Scaffolding and gradually augmenting an existing codebase with an efficient harness setup. 2. Learning controlled agentic development workflows with a human-in-the-loop mindset. Background The ABC project arose from a dissatisfaction with the built-in /init command of Claude Code, which tries to derive agent instructions by scanning the existing repository content. Especially for large and complex codebases, this approach generally leads to poor results, as summarized comprehensively by Google engineer Addy Osmani. Another major inspiration was Dexter Horthy's work on AI in Complex Codebases which has become known for the RPI workflow. Together with co-founder Kyle Mistele, he promotes disciplined harness engineering and controlled interactive workflows to rein in the non-determinism of coding agents. Details about the concrete hypotheses and design philosophy behind the ABC solutions can be found in the full length background essay. System Requirements - Linux — natively supported, requires jq installed - macOS — supported (agent will substitute GNU-only utilities), requires jq installed - Windows — requires Git Bash and jq on PATH Installation [!TIP] The separate init plugin is only required once for scaffolding and can be uninstalled after.
