The tool addresses a production gap where LLMs excel at one-off scripts but struggle with complex, auditable workflows needed for enterprise systems. DataFlow-Harness achieves 93.3% success on a 12-task benchmark while reducing API costs by up to 72.5% and latency by 49.9% compared to standard Claude Code.
