agent-harness

agent-harness is a skill for Claude Code from berekvolgyipeter/dotclaude. It costs 129 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for exploring agent-harness frameworks and collections of Claude Code resources. An agent harness is the surrounding system that organizes agents, tools, and workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Learning about multi-agent frameworks, finding orchestration resources, and exploring curated Claude Code collections.
Why use it?
These resources can be spread across many repositories, making it difficult to know what exists or which project fits a particular need. It uses a catalog and search to guide exploration.

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

agent-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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/clone-references.sh, scripts/clone-references/clone-affaan-m-everything-claude-code.sh, scripts/clone-references/clone-coleam00-archon.sh, …), 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.

Agent Harness

Help users discover, explore, and understand agent harness frameworks and Claude Code resource collections from curated repositories.

Catalog

The catalog at ~/.claude/skills/agent-harness/references/catalog.json lists all indexed repositories with descriptions and topics. Read it first to understand what's available and which repo is most relevant to the user's need.

Each entry has these fields: github (source repo), local_path (where it's cloned), description (what it contains), topics (keyword tags), and content_types (e.g. agents, frameworks, resources).

All repos are cloned and indexed together under a single path:

~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness/

Each repo lives at the local_path specified in the catalog (e.g., ~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness/coleam00-archon/).

Always start with semantic search — it combines semantic understanding with BM25 keyword matching, so it surfaces conceptually relevant results even when exact keywords differ. Only fall back to Grep if semantic search returns no results or the index is unavailable.

Primary — semantic search:

mcp__claude-context__search_code(
  path="~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness",
  query="<user need>"
)

Fallback — keyword search (only when semantic search fails or is unavailable):

Grep(pattern="<keyword>", path="~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness/", glob="*.md")

Browse

To list contents of a specific repo:

Glob(~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness/<repo-dir>/**/*.md)

Check for structured metadata files if present:

Glob(~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness/<repo-dir>/**/*manifest*.json)
Glob(~/.claude/skills-references/agent-harness/<repo-dir>/**/*config*.json)

Workflow

  1. Understand the need — ask clarifying questions if the user's request is vague (e.g., "agent" could mean orchestration framework, a specific Claude Code agent, or a resource collection).
  2. Catalog — read ~/.claude/skills/agent-harness/references/catalog.json to identify which repos are relevant based on descriptions and topics.
  3. Search — use semantic search to find matching content across all repos.
  4. Read before recommending — read the relevant README, docs, or source files before presenting findings. Understand what it does, what dependencies it needs, and how to use it.
  5. Present matches — show name, description, source repo, and category. When multiple options exist, compare them briefly.
  6. Guide usage — explain how to run, configure, or integrate what was found. Point to setup docs, env vars, or prerequisites as needed.

What ships with it

6 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.

agent-harness is a skill published in the GitHub repository berekvolgyipeter/dotclaude (2 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 785 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
