n-agentic-harnesses

What problem does it solve?

Agentic harnesses are often underdefined, with unclear tool boundaries, missing permission controls, and weak evaluation, which leads to brittle behavior and hidden risks in AI systems. This skill provides a lean, auditable set of primitives, explicit boundaries, and a plan for phased implementation and testing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Primitives and boundaries: defines the core building blocks for a safe harness.
• Evaluation-first design: prescribes an evaluation plan before building.
• Solo-dev friendly: emphasizes a lean architecture suitable for one developer.
• Phase-driven rollout: guides phased implementation with MVP boundaries and acceptance criteria.
• Use cases include chat assistants, code agents, and workflow orchestrators to illustrate safe harness design.
