Why Shorter Prompts Work Better: Building a Stronger TeaQL Agent Harness
· 7 min read
Our most important practical finding today was simple:
The shorter and clearer the prompt, the more effectively the coding agent works.
That does not mean removing constraints. It means moving detailed constraints out of prose and into an executable harness: the TeaQL Generation Service, generated typed APIs, model-aware assist, compiler feedback, and tests.
Today we rebuilt TeaQL Agent Kit around that finding. The agent creates a typed domain contract, the Generation Service evaluates it, generated guidance constrains the implementation, and human review happens in parallel.
The smaller, clearer workflow is now distributed as a standard Agent Skill
named build-teaql-app.
