| description | Implement OpenAI Harness Engineering practices in any repository — AGENTS.md, PLANS.md, deterministic smoke/test/lint harness commands, strict architecture boundaries, observability from day 1, and entropy-control audits for reliable autonomous agent runs. |
A skills.sh-compatible skill that operationalizes the practices from OpenAI's Harness Engineering guide. Use it to set up or refactor agent-first workflows so that autonomous runs are repeatable, observable, and safe.

AGENTS.md, PLANS.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/OBSERVABILITY.md, Makefile.harness, and CI workflows.make smoke, make check, make ci so agents can run them reliably.audit — treat any MISSING or FAIL as blocking.# Interactive wizard (recommended)

| Profile | Scope |
|---|---|
baseline | Core harness artifacts only |
control | Baseline + control-system primitives |
full | Control + entropy controls, nightly audit, CI |
