From context management to harness design, 10 practical habits that eliminate context rot and dramatically improve your coding agent's success rate.

AI agents write code fast, but ML experiments operate on a different timescale — real verification takes days or weeks. One implementation bug can invalidate a promising research direction. One unsaved checkpoint wastes days of training. Superpowers-ML extends software engineering discipline into ML through a four-layer Validation Pyramid that catches problems in minutes, plus a Watchdog system for long-running training — making every attempt count.
