harness-generate

harness-generate is a command for Claude Code from gustavobarbosab/sage. It costs 0 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that studies files from an existing codebase and writes a `.sage/harness.md` guide describing its tools, structure, naming habits and testing style. It marks uncertain conclusions and inconsistencies for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Sharing selected build, architecture, user-interface, dependency-injection and test files, then documenting the project conventions they reveal.
Why use it?
It gives an unfamiliar coding assistant a written picture of how the project is built and maintained. This reduces guesswork when making later changes.

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-generate 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

/sage harness generate

Infers .sage/harness.md by analyzing existing codebase files.

Instructions

Ask the user to share files from their codebase. Suggest the most useful ones:

"Please share some files so I can infer your project conventions. The most useful are:

  • build.gradle.kts / package.json / pyproject.toml (stack and versions)
  • 2–3 ViewModel or state-holding classes (architecture patterns)
  • 2–3 UI files / screens / components (UI conventions)
  • 1–2 DI modules (injection approach)
  • 1–2 test files (test conventions)
  • Any existing .editorconfig, .cursorrules, or CLAUDE.md"

Once files are provided, analyze them and generate .sage/harness.md:

## Project Harness — <inferred project name>

### Stack
- <inferred stack items with versions>

### Conventions
- <naming patterns with examples from the code>
- <architecture rules>

### Avoid
- <patterns NOT found in the code — things deliberately avoided>

Flags to include

Mark inferences with low confidence:

❓ Possibly: <inferred rule> — confirm before adopting

Mark inconsistencies found across files:

⚠️ Inconsistency: <description> — which version is correct?

Rules

  • Only infer what the code actually shows — don't invent conventions
  • The "Avoid" section will be sparse on first generation — that's expected
  • Always flag ❓ and ⚠️ items for the user to resolve before committing

After generation

Tell the user: "Harness drafted at .sage/harness.md. Review every ❓ and ⚠️ item before committing. Run /sage harness review after any major refactor to keep it accurate."

Changes

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-generate is a command published in the GitHub repository gustavobarbosab/sage (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 403 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
