harness-sdlc

What problem does it solve?

Projects often lack consistent, automated software development lifecycle practices which leads to brittle builds, failed runtime startups, database migration issues, and inconsistent evaluation across sprints; this skill provides structured methodology and verification steps to prevent those failures and raise sprint quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Methodology selection: Choose Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, Lean and map harness sprint boundaries accordingly.
• Testing strategy & framework detection: Auto-detect test frameworks (Jest, pytest, go test, cargo test, JUnit, Playwright, Cypress) and run unit, integration, E2E, smoke, security, and regression suites with recommended coverage targets.
• Build and runtime verification: Install deps, run builds, perform ORM migrations, start dev servers, run health and API smoke checks, and fail sprints that do not pass runtime verification.
• Evaluation anchors & sprint contracts: Score product_depth, functionality, visual_design, and code_quality with pre-built checklists for API, UI, database, and infrastructure features.

Quick Start

Use the harness-sdlc skill by activating the software domain profile in your spec and running a harness sprint with build and runtime verification enabled.
