SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Minimal harness starter that provides a reproducible, end-to-end template for generating a single artifact, enabling quick validation of workspace policy and artifact delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

Declares a single primary artifact and a deterministic tool to produce one deliverable.
Demonstrates how to integrate workspace policy, plugin manifest, and artifact glob patterns.
Serves as a starting point for building more complex harnessed apps with defined deliverables.

Quick Start

Run the harness starter with a label to generate a single artifact file at output/artifact-<slug>.txt.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a single deterministic artifact for testing workspace policy resolution?▼

To generate a single deterministic artifact for testing workspace policy, use a minimal harness starter that slugifies a provided label and outputs a verifiable deliverable file. It enforces a primary artifact glob to validate end-to-end delivery paths.

What is a harness starter used for in prototyping and automation workflows?▼

A harness starter is a reproducible template used in prototyping and automation workflows to validate workspace policy and artifact delivery. It declares a single primary artifact and demonstrates plugin manifest integration for building complex harnessed apps.

How do I create a slugified artifact file from a text label?▼

You create a slugified artifact file by running the harness starter with a text label. It deterministically transforms the label into a slug and generates the deliverable at output/artifact-<slug>.txt, providing a straightforward verifiable delivery path.

Can I use this minimal harness starter to validate plugin manifest and artifact glob patterns?▼

Yes, you can use this minimal harness starter to validate plugin manifest and artifact glob patterns. It demonstrates how to integrate workspace policy with glob patterns to ensure reproducible end-to-end artifact delivery within the workspace.

Does the harness starter support generating multiple deliverables in a single run?▼

No, the harness starter does not support generating multiple deliverables in a single run. It is a minimal template designed to produce a single deterministic artifact, serving as a starting point for building more complex harnessed apps.
