Harness-IF: Evaluating Instruction Following Across Instruction Surfaces in Coding Agents

Zining Huang, Haoran Que, Hong Zeng +8

When a coding agent obeys a rule, it may simply have been going to do that anyway. Existing instruction-following benchmarks cannot tell the difference: they concentrate rules in t…
