When NOT to use harness-books
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If seeking generic AI agent design guidelines that do not focus on the specifics of Claude Code or Codex implementations.
- When the aim is to work with other types of AI agents or frameworks unrelated to the technologies detailed in harness-books.
