In a large codebase the bottleneck isn't how smart Opus is — it's how precisely you point it and how tightly you verify. Six portable moves to steer a fast agent so its speed lands on the right target instead of becoming faster waste.
19 min readHermes Agent proved an AI agent can run a self-improving loop — but it's bolted to the Hermes runtime. ADD gives you the same compounding loop on Claude Code and Codex, plus the safety gate Hermes lacks. The loop becomes an asset you own, not a feature you rent.
9 min readADD and Claude Code's Plan Mode both fix direction before an agent builds — but at different scales. Plan Mode is an in-session, read-only guardrail; ADD is a cross-session, evidence-gated method. Why the question isn't which, but which layer.
14 min readEveryone debates which AI model is best. The real engineering happens in the harness — the production system of tools, permissions, memory, and orchestration that makes any model actually useful. This is a map of that system, drawn from real source code.
