harness

harness is a plugin for Claude Code from waqas1412/claude-harness. Its manifest loads nothing; the 9 skills, 16 agents, 2 hooks it bundles cost 2,692 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of reusable tools for working with Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. It includes read-only advisor agents, task-focused commands, project setup, and checks that enforce repository rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a repository for the harness, ask for architecture, design, code-quality, performance, or documentation advice, create pull requests or tickets from project profiles, and enforce selected rules with hooks.
Why use it?
It helps keep AI-assisted development consistent by giving the assistant documented project conventions and separate roles for advice, pull requests, tickets, and reviews. Read-only advisors can inspect work without changing files.

Security

Grade A, and why

harness 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 5d 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 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.
