Should we let vibe-coded agent harnesses dictate protocol design now..?
On the flip side, I'd argue that the current centralisation of user agents (in the classical sense here) that benefit from programmatic content negotiation in form of a handful of harnesses like Claude or Codex is a great lever toward forcing the ecosystem to adopt better practices: If Anthropic added content negotiation as described in this thread to Claude, many sites would be incentivised to improve their web servers.
