Add ralfstrobel/agentic-brownfield-coding to Generators & Meta-Harnesses

[ralfstrobel]

Addition

Agentic Brownfield Coding (ABC) under Reference Implementations → Generators & Meta-Harnesses

Notes

• Entry could also reasonably fit under the neighboring Tutorials & Educational subsection, given its didactic framing.
• Appended to the end of the subsection, as current ordering does not seem alphabetic but chronological.
• Included the stars badge consistent with other entries.

Why it's worth including

ABC is functionally a scaffolding meta-harness. Compared to existing entries, it differs in two aspects:

1. Mechanism — no deterministic generator or fixed templating.
   All artifacts are produced by the agent in a guided dialogue with the engineer,
   resulting in a highly tailored harness for one concrete complex codebase.
2. Audience — ABC is aimed at senior engineers who are fluent in software architecture but have limited prior exposure
   to advanced coding-agent use. A background essay and example workflows explain every design choice.
   The goal is to leave behind both an initial harness and the conceptual grounding to review and evolve it.
   This addresses the gap between greenfield tutorials and the realities of agentic coding in large brownfield projects.

Contributing Guidelines

• Addresses specific harness problems (context delivery, tool design, permissions, memory, verification, sandboxing).
• Worth someone's time — note explains why (3 sentences instead of 1-2, length consistent with sibling entries).
• Not vendor-agnostic (Claude Code), but the underlying patterns generalize (codified context, hook-enforced policy, bash-less harnesses).

Additionally

• URL verified
• markdown renders correctly
