Orient a non-coder to this project's Agentsmith harness — fires on "what is this harness?", "what are my rules?", "which profile am I on?", "what do I type next?". Part of the Agentsmith harness; reads the canonical instructions and selected agent's safety configuration, then reports the profile, rules, safety mode, and next step in plain language.

# Harness help — get oriented Explain, in plain language with no jargon, what this harness does for the operator and what to do next. This is the non-coder's front door. ## When this fires "what is this harness / what does it do?" / "what are my rules?" / "which profile am I on?" / "what do I type next?" / a general "help me get started here". ## Identify the target Use the agent named by the operator or the explicit `AGENTSMITH_AGENT` value. Never infer the active agent from this skill's install path: portable canonical content may be copied into a required client adapter such as `.claude/skills`. Without a declared agent, explain the common rules and label agent-specific safety configuration as unknown. ## What to do (no script needed) Read the canonical managed block in `AGENTS.md` and report: 1. **Active profile(s)** — the work-type this project is tuned for (from the profile section). 2. **Your rules, in 3–5 bullets** — the load-bearing ones (verify before done, protected main, look before you delete, be honest about what failed). Summarize; don't dump the file. 3. **Safety mode** — when an agent is declared, read its managed native configuration and explain the effective approval and sandbox settings. Otherwise say that client-specific safety was not identified. 4. **What to type next** — take one small task end to end. Say “verify” or “handoff”; mention an invocation prefix only when the declared client documents one. Point to `docs/01-harness-philosop...

harness-eng

Use when designing, evaluating, or simplifying an agent project harness: AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md rules, startup scripts, progress logs, feature trackers, handoffs, evaluator rubrics, quality documents, repo-local knowledge maps, and mechanical guardrails for coding agents. Especially useful when converting raw agent-workflow notes into a concise, verifiable project control layer.

harness-engineering

Principles and judgment for designing an "agent harness" — the repo-level scaffolding (docs, feedback loops, constraints, memory, review gates) that lets AI coding agents work reliably and autonomously on a codebase. Use this whenever the user asks to make a repo more agent-friendly, set up or audit AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, improve how well Claude Code (or another agent) performs on their project, design feedback loops or verification gates for agents, decide what should go in project docs vs skills vs memory, or is generally trying to get better/more reliable results from AI coding agents on a specific codebase. Do not treat this as a rigid setup script — apply the principles to the specific project's language, size, team, and risk profile, and recommend only what that project actually needs.

harness-doctor

Check whether this project's Agentsmith harness is installed correctly and healthy — fires on "is my harness set up right?", "harness doctor", "check my harness". Part of the Agentsmith harness; checks each selected agent's managed rules, settings, skills, hooks, verification, and leanness with a one-line fix for each finding.
