repo-harness-check

repo-harness-check is a skill for Claude Code from Ancienttwo/repo-harness. It costs 36 tokens per session (874 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-readiness check for projects that use a shared harness to test workflows, migrations, and release steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify a repository's required tests, agent tooling, migration dry-runs, and release evidence.
Why use it?
It gathers the required checks and reports missing or failing prerequisites before a merge or release. It also distinguishes blocking failures from warnings.

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

repo-harness-check 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

repo-harness-check

Use this command when the user asks whether the harness, migration, or release surface is ready.

Protocol

  1. Confirm the repo path and report dirty-worktree boundaries.
  2. Read the canonical required-check list from the target repo's root agent context (CLAUDE.md for Claude, AGENTS.md for Codex) ## Required Checks section, then apply its scope conditions and run the applicable commands through the global/package helper runtime. This self-host source repo may also use root scripts/ for source-only maintenance commands. Use focused checks by default; a conditional full-suite command is not an unconditional requirement. Consume current canonical acceptance evidence for already-satisfied expensive criteria. After a bounded follow-up edit, have the parent retain the baseline full-run identity and revise final criteria to focused delta checks when no explicit full-suite requirement or uncovered integration risk remains; never relabel a baseline pass as current-subject full evidence. If ## Required Checks is missing or empty, report that as the first blocking finding instead of substituting a default list.
  3. Run advisory readiness when available:
    • repo-harness run check-agent-tooling --host both --json
  4. Treat missing CodeGraph or missing Codex health/check/mermaid as hard failures.
  5. Treat Waza staging drift as a yellow readiness flag; report the fix or acceptance reason without failing the repo gate.
  6. Report skill eval authority when release/readiness evidence depends on skill effectiveness:
    • authoritative: non-dry-run bun run benchmark:skills --eval <slug> with full_test_count > 0, dry_run_ratio <= 30%, and graders reported
    • non-authoritative: dry-run-heavy or all-dry-run evidence
    • unavailable: no current eval evidence; report the benchmark command needed
  7. Summarize pass/fail evidence, yellow flags, eval authority metrics, and the next blocking command if any.

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.
