SummaryAnthropic describes a harness for long-running agents that work across multiple context windows, using an initializer agent to set up the environment on first run and a coding agent that makes incremental progress while leaving artifacts for the next session.
Why it mattersFirst-party Anthropic engineering write-up with a concrete two-agent pattern and linked code examples for bridging context window limits.
