Editorial and source context

What this Skill does

Agent Harness is a source-indexed Agent Skill for development & engineering work. Based on the SKILL.md description, it focuses on turn any domain folder of skills into a bounded agentic loop: compile a goal into a verifiable task…. Use the linked GitHub file to confirm scope and prerequisites before enabling it.

What the author says

Turn any domain folder of skills into a bounded agentic loop: compile a goal into a verifiable task plan, execute tasks with the domain's own tools, verify every task with machine-run checks, retry with caps, escalate to a human when budgets exhaust, and refuse to close until everything is verified or explicitly waived. Use when you want an agent or subagent to pick up a goal and drive it to a verified close across one of this repo's 18 domains ('run this goal through the engineering harness', 'set up an agentic loop for marketing work', 'make the finance domain self-verifying'). NOT for authoring Claude Code Workflow-tool .js scripts (workflow-builder), N-agent tournaments on one task (agenthub), single-file metric optimization (autoresearch-agent), or discovering published loop recipes (loop-library).

Compatibility and requirements

• Use an agent runtime that supports Agent Skills and the linked SKILL.md format.
• Confirm the source repository's tools, SDKs, and platform prerequisites for seo and content work.

How to install or import it

• Open the linked GitHub SKILL.md and review its scope and setup instructions.
• Install or import the skill using the agent runtime's documented workflow.
• Run a small, non-sensitive test and verify the output before broader use.

Permissions and risks

• Review every command, file path, network request, dependency, and credential scope before enabling it.
• GitHub stars indicate popularity, not safety or correctness; validate the source and test with non-sensitive data.

Example workflows

• Ask an AI agent to apply Agent Harness to seo and content work described in the source record.
• Have the agent state assumptions, required tools, and expected output before using this development & engineering skill.
• Compare the result with the linked GitHub SKILL.md and verify it against your project requirements.
