SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams find why their agent-driven development environment underperforms by auditing the existing Harness setup and pinpointing concrete failure modes in memory, rules, skills, agents, hooks, tools, and documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Seven-dimension health scoring: Produces a structured score (0–21) to show what’s missing or weak and what to fix first.
  • Failure-mode diagnostics: Checks common issues like brittle or vague CLAUDE.md rules, missing/enforced hooks, weak validation gates, and inconsistent architecture documentation.
  • Prioritized optimization plan: Converts findings into a frequency-by-severity remediation roadmap for immediate, monthly, and continuous improvements.
  • Use case: When your team has been using Claude Code for a while but the agent repeatedly forgets tests, edits protected files like .env, or violates architectural boundaries, the audit generates a plan to correct the Harness so the agent follows reliably.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to run a harness health check by saying: “Audit this project’s Harness and give me a prioritized fix plan with scores and specific failure-mode recommendations.”

Frequently Asked Questions about harness:audit

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

FAQPage Schema
Why does Claude Code repeatedly edit protected files or ignore my architecture constraints?▼

Claude Code repeatedly violates architecture constraints and edits protected files because your harness lacks enforced validation gates, weak CLAUDE.md rules, and missing hook coverage. A harness audit diagnoses these failure modes and generates a prioritized optimization plan to restore agent reliability.

How do I run a health check on my AI engineering harness?▼

Run a harness health check by scanning memory, rules, skills, agents, hooks, tools, and documentation to produce a seven-dimension health score from zero to twenty-one. This identifies concrete failure modes and outputs an actionable, prioritized optimization plan with recommended next steps for immediate fixes.

What is a harness audit for long-running agentic coding setups?▼

A harness audit evaluates long-running Claude Code setups where the agent deviates from expected workflows by applying failure-mode diagnostics to memory, rules, skills, agents, hooks, and documentation. It converts findings into a frequency-by-severity remediation roadmap for immediate, monthly, and continuous improvements.

How do I fix brittle or vague CLAUDE.md rules causing agent mistakes?▼

Fix brittle or vague CLAUDE.md rules by auditing your harness to pinpoint missing validation gates, weak architecture constraints, and inconsistent documentation. The audit produces a structured health score and actionable remediation roadmap to correct configuration and enforce agent reliability.

Does this harness audit work without external dependencies or components?▼

This harness audit works without external dependencies or components, requiring only an existing Claude Code project setup to evaluate. It scans your current project framework directly to identify missing hooks, weak validation, and brittle rules without needing additional tools installed.

When should I audit my project harness instead of rewriting my agent instructions?▼

Audit your project harness when your agent repeatedly forgets tests, edits protected files like .env, or violates architectural boundaries despite existing rules. Rewriting instructions alone misses missing enforced hooks and weak validation gates that a structured seven-dimension health score reveals.
