System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the repetitive, tool-by-tool work of maintaining separate AI coding instructions, MCP server configs, and permissions by compiling everything from a single harness.yaml source of truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic cross-tool compilation: Generates native instruction files for Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot from one harness.yaml.
  • MCP server config generation: Writes .mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, and .vscode/mcp.json from the harness mcp-servers section with safe merge behavior.
  • Safe, re-compilable marker updates: Wraps all generated content in harness-managed markers to support repeat runs without clobbering manual edits.
  • Target selection & preview controls: Supports --target, --dry-run, --clean, and --verbose for controlled updates and reporting.

Quick Start

Tell the AI: compile your harness.yaml for Cursor and Claude Code by running /harness-compile --target claude-code --target cursor ./harness.yaml.
