RiseHarness improves terminal-agent harnesses without changing evaluated model weights. It compares mixed outcomes using agent and harness traces plus a behavior-to-code Handbook, adapts designs, and retains changes after checks and repeated evaluation. On Terminal-Bench Hard with DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Pass@1 rose from 56.75% to 64%, and four-run Pass₄ rose from 37% to 51%; these comparisons suggest harness issues but do not establish causation.
