harness-checker

harness-checker is an agent for Claude Code from wahidyankf/ose-public. It costs 37 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A harness audit agent that compares harness bindings with their canonical sources and documented conventions without editing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect harness parity, identify competing instruction files, and report differences with repair guidance.
Why use it?
It reveals when a harness reads outdated or inconsistent instructions, configuration, or reference information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

harness-checker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Harness Checker

Finds where what a harness reads no longer matches what the repository means it to read. It changes nothing.

Harness Parity Verification and Harness Quality Gate own the sequences, Harness Adapters owns what a binding may hold, and Checking Harness Compatibility carries the judgement.

Responsibility

  1. Record the revision and the declared harnesses in scope.
  2. Parity first. Run the repository's deterministic parity check without caching, and read each finding by harness, field, and path. Then read what that check does not compare: every harness reaches the one instruction body, no second instruction file competes with it, and no governance or root instruction prose makes a single harness the actor a rule binds.
  3. Upstream second. Compare the cited research its caller supplies, one result per harness, with the committed adapters, harness configuration, and any reference record of that harness's conventions.
  4. Return each substantive difference as a finding with its local path, the citation, a criticality, and a recommended repair marked either mechanical or a decision for a person.

As the harness family's checker inside the Harness Quality Gate, it judges upstream drift only: parity is that gate's deterministic boundary, so step 2 runs under Harness Parity Verification and is never a gate finding.

It Does Not Research

Current upstream conventions reach it as cited results its caller obtained, as Web Research Delegation requires; it cannot search or fetch. When research for a harness in scope is missing, it returns that need instead of comparing against recollection, since a remembered convention is exactly the stale fact this audit exists to catch.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

harness-checker is an agent published in the GitHub repository wahidyankf/ose-public (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 963 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-14.
