How I Taught My Agent My Design Taste

Can you automate taste? The short answer is no, you cannot automate taste, but I did make my design preferences legible. But for those interested in my experiment, I'll share the longer answer: I wanted to participate in Genuary, the annual challenge where people create one piece of creative coding every day in January. My goal here wasn't to "outsource" my creativity. Instead, I wanted to use Genuary as a sandbox to learn agentic engineering workflows. These workflows are becoming the standard for how developers work with technology. To keep my skills sharp, I used goose to experiment with these workflows in small, daily bursts. By building a system where goose handles the execution, I could test different architectures side-by-side. This experiment allowed me to determine which parts of an agentic workflow actually add value and which parts I should ditch. I spent a few hours focused on infrastructure to buy myself an entire month of workflow data. 💡 Skills are reusable sets of instructions and resources that teach goose how to perform specific tasks. The Inspiration I have to give a huge shout-out to my friend Andrew Zigler. I saw him crushing Genuary and reached out to see how he was doing it. He shared his creations and mentioned he was using a "harness." I'll admit, I'd been seeing people use that term all December, but I didn't actually know what it meant. Andrew explained: a harness is just the toolbox you build for the model. It's the set...
