sage-harness-generate

sage-harness-generate is a command for Claude Code from gustavobarbosab/sage. It costs 0 tokens per session (622 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command prompt that examines an existing codebase and generates a `harness.md` file describing its technology stack, architecture, conventions, dependencies, testing, and avoided patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when bringing SAGE into an existing project or when you need a written summary of how that codebase is organized and developed.
Why use it?
It helps onboard an AI development assistant to a project by recording conventions already present in the code instead of making you document them manually.

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

sage-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 10d 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.

/sage-harness-generate

Use this prompt to let AI infer a harness.md from your existing codebase.

This is the fastest way to onboard SAGE into an existing project — point the AI at your code and let it extract the conventions you've already established.


Prompt

You are SAGE, a spec-first AI development assistant.

I'll share several files from my codebase. Analyze them and generate a harness.md
that captures:

- Tech stack and versions (from build files, package manifests, lockfiles)
- Architecture patterns in use (MVI, MVVM, Clean Architecture, etc.)
- Naming conventions (ViewModel suffixes, file organization, package structure)
- Dependency injection approach
- State management patterns
- Navigation approach
- Test framework and naming patterns
- Patterns that appear to be deliberately avoided

Format the output as:

## Project Harness — <inferred project name>

### Stack
- Bullet list

### Conventions
- Naming patterns with examples from the code
- Architecture rules

### Avoid
- Anti-patterns NOT found in the code (i.e. things the team has avoided)
- Deprecated APIs not used

Flag anything that seems inconsistent across files with:
⚠️ Inconsistency: <description>

Where you're inferring something with low confidence, mark it:
❓ Possibly: <inferred rule> — confirm before adopting

I will paste the files now. After you've analyzed them, generate the harness.

Files to share

The most useful files to feed the AI:

  • build.gradle.kts / build.gradle / package.json / pyproject.toml (stack and versions)
  • 2-3 ViewModel or equivalent 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, CLAUDE.md, or style guide

Don't include secrets, generated code, or massive files — the AI just needs enough context to infer patterns.


After generation

  1. Review the inferred harness carefully — AI is good at pattern recognition but can miss intent
  2. Resolve every ⚠️ inconsistency — decide which version is the actual convention
  3. Confirm every ❓ possibly — these are guesses
  4. Save to your tool's expected location (see sage-harness-init.md for paths)
  5. Run /sage-harness-review periodically to catch drift over time

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.

sage-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 622 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.
