{harness-creator}
Build, audit, and improve harnesses that make AI coding agents reliable: AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md instruction files, feature/state tracking, verification gates, scope boundaries, session handoff, memory persistence, context budgets, tool-permission safety, and multi-agent coordination. Use this whenever a coding agent is unreliable across sessions — forgets context, drifts out of scope, claims "done" before tests pass, or starts each session inconsistently — or when creating or assessing AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, feature_list.json, init.sh, progress.md, or session-handoff files. Reach for it even if the user never says the word "harness."

| Gen Agent Trust Hub | pass | SAFE | The skill is a developer utility designed to scaffold and audit 'harnesses' (instructions and state files) for AI coding agents. It generates project configuration files and scripts like `init.sh` to improve agent reliability across sessions. The analysis found no malicious patterns, data exfiltration, or obfuscation. | 2026-09-14 |

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
