Stop Just Reviewing Diffs: An Evidence-Based Approach to Evaluating AI Coding Agent Workflows

Better Hands-On Guide: How to Review AI Coding Agent Workflows with Evidence Reviewing Diffs is Not Enough: How to Evaluate AI Coding Agent Workflows AI coding agents write code quickly, but the workflows surrounding them are often fragile. If you only review the final code diff, you miss systemic issues. Better Harness is an open-source tool that analyzes the workflow behind the changes, gathers project and session evidence, and translates specific gaps into prioritized improvements. It focuses the analysis on a closed loop of feedforward guidance and feedback sensors. Feedforward guidance includes AGENTS.md, specs, and acceptance criteria. Feedback sensors include …
