SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automated quality-assurance loops that orchestrate checks and escalation to fix failures with sub-agents, reducing manual toil in CI workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runs targeted quality checks and coordinates escalation across sub-agents to fix failures.
  • Maintains a persistent history of attempts and outcomes to inform future runs and learning.
  • Provides a consistent pattern (run/fix) and a clear CLI for integrating into existing workflows.

Quick Start

Execute a harness by invoking its run target (e.g., .claude/harness/<name>/run) to start automated quality checks and escalate fixes through sub-agents.

Frequently Asked Questions about harness

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate CI quality checks and trigger sub-agent fixes for build failures?

Automated quality checks coordinate sub-agent escalation to fix build failures by running targeted checks, maintaining persistent attempt history, and applying structured remediation loops to reduce manual debugging toil in CI workflows.

What is the harness pattern for automated debugging and remediation in software pipelines?

The harness pattern enforces structured, repeatable quality-assurance loops by executing run targets, applying fix prompts, tracking escalation history, and running core quality checks to monitor builds and coordinate remediation.

How do I run an automated quality loop with escalation history for CI workflows?

Execute a harness by invoking its run target, such as the designated run script path, to start automated quality checks and escalate fixes through sub-agents while maintaining a persistent history of attempts and outcomes.

Can I integrate automated quality loops into existing software development workflows without extra dependencies?

Yes, the quality loops enforce a consistent run and fix pattern with a clear CLI, requiring no external dependencies to integrate into existing software pipelines that monitor builds and trigger sub-agent escalations.

Does the sub-agent escalation pattern maintain history across multiple quality check attempts?

Yes, the harness maintains a persistent history of sub-agent fix attempts and outcomes for each run, informing future executions and enabling learning from past remediation loops within the software pipeline.

What's the best way to reduce manual debugging toil in CI with automated fix escalations?

Orchestrating automated quality-assurance loops with sub-agent fix escalations reduces manual debugging toil by automatically running checks, coordinating targeted fixes, and tracking attempt history in a structured, repeatable pattern.
