Agent work, with receipts

Turn one-off agent runs into repeatable operating loops.

Harness Kit gives technical teams the primitives to plan, delegate, review, verify, and improve AI-assisted work without losing the thread.

Harness Kit in 60 seconds

Start with a messy workflow. Shape the work, send it through a provider roster, build with tests, review with independent lanes, prove it with gates, then feed the lesson back into the harness.

Quickstart

Start using Harness Kit

Install the global harness, open this companion, then use the operating loop from a real repo.

Install the harness

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/misty-step/harness-kit/master/bootstrap.sh | bash

Fresh machines can install from GitHub; local checkouts can run ./bootstrap.sh directly.

Verify discovery

ls ~/.codex/skills ~/.claude/skills ~/.pi/skills

At least one supported harness should show Harness Kit skills after bootstrap completes.

Run the first loop

/shape -> /deliver -> /ci + /qa -> /reflect

Start with a real workflow or repo change; keep evidence and roster receipts attached to the work.

Sources: bootstrap.sh, skills/shape/SKILL.md, skills/deliver/SKILL.md

Find the right primitive

Start from the job you need done. Each path links to a generated source-backed reference page.

What it is, and what it is not

Harness Kit is implementation infrastructure for technical operators. It is not an admin dashboard, procurement packet, spend-governance product, or executive training surface.

What is still moving

The site is generated from live repo sources, including open backlog, so readers can see the operating system and its active edges together.
