Harness Context
Use this skill when the user asks about Open Harness layout, lifecycle,
conventions, git workflow, or where files live.
Steps
- Read
CLAUDE.md for the orchestrator contract — what the root-level
agent does and does not do.
- For layout questions, read the per-directory
README.md files (e.g.
apps/README.md, crons/README.md, tasks/README.md,
scripts/README.md, .worktrees/README.md) and the Project Structure section of CLAUDE.md. There is no single comprehensive
tree — use the filesystem and the directory READMEs.
- Read relevant rules under
.claude/rules/:
git.md — issue / branch / commit / PR conventions
sandbox-processes.md — tmux sessions for long-running processes
directory-readme.md — when a directory needs a README
advisor-model.md — pattern for delegating to sub-agents
- Answer with
path:line citations.
Output shape
- Short factual answer first, then file references.
- Lifecycle questions (setup / validate / teardown): cite the relevant
section of
CLAUDE.md.
- Convention questions: cite the specific rule file under
.claude/rules/.
