What it does

Agent Harness organizes multi-session development workflows: sprint planning, single-feature coding sessions, and parallel subagent orchestration. The skill documents slash-command routing and scripts to initialize projects, track features, and archive sprints so the agent can manage project state across sessions and automate routine project-maintenance tasks.

When to use it

Use when a user requests help breaking requirements into features, running sprint planning, starting a coding session that follows a one-feature-per-session protocol, or executing parallel work with subagents (the 996 pattern). Trigger phrases include: "sprint planning", "init project", "start coding session", "parallel subagents".

What's included

Scripts: The repository includes scripts for init_project, status checks, resolve_project_dir, validate_structure, and archive utilities (all callable via python3).
References: The SKILL.md points to detailed reference docs for sprint-agent, coding-agent, and 996-agent workflows.
Instructions: The skill provides explicit command syntax, project file rules (features.json, progress.md), session protocols (one feature per session), and critical rules for commits and progress logging.

Compatible agents

Best for agents that orchestrate multi-step workflows and interact with repositories and shells (Claude Code and other coding-focused agents). It is a governance/coordination skill rather than a UI component.

Audit Summary

Agent Harness is a multi-session project management framework for AI agents, providing sprint planning, coding sessions, and parallel orchestration via subcommands. Scripts are well-structured Python with argparse; only archive_sprint.py ran cleanly (no data to process), others correctly failed on missing arguments or missing project files. The release.py script uses shell=True in subprocess calls which is a minor security concern but acceptable for a CLI tool with user-supplied arguments.

Watch Out

release.py uses subprocess.run(shell=True) with string interpolation — minor shell injection surface if version strings aren't sanitized
Requires project directory with features.json/progress.md for most operations
Windows compatibility note about PYTHONIOENCODING for GBK systems

Notes

Well-designed project management skill. Clean separation of concerns with scripts/ and references/. The 996 parallel orchestration feature is unique and practical. No security concerns beyond shell=True in release.py. Scripts gracefully handle missing data states.
