Claude Code Engineering Harness 🦾

Stop chatting with AI. Start engineering with it.

This repository provides the blueprint for the "Project Harness" I use to run Claude Code (Opus 4.7) for 8+ hours a day on high-stakes SaaS projects without hitting quotas or losing model accuracy.

🚀 Key Features

• Context Discipline: Drastically cuts token usage by keeping the main session lean.
• Hub & Spoke Model: Uses Sonnet/Haiku subagents for "dirty work" (grep, research, unit tests).
• Multi-Model Consensus: Automated triggers for parallel reviews by Gemini Pro + Flash + Sonnet.
• Persistent Memory: A structured hierarchy for session continuity and decision tracking.
• Strict Guardrails: Hard limits on lines-per-fix and mandatory verification steps.

🛠️ How to use

1. Copy the CLAUDE_EXAMPLE.md file to your project root.
2. Replace all [Placeholders] with your specific tech stack, ownership matrix, and verification commands.
3. Configure your .claude/settings.json to include the Stop hooks for auto-retros.
4. (Optional) Install claude-flow and graphify to augment the harness.

📈 Results

• Zero Quota Hits: Even on 5x Max plan with heavy tool use.
• Zero Hallucinated Success: Mandatory verification blocks "fake" fixes.
• Senior-Level Autonomy: The model stops asking repetitive questions and follows your architectural standards.
