Regardless of which harness you use, asking your agent to self-edit its own .claude (and to put it in the repo itself so you see the changes) is the single biggest impact change you can make in terms of compounding improvement. Couple this with telling it to create skills for /garden (clean up drift based on what changed this session), /handoff (garden, create ant skills to resolve friction encountered this session, and write a summary of the session and note for next agent), /takeover (read the latest handoff file). Since doing this I’ve completely cured my session-abandonment anxiety and can confidently swap to a new session at < 20% context usage without feeling like I’m talking to someone who just woke up from a coma.
