README
rharness
Cover made with the rharness figures plugin.
rharness is an opinionated research harness for ML and NLP work done with coding agents. One command gives you a workspace where every paper project has a contract the agent must obey, a record of every session, and a lint that tells you when the two drift apart. It is markdown and small scripts, not an app: the agent reads the files, you edit them, git tracks them.
The opinions
These are not defaults you configure. They are the product. Also at [vein05.github.io/rharness](https://vein05.github.io/rharness/#opinions).
- A kill criterion before any spend. Every project starts with
CHARTER.md: the core question, the result that means the paper exists, and the result that means stop. - Spec before code. The headline table is designed in
spec/scoring.mdbefore a single number exists, with its control row and its ceiling row. Code without a spec is a probe and never produces a paper number. - Never rewrite history. Handoffs, changelogs, and experiment reports are dated and append-only. Corrections are added on top with a date.
- **Every number trace
