globus-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/globus-harness/SKILL.md

globus-harness is a skill for Claude Code from PurdueRCAC/globus-mcp. It costs 139 tokens per session (3,409 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A human-controlled tool for applying lessons from completed development work to the coding setup itself. It changes the instructions, templates, scripts, and documentation used by that setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect improvement notes, preview proposed changes, and commit approved updates to the coding harness.
Why use it?
It turns recorded workflow problems into reviewed, separate changes while keeping a person in control of what is applied.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is PurdueRCAC/globus-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on globus-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything globus-mcp configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run python .agents/factory/bin/meta_status.py spec/{slug}/META.md --status open.

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

globus-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 9d 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.

globus-harness — apply the self-improvement loop (human-gated)

When to Use

Invoke /globus-harness to turn the harness feedback the lifecycle skills logged into actual improvements to .agents/ — "a meta feature." It is the deliberate, human-gated act side of an asymmetric loop: observing friction is cheap (silence-by-default meta-notes in every skill), but acting on it is careful (fresh eyes, previewed diffs, per-finding commits, a cross-job ledger). This is meta/maintenance — NOT a lifecycle step: it does not touch product code, GOAL/PLAN/TECH/REVIEW, or the FSM; it edits the skills, templates, scripts, and docs under .agents/.

Best run after a feature has merged to main (so its META.md is on main and the fix is unentangled from code review). It can also read a still-open branch's META.md, but such pre-merge runs are preview-only (--dry-run semantics): the status flips live in a file main does not have yet, so applying waits for the merge.

Reference: methodology.md ("The self-improvement loop"), templates/META.md (the finding schema), harness-log.md (the ledger), AGENTS.md + invariants.md (what may never be weakened).

Harness portability. Runs on any harness — see factory/portability.md. Fallbacks: run the Current state commands yourself if not auto-injected; ask in plain text and STOP if AskUserQuestion is unavailable. git / uv run are portable shell.

User Instructions

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.
