This section introduces the core concepts you need to understand MoAI-ADK v3.0. The value of v3.0 comes down to three core elements — Tokenomics (Token Economics), Agentic Loop Engineering, and the Agentic Harness. The documents in this section unpack, one by one, how those three core elements work in a real development flow.

Three Core Elements

Core Element	Key Question	Representative Document
Tokenomics	How do we get the same quality with fewer tokens?	What is MoAI-ADK?
Agentic Loop Engineering	How does the loop work and learn on its own?	Harness Engineering
Agentic Harness	How do we design an environment where agents work well?	SPEC-Based Development · TRUST 5

Learning Order

Order	Document	Key Question
1	What is MoAI-ADK?	What is MoAI-ADK, and why does it aim for tokenomics?
2	Harness Engineering	What does it mean to design the environment instead of writing code directly?
3	SPEC-Based Development	How do we define and manage requirements clearly?
4	Development Methodology (DDD/TDD)	How do we improve existing code without breaking it?
5	TRUST 5 Quality	By what standards is code quality guaranteed?
6	Constitution System	When the harness evolves on its own, what governs that evolution?

Info
Summarized as a flow: decide what to build with a SPEC, build it safely with DDD/TDD, and verify quality with TRUST 5. The harness wraps this entire loop, and as the loop runs the harness learns and its guidance evolves — the safeguard for that evolution is the Constitution.
