Overview
A 15-chapter book with 4 appendices that dissects Claude Code as an agent harness: the conversation loop, tool system, permission pipeline, memory, context compaction, hooks, subagents, coordinator mode, skills and MCP. It ends with a six-step roadmap for building your own harness. It is an independent analysis, not an official Anthropic publication, and an English version exists under en/.
Who it is for: Engineers studying or building coding-agent runtimes, in Chinese or English

- Appendices list tools, 89 feature flags, source modules and a 100-term glossary
- Includes a six-step roadmap and exercises for building your own harness
- Chinese main text with a full English version
Weaknesses
- Documentation only; no runnable harness implementation to install
- No repository license detected; book text is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, non-commercial only
- Analysis of a proprietary product; README says counts and timings are not release guarantees
- Primary text is Chinese; English edition is a separate translation that may lag
