harness-e2e-check

harness-e2e-check is a skill for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 137 tokens per session (1,947 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A live end-to-end check of an agent development team's own testing and workflow mechanisms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to exercise failure routing, dead-end detection, evidence collection, rollback rules, and related harness behavior in temporary test projects.
Why use it?
It reveals failures that isolated tests may miss when several checks and safeguards work together.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

harness-e2e-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/make_lesson_fixtures.py, scripts/make_toy_repo.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Harness E2E Check

Role: worker. This command drives real, live exercises of the harness's own mechanisms in throwaway scratch fixtures and reports pass/fail with evidence — it does not modify the plugin, and it is not a substitute for /agent-eval (per-agent detection accuracy) or /harness-audit (usage-metrics-driven staleness analysis). It exists because those mechanisms only prove themselves working together, in a live run, not from each one's own isolated unit tests.

Worker constraints

  1. Read-only against the plugin itself. All exercises run inside scratch directories (a fresh mktemp -d per item, or the caller's --output sibling) — never inside the plugin's own working tree.
  2. Live, not simulated. Where a mechanism can be exercised without an LLM call (guard hooks, lesson_validate.py, structural gates, stale-reference scans), run the real script/hook against a real fixture — never hand-wave "this should work." Where a mechanism genuinely requires a live /build run (Steps 3-4 below), drive it for real via /headless-run or an equivalent live session — do not substitute a description of what a run would show.
  3. Be concise. Report each item as one line (pass/fail + one-line evidence pointer), then a short summary. Full transcripts/output go to the scratch dir, not chat.
  4. Every run maintains references/watchlist.md. See "Hardening over time" below — this is not optional bookkeeping, it's the point of running this repeatedly instead of once.

Parse Arguments

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

  • No argument: run all 8 items below.
  • --item N: run only item N (1-6).
  • --output <path>: write the full report to a specific path. Default: .dev-team-reports/harness-e2e-check-<date>.md.

The 8 items

Each item mirrors one from issue #907's original test plan. Item numbers are stable — do not renumber even if an item is skipped or split.

Item 1 — Full automated suite

Run the repo's actual CI-equivalent gate (scripts/ci-local.sh, or the component pytest suites directly: plugins/dev-team/tests, tests/repo, tests/agents, tests/commands, tests/scripts, tests/hooks). Zero regressions is the bar — a red suite is a fail for this item, full stop.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

harness-e2e-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (295 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 137 tokens to every session and 1,947 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
