What it does
Initialize a Harness Engineering framework in the current project. Use when user says 'harness', 'init harness', 'initialize framework', 'setup harness engineering', '/harness', or wants to set up a Plan-Build-Verify development workflow with specialized agents (planner, generator, evaluator). Creates CLAUDE.md, agent definitions, command templates, hooks, and documentation structure for autonomous AI-driven development.
Harness Engineering Framework
One-click initialization of a complete Harness Engineering framework in any project directory.
Based on insights from OpenAI (Codex), Anthropic (3-agent GAN architecture), and LangChain (self-verify loops), this skill sets up:
- 3-agent architecture: Planner (spec), Generator (build), Evaluator (test)
- Sprint contracts: Machine-verifiable "done" criteria before coding
- Quality hooks: Loop detection, pre-completion checklist, context injection
- Slash commands:
/plan,/build,/qa,/sprint - Golden principles: 10 non-negotiable rules enforced across all agents
When to Use
- Starting a new project and want structured AI-assisted development
- Want to set up Plan-Build-Verify-Fix workflow in current project
- User says "harness", "init harness", "setup framework", or similar
Initialization Process
Step 1: Gather Project Info
Before generating files, ask the user:
- Project name (or detect from current directory name)
- Tech stack (optional, e.g. "React + Node.js", "Python FastAPI", "Go microservice")
- Project type (web app, API service, CLI tool, library, etc.)
If the user provides a description with /harness <description>, extract the info from context.
Step 2: Generate Framework Files
Execute the scaffold script:
python3 {{SKILL_PATH}}/scripts/scaffold.py --project-name "<PROJECT_NAME>" --tech-stack "<TECH_STACK>" --project-type "<PROJECT_TYPE>" --target-dir "<CURRENT_PROJECT_DIR>"
This generates the following structure in the current project:
