FAQPage Schema

How do I audit a coding agent harness for compliance issues?▼

You can audit a coding agent harness by running the validation workflow to evaluate your current workspace structure against HARNESS.md v1.0 specifications. This identifies structural deviations and provides a baseline for targeted improvements.

What is a harness change manifest and how does it improve agent performance?▼

A harness change manifest is a standardized document outlining specific structural modifications for your coding agent's environment. It systematically guides workspace improvements to resolve consistent task failures and increase agent efficiency.

How do I initialize a new agent workspace following HARNESS.md standards?▼

You can initialize a new agent workspace by triggering the dedicated initialization workflow. This automatically sets up the required directory structure and configuration files to ensure full compliance with HARNESS.md v1.0 standards from the start.

Can I verify the accuracy of harness changes after applying them?▼

Yes, you can verify the accuracy of harness changes by running the validation scripts after implementation. This checks whether the applied modifications match the predicted outcomes in your change manifest and maintain structural integrity.

Does this harness automation tool require specific Python dependencies?▼

Yes, the harness automation tool operates using Python scripts and requires specific dependencies including pypdf, pdfplumber, and pdf2image to handle document processing and validate the workspace changes.
