SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Harness teams need a disciplined planning surface that converts proposals into Plans.md tasks while preserving spec integrity and synchronization with product contracts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Consolidates planning for research harness workflows into Plans.md.
  • Keeps spec.md and Plans.md in sync with multi-perspective validation and traceability.
  • Supports creation of tasks with clear DoD, dependencies, and progress markers.

Quick Start

Invoke /harness-plan create to generate Plans.md and a Spec delta from the current spec.

Frequently Asked Questions about harness-plan

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep Plans.md and spec.md in sync when adding new research tasks?

To keep Plans.md and spec.md in sync, this planning harness produces a Spec delta and validates multi-perspective alignment before tasks are added. It enforces traceability and root spec integrity during task governance.

What is the best way to define a clear Definition of Done for Plans.md tasks?

Defining a clear Definition of Done for Plans.md tasks is automated by applying risk-aware gating and generating explicit DoD for each task. This ensures dependencies and progress markers are established upfront.

Can I apply memory reuse and lint baseline checks before adding tasks to Plans.md?

Yes, you can apply memory reuse and lint baseline checks before adding tasks to Plans.md. The harness enforces these guardrails alongside code change validation and root spec alignment during task creation.

How do I start generating Plans.md and a Spec delta from current requirements?

To start generating Plans.md and a Spec delta, invoke the create command to process input requirements. This automates planning and produces actionable tasks with clear DoD for research workflows.

Does multi-perspective validation help with task governance in research harness workflows?

Multi-perspective validation directly improves task governance in research harness workflows by applying risk-aware gating before tasks are added. It ensures proposals align with the root spec and pass memory checks.

When should I not use automated planning for research harness workflows?

You should not use automated planning for research harness workflows if your proposals require lightweight, manual adjustments rather than formal Spec delta generation, risk-aware gating, and strict DoD enforcement.
