5 star video, if you are going to watch one video to understand how harnesses and agents work, this is it.  This really had my gears spinning on what tools do for agents and how big of a difference they make in their ability to manage context efficiently and accurately create changes.  It's crazy how good bash works, and that gives the agents the ability to do just about everything, but it could be better.
