SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Harness Internal Developer Portal (IDP) governance and provisioning tasks are centralized by this Skill, enabling standardized service catalogs, self-service workflows, ADRs, and streamlined developer onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service Catalog Templates: standardize microservice templates with scaffolding, CI/CD, and observability.
  • Self-Service Environment Provisioning: on-demand environments with IaC, RBAC controls, and cost safeguards.
  • Service Documentation: generate catalog-info.yaml, API docs, and architecture overviews.
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADR): structure decisions and rationale.
  • Developer Onboarding: automated Day 1-Week 2 onboarding workflows with access provisioning and milestones.

Quick Start

Describe the IDP task you want to accomplish, and I will guide you through setting up templates, workflows, or ADRs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a service catalog template for developer onboarding in Harness IDP?

To create a service catalog template in Harness IDP, you define a standardized microservice template that includes scaffolding, CI/CD configurations, and observability tools. This provides a consistent foundation for onboarding developers across multiple projects.

What is the best way to automate self-service environment provisioning with RBAC controls?

The best way to automate self-service environment provisioning is by configuring on-demand workflows using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) integrated with RBAC controls and cost safeguards. This ensures secure, governed access to environments without manual intervention.

How do I generate service documentation like catalog-info.yaml and architecture overviews?

You can generate service documentation by automating the creation of catalog-info.yaml files, API documentation, and architecture overviews. This standardizes service metadata and ensures documentation is always synchronized with your service catalog.

How do I structure Architecture Decision Records (ADR) for governance workflows?

To structure Architecture Decision Records (ADR) for governance workflows, you use standardized templates to capture technical decisions and their underlying rationale. This ensures architectural choices are documented, traceable, and aligned with IDP governance policies.

Can I use this to automate Day 1 to Week 2 developer onboarding milestones?

Yes, you can automate Day 1 to Week 2 developer onboarding workflows to provision necessary access and track milestones. This streamlines the onboarding process across multiple projects by ensuring new developers complete required setup steps.

Does this work with MCP v2 for provisioning workflows and IDP governance?

Yes, IDP governance and provisioning workflows are fully compatible with MCP v2. This compatibility ensures that tasks like creating service catalogs, generating documentation, and configuring self-service environments integrate smoothly with your existing MCP v2 infrastructure.
