Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00043 | $0.00256 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00102 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00051 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
harness-adopt 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.
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.
What it actually says
Harness Adopt
Apply harness engineering to the current target repository.
Steps
- Read
../../references/package-contract.md. - Read
../../references/adopt-workflow.md. - If
./harness-starter-kit/docs/adoption-workflow.mdexists in the target, prefer that canonical workflow. - Inspect the target repository before editing.
- Add or update only the smallest useful harness artifacts that fit the target's existing architecture, tools, docs, commands, and conventions.
- Run relevant local checks.
- Finish with an adoption report, including task outcome evidence status for substantial harness work.
Boundaries
- Do not blindly copy templates.
- Do not replace existing target docs or config wholesale.
- Do not add CI, pre-commit hooks, dependencies, or package scripts unless they match the target's existing workflow.
- Treat a nested
./harness-starter-kitclone as read-only reference material.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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-adopt is a skill published in the GitHub repository harnessworks/harness-starter-kit (115 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 256 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
