SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the fragmentation of AI documentation in software projects by enforcing a unified structure for design, context, and implementation instructions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Project Scaffolding: Automatically generates the .docs directory structure and root context files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md) based on project type.
  • Context Management: Maintains a single source of truth for AI agents while allowing for app-specific instructions in monorepos.
  • Use Case: When starting a new project or onboarding an existing codebase, use this Skill to instantly set up the standard AI documentation harness, ensuring all team members and AI agents share the same project knowledge base.

Quick Start

Run the harness-setup skill to initialize the project documentation structure and root context files in the current directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize AI agent documentation and project context across my codebase?

To standardize AI agent documentation, you can scaffold a unified .docs directory structure and root index files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md. This establishes a single source of truth for deterministic documentation management and AI instruction delivery.

What's the best way to set up an AI context harness for a monorepo?

Setting up an AI context harness for a monorepo involves generating a unified .docs directory structure alongside root context files. This maintains a single source of truth for AI agents while allowing for app-specific instructions in multi-application environments.

Does this AI documentation scaffolding support both single-application and monorepo environments?

Yes, AI documentation scaffolding applies to both single-application and multi-application monorepo environments. It ensures consistent AI instruction delivery and enforces a separation of concerns between project source code and AI-managed artifacts.

How do I separate project source code from AI-managed artifacts?

You separate project source code from AI-managed artifacts by scaffolding a dedicated .docs directory structure and root index files. This enforces deterministic documentation management and keeps local-only inbox handling isolated from core source files.

Why do I need a unified documentation directory structure for AI agents?

A unified documentation directory structure for AI agents solves the fragmentation of design, context, and implementation instructions. It automatically generates root context files to ensure all team members and AI agents share the same project knowledge base.

Can I use harness-setup to onboard an existing codebase to standard AI context files?

Yes, you can use harness-setup to onboard an existing codebase by running it in the current directory to instantly initialize the standard AI documentation harness. This automatically generates the .docs directory structure and root context files like AGENTS.md.
