Agent Harness

Audit and optimize your agent harness — the scaffolding that makes AI coding agents effective in your repo.

The skill I run on a repo before I trust agents to ship in it. It scores your harness — CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md structure, documentation routing, definition of done, automated verification, knowledge persistence, task hygiene — against a rubric, shows you the scorecard, then fixes what you approve. This is the difference between agents that flail and agents that operate.

  • Scores six harness dimensions against a rubric
  • Audits CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md structure + doc routing
  • Checks definition-of-done + automated verification
  • Fixes what you approve — not a lint dump
  • Ships with Rails, iOS/Swift + design-harness reference guides
