💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill evaluates the harnessability of a codebase, ensuring it is ready to be operated by AI coding agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

Composite Metric: Measures readiness across type coverage, test coverage, architecture fitness, and documentation coverage.
Phases: Run during VALIDATE and REVIEW phases.
Use Case: Before marking a sprint or epic done, run this Skill to confirm agent-readiness did not regress.

Quick Start

Run the harnessability scan with npm run harness:scan.

Frequently Asked Questions about harness-engineering

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I assess if my codebase is ready for AI coding agents?▼

You can assess codebase readiness for AI coding agents by running a harnessability scan that measures type coverage, test coverage, architecture fitness, and documentation coverage to validate operational readiness.

What does codebase harnessability mean for AI coding agents?▼

Codebase harnessability for AI coding agents is a composite metric indicating whether the environment has sufficient type coverage, test coverage, architecture fitness, and documentation coverage to be safely operated by automated agents.

Do I need a TypeScript environment to run a codebase harnessability scan?▼

Yes, you need a TypeScript environment and npm installed to run the codebase harnessability scan, as the Skill requires npm to execute its validation scripts during the review phase.

When should I run an AI agent readiness assessment in my development workflow?▼

You should run an AI agent readiness assessment during the validation and review phases, specifically before marking a sprint or epic done to confirm that codebase harnessability did not regress.

How do I execute a harnessability check using npm?▼

To execute a harnessability check using npm, run the command `npm run harness:scan` in your terminal to evaluate the codebase against type, test, architecture, and documentation coverage metrics.

What's the best way to prevent AI coding agent readiness regression?▼

The best way to prevent AI coding agent readiness regression is to integrate a harnessability scan into your validation and review phases to continuously track type, test, architecture, and documentation coverage before closing sprints.
