Harness Setup
Use this skill when a repo needs a portable harness layer: a root instruction file, a navigable docs map, a task execution board, and a doc tree an agent can follow without guessing the repo shape.
Outcome
Deliver the smallest useful harness that still gives an agent clear entry points:
- root
AGENTS.mdor equivalent docs/OVERVIEW.mddocs/feature/INDEX.mddocs/reference/INDEX.mddocs/archive/INDEX.md- module-level
README.md/INDEX.md tasks/<module>/taskBoard.mdfor multi-wave or multi-node work (under harness-engineering-plan)- leaf docs with explicit parent links
Workflow
- Inspect existing root instructions, docs, and ownership boundaries.
- Identify the repo's real layers before writing any new structure.
- Create or repair the docs map first.
- Add a taskBoard when the work spans multiple waves, dependencies, or validation gates.
- Write leaf docs only after the parent indexes exist.
- Keep top-down discoverability and bottom-up traceability intact.
- Validate that an agent can start at
AGENTS.md, find the next doc, and walk back.
Rules
- Treat docs as routing, not as a dumping ground.
- Keep business content out of the harness layer.
- Keep stack-specific details in repo-local adapters or references.
- Prefer repairing an existing partial harness over replacing it.
- Use root-relative links for deep cross-tree references.
- Keep
taskBoard.mdas the execution control plane underharness-engineering-plan/tasks/, not as a changelog in docs. - Separate WIP execution context (tasks/) from stable docs (docs/). Update docs only after task completion.
Reference
Read references/harness-bootstrap.md for:
- AGENTS.md section order
- docs tree templates
- taskBoard decision rules
- leaf-document link rules
- validation checklist
- bundle installation from the source GitHub repo
Demo Pack
If the target repo needs a fast bootstrap, copy the bundled demo harness from
assets/demo-harness/ into the repo root and then replace the placeholder names.
The demo pack includes:
- a root
AGENTS.md - the
docs/entry points - reference docs for architecture, interfaces, and validation
- one sample feature module
Use it as a starting shape, not as a final domain model.
Bundle Install
If the current GitHub repository is the source of truth for reusable skills, install the curated harness bundle instead of copying skills one by one.
Use this when you want a target repo to receive the same harness stack:
harness-setupharness-engineering-planprogressive-disclosure-docsproject-analysisproject-docs-workflowcodex-design-reviewcode-organization-harness
Recommended install flow:
- Clone or point at the source GitHub repository.
- Run the bundle installer in
scripts/install_harness_bundle.py. - The installer copies the source bundle into
.agents/skills/harness/*in the target repo. - Update the target repo's root
AGENTS.mdto register the installed skills.
See references/harness-bootstrap.md and assets/harness-bundle.json for the
bundle source layout and selection order.
