Installation

# Install the harness plugin globally
claude plugin add /path/to/marketplace/harness

# Or from the marketplace registry
claude plugin add makers-and-breakers/harness

Skills

Skills are invocable steps in a skillflow. Each skill defines what Claude does during that step.

Operator-facing skills

These are available in the skillflow picker:

Skill Command Description
Shape /harness:shape Explore a fuzzy idea against the codebase. Conversational feasibility assessment.
Brief /harness:brief Write a structured one-pager — goals, scope, risks, non-goals. Fire-and-forget.
Ground /harness:ground Turn a brief into a buildable spec rooted in the codebase — APIs, data shapes, edge cases.
Design /harness:design Visual mockup (HTML/Tailwind) of a UI surface. Produces variant artifacts.
Prototype /harness:prototype Standalone HTML demo proving a concept before integration.
Iterate /harness:iterate Plan + Build + Review on the connected repo. Creates a feature branch with commits.
Report /harness:report Structured status or summary document.
Push /harness:push Push the current feature branch and optionally open a PR.

Internal phase skills

These are spawned by the iterate orchestrator and are not directly invocable:

Skill Phase of
iterate-plan Iterate — planning phase
iterate-work Iterate — build phase
iterate-review Iterate — review phase
iterate-summary Iterate — summary artifact
compound-skillflow Post-completion learning extraction

Utility skills

Skill Command Description
Init /harness:init Initialize a new project with harness configuration.
Skillflow /harness:skillflow Start a new skillflow from the CLI.
Mission /harness:mission Start a new mission from the CLI.
Identity (Operator) /harness:identity-operator Define the operator identity for the project.
Identity (Company) /harness:identity-company Define the company identity.
Identity (Brand) /harness:identity-brand Define the brand identity.

Agents

Agents are autonomous workers dispatched by the orchestrator.

Agent Model Description
Mission Lead Opus Orchestrates mission execution — reads the task DAG, coordinates workers, manages lifecycle.
Mission Worker Executes a single mission task in an isolated worktree.
Skillflow Runner Runs interactive skillflow steps with all harness skills preloaded.
App Builder Builds internal tools for the Builder module (Next.js + Tailwind + TypeScript).
App Reviewer Reviews generated app code for security, correctness, and quality. Read-only.
Harness Reviewer Reviews completed task output against requirements and project conventions.

Creating a new skill

  1. Create a directory under marketplace/harness/skills/<name>/
  2. Add a SKILL.md with frontmatter:
---
name: my-skill
description: Use when the user says "/harness:my-skill" or wants to ...
---

Instructions for Claude when this skill runs.
  1. Bump the version in harness/.claude-plugin/plugin.json and marketplace.json

Creating a new agent

  1. Add a .md file under marketplace/harness/agents/
  2. Include frontmatter with name, description, and optionally model and color
  3. The agent body contains the system prompt

Publishing

After making changes:

  1. Bump version in both marketplace/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json and marketplace/harness/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
  2. Commit and push
  3. Users update via claude plugin update harness
