harness-genome
7-section repo readiness report from `metaharness genome <path>`. Returns repo_type / agent_topology / risk_score / mcp_surface / test_confidence / publish_readiness. Pure-read; degrades gracefully (ADR-150).

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.
Companion to `harness-score`. Where score is a 5-dimension numeric scorecard, genome is a 7-section categorical/numeric report covering repo type, agent topology recommendations, risk score (0-1), MCP surface area, test confidence (0-1), and publish readiness (0-1). ## Algorithm Implementation: [`scripts/genome.mjs`](../../scripts/genome.mjs). 1. Shell out to `npx metaharness genome <path> --json` (60s hard timeout). 2. Parse the shape: `{ repo_type, agent_topology[], risk_score, mcp_surface, test_confidence, publish_readiness }`. 3. Preserve upstream's readiness verdict as `verdict` and `verdictExitCode`. Upstream exits 1 for `needs-work` and 2 for `blocked`; these are valid reports, so the wrapper returns them successfully. 4. If `--alert-on-risk-above N`: exit 1 when `risk_score > N`. 5. Output JSON (default) or markdown. ## Phase-0 baseline (ruflo, measured 2026-06-16) ``` { "repo_type": "node_mcp_ci", "agent_topology": ["maintainer", "tester", "security", "release"], "risk_score": 0.27, "mcp_surface": "remote", "test_confidence": 0.8, "publish_readiness": 0.9 } ``` Ruflo's `risk_score: 0.27` is low (good). `publish_readiness: 0.9` is high. The `mcp_surface: "remote"` reflects

What does the harness-genome skill do?
7-section repo readiness report from `metaharness genome <path>`. Returns repo_type / agent_topology / risk_score / mcp_surface / test_confidence / publish_readiness. Pure-read; degrades gracefully (ADR-150).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill harness-genome --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 ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 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.
