harness-coder
Main coding agent for autonomous harness system. Continues work from previous sessions, implements one feature per session, coordinates with testing and review skills, and maintains clean handoffs via Archon. This is the workhorse of the harness system for multi-session development.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill harness-coder-housegarofalo-claude-code-base --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Harness Coding Agent Skill Autonomous coding skill for multi-session development projects. Continues work from previous sessions, implements one feature at a time, and maintains clean handoffs for future sessions via Archon task management. ## Triggers Use this skill when: - Continuing autonomous coding sessions - Implementing features in multi-session projects - Working with harness-based development - Keywords: harness, coder, coding agent, autonomous coding, session continuation, feature implementation ## Core Mission This is a continuation session in a multi-session autonomous development project. You must: 1. **Get your bearings** - Understand current state from Archon 2. **Verify existing features** - Run health checks on completed work 3. **Implement one feature** - Focus on highest priority TODO task 4. **Coordinate with skills** - Use testing and review skills 5. **Clean handoff** - Update Archon and commit for next session --- ## Session Flow ``` CODING SESSION FLOW ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ │ Orient │──>│ Verify │──>│Implement│──>│ Test & │ │ & Plan │ │ Health │ │ Feature │ │ Review │ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └────┬────┘ │ ┌────────────

What does the harness-coder skill do?
Main coding agent for autonomous harness system. Continues work from previous sessions, implements one feature per session, coordinates with testing and review skills, and maintains clean handoffs via Archon. This is the workhorse of the harness system for multi-session development.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill harness-coder-housegarofalo-claude-code-base --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
