port-agent-config

port-agent-config is a cursor rule for Cursor from andr-ca/agentharness. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,106 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for moving coding-agent instructions, skills, or custom sub-agents from one coding tool to another. It covers targets such as Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when porting agent configuration between coding assistants or adding equivalent support for another tool.
Why use it?
It helps preserve existing project guidance when changing tools and avoids manually creating files that can drift out of sync.

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.

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

port-agent-config 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 1mo 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.

Port Agent Config

Move a project's agent instructions and skills to work with a different coding tool, without breaking what already works for the current one. Two situations, two procedures — check which one applies before doing anything.

Step 0: which situation is this?

Look for a reachable agentharness checkout with tools/generate-*.sh in it:

  • This repo itself (agentharness) — the scripts are right here.
  • A consumer project where harness-link.sh init ran: readlink a .claude/skills/* entry to find the harness's real path, or look for an agentharness/ submodule, or a durable npm-mode copy.

Found one → Section A. Not found → Section B.

Section A — agentharness-linked: use the real generators

Don't hand-write the target file. Each generator already reuses the exact same source (CLAUDE.md + the skill catalog), is CI-drift-checked against its committed output, and carries the correct caveats — reconstructing its shape by hand is strictly worse and will drift the next time CLAUDE.md changes.

Target tool Generator Produces
Codex CLI tools/generate-agents-md.sh --output AGENTS.md AGENTS.md
Gemini CLI / Antigravity tools/generate-gemini-md.sh --output GEMINI.md GEMINI.md
GitHub Copilot tools/generate-copilot-instructions.sh --output-dir . .github/copilot-instructions.md + .github/instructions/*.instructions.md
Kilo Code tools/generate-kilo-rules.sh --output .kilo/rules/agentharness.md .kilo/rules/agentharness.md
Cursor tools/generate-cursor-rules.sh --output-dir . .cursor/rules/agentharness-router.mdc + one .mdc per skill
OpenCode / Zed nothing to generate — both read AGENTS.md directly —
Claude Code nothing to generate — CLAUDE.md is the hand-authored source —

Steps:

  1. Run the matching command against the target project (see each script's own --help, or docs/INTEGRATION.md's per-platform section when the harness checkout and the target project aren't the same directory).
  2. Re-run the project's own content-quality check (tools/verify-content-quality.py here; the consumer's equivalent elsewhere) to confirm the new file isn't silently broken.
  3. Tell the user this is a manual step, not auto-wired into init/update (ROADMAP.md's P1-01) — they'll need to re-run it whenever CLAUDE.md or the skill catalog changes.
  4. Keep the same caveat every generated file already states: not verified against a live session of the target tool.

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.
