long-running-app-harness

long-running-app-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anymouschina/TapCanvas. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,502 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work process for building applications over multiple rounds, with separate planning, implementation, and review stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for autonomous app builds, contract-first implementation, multi-agent work, staged changes, and review before merging results.
Why use it?
It keeps long projects organised through written task records and clear handoffs between agents, so progress does not depend only on chat history.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

long-running-app-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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

long-running-app-harness

Use this skill when the user wants:

  • a long-running autonomous app build
  • planner / generator / evaluator style execution
  • explicit build contracts before implementation
  • skeptical QA or review loops before merging worker output
  • multi-round implementation with durable artifacts

This skill is generic. It must not assume a product-specific stack, route map, or prompt pack.

Preconditions

  • Load agents-team first. This skill relies on spawn_agent, wait, protocol_*, and agent_workspace_import.
  • Treat the persistent task graph as the durable source of truth for multi-step work.
  • Use structured artifacts, not implicit chat memory, to hand off state across rounds.
  • Prefer explicit failure when tools, runtime targets, or verification surfaces are missing.

Roles

  • orchestrator: owns the overall run, task graph, and final synthesis
  • worker: implements one bounded slice in a private workspace
  • reviewer: acts as the skeptical evaluator; read-only, threshold-based, evidence-first

Do not add extra roles unless the task genuinely needs different tool bounds.

Core Loop

  1. Create a harness run directory:
    • .agents/runtime/harness/<run-id>/
  2. Write product_spec.json
  3. For each round NN:
    • write round-NN-contract.json
    • dispatch worker
    • collect staged artifacts / code handoff
    • dispatch reviewer as evaluator
    • write round-NN-evaluation.json
    • if failed: create the next round from evaluator feedback
    • if passed: agent_workspace_import and complete the task graph
  4. Write final-report.json

Artifact Rules

Store all harness artifacts under:

  • .agents/runtime/harness/<run-id>/product_spec.json
  • .agents/runtime/harness/<run-id>/round-01-contract.json
  • .agents/runtime/harness/<run-id>/round-01-evaluation.json
  • .agents/runtime/harness/<run-id>/final-report.json

Do not hide important state only inside conversation history.

Product Spec Contract

product_spec.json should contain:

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.
