gan-style-harness

gan-style-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gongyijie85/dsh-ecc. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,890 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gan-style-harness, MIT.

A multi-agent workflow where one agent builds an application and another evaluates it, then sends feedback for improvements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build complete applications, full-stack projects, or high-quality interfaces through repeated implementation and review.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of accepting mediocre code or design when an agent judges its own work too generously.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/gan-harness.sh "Build a music streaming dashboard".

Good fit Use it to build complete applications, full-stack projects, or high-quality interfaces through repeated implementation and review.

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

gan-style-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 8d 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.

GAN-Style Harness Skill

Inspired by Anthropic's Harness Design for Long-Running Application Development (March 24, 2026)

A multi-agent harness that separates generation from evaluation, creating an adversarial feedback loop that drives quality far beyond what a single agent can achieve.

Core Insight

When asked to evaluate their own work, agents are pathological optimists — they praise mediocre output and talk themselves out of legitimate issues. But engineering a separate evaluator to be ruthlessly strict is far more tractable than teaching a generator to self-critique.

This is the same dynamic as GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks): the Generator produces, the Evaluator critiques, and that feedback drives the next iteration.

When to Use

  • Building complete applications from a one-line prompt
  • Frontend design tasks requiring high visual quality
  • Full-stack projects that need working features, not just code
  • Any task where "AI slop" aesthetics are unacceptable
  • Projects where you want to invest $50-200 for production-quality output

When NOT to Use

  • Quick single-file fixes (use standard claude -p)
  • Tasks with tight budget constraints (<$10)
  • Simple refactoring (use de-sloppify pattern instead)
  • Tasks that are already well-specified with tests (use TDD workflow)
