Individual skill

harness-design

Design a scoped multi-agent harness for a requested long-running AI workflow. Preserve the user-approved product boundary while using Generator-Evaluator separation, testable sprint contracts, context management, and task-appropriate validation. Based on Anthropic Engineering patterns. Use when: "build a harness", "multi-agent architecture", "agent orchestration", "generator-evaluator", "long-running app", "harness design", "agent pipeline", "quality evaluation loop", "sprint contract", "build app with agents", "Claude Agent SDK architecture", or when building complex full-stack apps that need planning → generation → evaluation cycles. Also use when discussing context degradation, self-evaluation bias, or assumption testing in AI workflows. Do NOT use to stress-test or critique an already-written plan document; use plan-swarm-review for that (this skill designs the harness, it does not review plans).
