harness:status

A progress report for an automated improvement process that repeatedly tests and evolves a project. It shows scores, versions, iteration counts, and whether recent results have stopped improving.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking evolution progress, finding the best version, counting iterations, reviewing score trends, and spotting stalled or worsening results.
Why use it?
It helps identify stagnation or regression instead of relying on a single score or manually comparing past runs.

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:status 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 2d 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:status

Show current evolution progress.

What To Do

Resolve Tool Path

TOOLS="${EVOLVER_TOOLS:-$([ -d ".evolver/tools" ] && echo ".evolver/tools" || echo "$HOME/.evolver/tools")}"
EVOLVER_PY="${EVOLVER_PY:-$([ -f "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" ] && echo "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" || echo "python3")}"

Display Chart

$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/evolution_chart.py --config .evolver.json

Additional Analysis

After displaying the chart:

  • Detect stagnation: if last 3 scores within 1% of each other, warn and suggest /harness:evolve with architect trigger.
  • Detect regression: if current best is lower than a previous best, warn.
  • Print LangSmith experiment URL for the best experiment if available.
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.
