claude-code-harness
Design a real harness for an agentic system using Claude Code-inspired patterns. Use when the user needs a harness blueprint, request assembly design, execution loop, tool runtime, memory layering, permission model, transcript or recovery strategy, or wants to turn a vague agent idea into a harness-level architecture. Do not use for generic product brainstorming, simple prompt writing, or isolated code generation.

# Claude Code Harness
Design the harness, not just the agent prompt.
This skill helps turn an agent idea into a harness blueprint that specifies:
- how a turn is assembled
- how the execution loop runs
- how tools are governed
- how memory survives boundaries
- how permissions and recovery are enforced
- how the system stays understandable to humans
