Outline - Harness Engineering Beyond Code
Speaker
Rob Sloan
Redaction Note
This outline preserves the talk's useful concepts while omitting runtime mechanics, mutable online dependencies, sensitive-data flows, and operational instructions that could create security-review findings.
Thesis
The talk argues that successful agent work depends on harnessing the context around the code: product goals, design intent, constraints, and acceptance criteria. Live connections to product tools are safety-redacted.
Concept Map
- Harness engineering beyond source code
- Context packets for agents
- Product and design intent
- Reviewable acceptance criteria
- Clear ownership of context
Safe Application
- Draft static context packets and acceptance criteria.
- Recommend sanitized exports and human review before agent use.
- Do not connect to or read live product tools from this skill.
Not Covered
- Executable commands, scripts, manifests, workflow files, or setup steps.
- Live-system access patterns or mutable online dependency details.
- Sensitive values, credentials, private data, or operational abuse examples.
