example-harness

example-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ruvnet/metaharness. It costs 90 tokens per session (816 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shortcut for generating ready-made AI assistant setups from published npm packages, the JavaScript package registry. It maps a use case directly to a host integration or subject-specific package.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold setups for hosts such as Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or GitHub Actions, and areas such as DevOps, research, trading, support, or legal work.
Why use it?
It removes the need to choose template and host options manually when a suitable prepared package already exists.

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

example-harness scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

example-harness

One-command scaffolding from the 18 published @metaharness/* example packages — the fastest path from a use-case to a working harness, no template/host flags to remember.

Where create-harness walks the full wizard, this skill maps a use-case straight onto a published npm wrapper. Each wrapper shells out to metaharness@latest with the correct --template + --host flags, so the result is byte-identical to the full CLI invocation.

Install

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/example-harness
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ruvnet/agent-harness-generator/main/.codex/skills/example-harness/skill.toml \
  -o ~/.codex/skills/example-harness/skill.toml

No MCP server needed — the wrapper packages run via npx.

Use

/example-harness

Codex prompts for the package + a directory name, then runs:

npx --yes @metaharness/<package>@latest <name>

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.
