SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users deploy their own copy of Open Harness, collect only the credentials they actually need, and complete first-run setup without guessing at outdated configuration steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope selection: Distinguishes between a minimal hosted deploy and the full GitHub-enabled workflow.
  • Credential guidance: Explains where to obtain Postgres, Vercel, encryption, GitHub App, Redis, and optional voice-related settings.
  • Deployment support: Walks through forking the repo, importing it into Vercel, setting environment variables, and redeploying in the right order.
  • Verification workflow: Helps confirm sign-in, app access, GitHub linking, repo installation, and sandbox startup after launch.
  • Use case: A founder wants to ship a working hosted version first, then add GitHub repo access and PR creation once the core app is live.

Quick Start

Ask for a minimal or full deployment plan for your Open Harness fork, then follow the credential checklist and Vercel setup steps for that chosen scope.
