Harness Update
Pull latest skills from the claude-harness repo and deploy full skill directories
to Claude Code and Codex.
Rules
- Do not sync only
SKILL.md; copy each full skill directory so scripts, evals,
templates, references, and agents metadata stay usable.
- Do not delete unrelated local skills from
~/.claude/skills or
~/.codex/skills.
- Do not replace full skill directories with link-only entries.
- Rebuild the skills-index compiled cache after syncing when the local
skills-index package is available.
- Verify representative skills before claiming the update is complete.
Steps
- Pull latest from claude-harness:
cd ~/claude-harness && git pull origin main
- Sync full skill directories to Claude Code and Codex:
for skill_dir in ~/claude-harness/skills/*; do
[ -d "$skill_dir" ] || continue
name=$(basename "$skill_dir")
case "$name" in
*-workspace) continue ;;
esac
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/"$name" ~/.codex/skills/"$name"
rsync -a --delete --exclude='node_modules/' --exclude='__pycache__/' "$skill_dir"/ ~/.claude/skills/"$name"/
rsync -a --delete --exclude='node_modules/' --exclude='__pycache__/' "$skill_dir"/ ~/.codex/skills/"$name"/
done
- Rebuild the skills index if available:
if [ -d ~/claude-harness/skills-index ]; then
cd ~/claude-harness/skills-index
npm rebuild better-sqlite3 sqlite-vec >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
npm run index -- --repo-root "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$PWD}" || true
fi
- Verify representative transferred skills:
python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py ~/.claude/skills/diagnose
python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py ~/.codex/skills/diagnostic-cohort
python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py ~/.codex/skills/zoom-out
- Report what was updated:
echo "Claude skills: $(ls ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
echo "Codex skills: $(ls ~/.codex/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
echo "Harness version: $(cd ~/claude-harness && git describe --tags --always)"
Print the count and version to the user. Done.
