SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bash, git, curl, npx, node, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Harness automates the design of domain-specific agent teams and their skills, removing manual scaffolding and enabling repeatable, auditable orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design domain-specific agent teams using the 6 architectural patterns (Pipeline, Fan-out/Fan-in, Expert Pool, Producer-Reviewer, Supervisor, Hierarchical Delegation) to match task structure.
  • Auto-generate and bundle skills with progressive disclosure, including SKILL.md scaffolding and references for deep dives.
  • Produce .claude/agents/ and .claude/skills/ artifacts, plus orchestration templates and validation hooks for end-to-end workflows.
  • Provide a general orchestration framework applicable to research, coding, data pipelines, content creation, and product development, with deterministic execution and robust error handling.
  • Support validation and testing workflows (trigger evals, dry-run tests, and baseline vs with-skill comparisons) to ensure reliability.

Quick Start

Trigger harness with prompts like "build a harness for this project" to generate domain-specific agent teams and skills.

Frequently Asked Questions about harness

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design domain-specific agent teams for automated task orchestration?▼

Design domain-specific agent teams by selecting an orchestration pattern like pipeline, fan-out/fan-in, or expert pool, then auto-generating the corresponding .claude/ agents and skills artifacts with validation loops for deterministic execution.

What orchestration patterns can I use to structure multi-agent workflows?▼

Multi-agent workflows can be structured using six orchestration patterns: Pipeline, Fan-out/Fan-in, Expert Pool, Producer-Reviewer, Supervisor, and Hierarchical Delegation, each matching different task structures for reliable integration.

How do I auto-generate claude-code skills and agent definitions for a project?▼

Auto-generate claude-code skills and agent definitions by triggering the harness with a prompt like "build a harness for this project," which scaffolds SKILL.md files and references under the .claude/ directory.

Do I need bash and node installed to run agent team orchestration and skill generation?▼

Yes, bash, git, curl, npx, and node are required dependencies to execute the orchestration framework, run validation hooks, and generate the agent and skill artifacts deterministically.

How do I validate multi-agent orchestration patterns to ensure deterministic results?▼

Validate orchestration patterns by defining trigger evals, running dry-run tests, and comparing baseline versus with-skill execution to ensure deterministic results and robust error handling.

What's the best way to structure specialized agents for a data pipeline or research workflow?▼

Structure specialized agents by matching the task to an orchestration pattern like Fan-out/Fan-in for data pipelines or Expert Pool for research, then generating the bundled skills and validation hooks for end-to-end workflows.
