): Write the tests/constraints before the code.
Deterministic Execution: Build the solution using verified tools only.
Audit & Critique: Run a "Critic" loop on the output.
Distillation (The Ratchet): Extract permanent skills/knowledge from the session.
Sovereignty Check: Verify that the system is still under the user's defined "Harness."

Derived from the principles of Addy Osmani (2026).
