Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00776 | $0.00776 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00388 | $0.00388 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00155 | $0.00155 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00078 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
learn-harness-engineering CLAUDE.md 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 4d 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.

Project Overview
Learn Harness Engineering is a project-based course on building reliable coding environments for AI agents. The repo contains a VitePress documentation site plus hands-on project code.
Commands
# Documentation site
npm install
npm run docs:dev # Dev server with hot reload (VitePress)
npm run docs:build # Production build
npm run docs:preview # Preview built site
# Run lecture code examples
npx tsx docs/en/lectures/<lecture-dir>/code/<file>.ts
# Project Electron apps (from each project directory)
cd projects/project-NN/starter # or solution/
npm install
npm run dev # Build + launch Electron (via scripts/dev.js)
npm run check # Type-check both tsconfig.json and tsconfig.node.json
npm run test # Vitest run (single run)
npm run test:watch # Vitest watch mode

Architecture
The course revolves around an Electron knowledge-base desktop app that evolves across the projects:
- Main process (
src/main/): Window management, IPC handlers, service initialization - Preload (
src/preload/): contextBridge exposing typed API to renderer - Renderer (
src/renderer/): React UI with document list, Q&A panel, status bar - Services (
src/services/): DocumentService, IndexingService, QaService, PersistenceService - Shared types (
src/shared/types.ts): Cross-boundary interfaces and IPC channel constants
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.

learn-harness-engineering CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository walkinglabs/learn-harness-engineering (14,742 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 776 tokens to every session, about $0.0039 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
