Lottie Plugin for Continuous Agent-Driven Animation Editing

The author introduces a Lottie plugin for Qoder that moves beyond one-shot generation, enabling AI agents to continuously edit animations by preserving engineering state with MotionProgram and MotionRuntime, using a JavaScript-based Agentic DSL, CLI-over-MCP execution, and Canvas-driven visual feedback to ensure stable object identity, versioning, and verified modifications.

Artifact-Centered Agent Loops: Redefining Human-AI Collaboration with Harness

The article argues for shifting from conversation-centered to artifact-centered agent loops, where humans and AI agents collaboratively evolve a shared work product; it explains how Harness maintains intent, versioning, operations, and verification evidence across diverse artifacts like code, slides, and 3D models.

How Harness Inspector Makes AI Agent Deliveries Observable, Inspectable, and Traceable

Harness Inspector is a read‑only local workbench that unifies requirements, Agent sessions, file activity, and Git commits into a single interface, enabling developers to trace the full delivery chain from intent through process to output and assess which agent actions merit skill extraction.

Engineering Agent Plugins: Making Skills Verifiable, Maintainable, and Evolvable

The article outlines a five‑step engineering workflow—spec‑driven contracts, context orchestration, deterministic verification, behavior testing, and an evidence loop—to ensure that Agent plugin skills remain correctly triggered, executed, and validated across users, projects, and host environments, and that any change demonstrably improves rather than degrades performance.

How Better Harness Embeds Engineering Best Practices into Qoder to Boost Efficiency

Better Harness, a new Beta feature in Qoder Desktop, analyzes Coding Agent loops by visualizing the harness, pinpointing missing or weak elements, and guiding users to define goals, boundaries, and validation methods so each loop becomes a reliable, continuously improving delivery cycle.
