Prompt-Only vs. Rules-First: How Much Difference Does a Harness Make Lecture 01. Strong Models Don't Mean Reliable Execution As of late 2025, the strongest coding agents on SWE-bench Verified achieve roughly a 50-60% pass rate. That number sounds decent at first glance — but don't celebrate just yet. Those are carefully selected tasks with clear issue descriptions and ready-made test cases. Hand the agent your everyday
