Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00054 | $0.02890 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00578 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00289 |
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 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.
This is a copy
81% identical to gan-style-harness — 54 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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)

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.

gan-style-harness is a skill published in the GitHub repository unrealandychan/clean-code-skill (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,890 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 81% identical to gan-style-harness, differing in 54 lines, and is treated as a copy.
