# Validation Harness Design
## Overview
Define the smallest repeatable command surface that proves repository changes are safe enough for review.
This skill turns scattered checks into commands agents can run, CI can reuse, and failures can diagnose. For shared harness terms, see `../../references/harness-patterns.md`; when validation commands are absent, use `references/build-when-missing.md`. For setup probes and CI-safe fallbacks, see `references/environment-bootstrap.md`.
## When To Use
- The user wants `check_repo_harness.py`, `doctor.py`, a test matrix, or CI gates.
- Existing validation commands are scattered and agents do not know what to run for docs-only, interface, service, logic, or runtime changes.
- JSON, JUnit, or artifact output is needed.
