    Building Reliable Workflows Around Non-Deterministic Agents
    Ian Johnson

    This book teaches harness engineering as a discipline. Not magic prompts. Not vendor tricks. Engineering practice applied to a new substrate.

  4. Claude Code for Legacy Modernization
    Claude Code for Legacy Modernization
    Recover Hidden Business Rules, Build a Verification Harness, and Modernize Critical Systems Without Breaking Production
    Thomas De Vos

    Legacy modernization is an evidence problem before it is a code-generation problem. Use Claude Code to recover hidden behavior, build a verification harness, and move critical systems in controlled, reversible slices without handing production decisions to AI.
