long-running-harness-kit
Design long-running agent harnesses with resumable checkpoints and initializer/coder handoffs. Use when tasks span multiple sessions or require recovery after interruption.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill long-running-harness-kit-aufrank-agent-skills-2 --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.
# Long Running Harness Kit ## Overview Define a minimal harness that can pause and resume safely, with clear artifacts that survive context resets. Emphasize initializer + coder roles and persistent run state. ## Quick start 1) Fill `templates/harness_plan.json`. 2) Write `progress.log` and `results.json` outside the skill directory. 3) Use the initializer to set up context; use the coder to make incremental progress. ## Core Guidance - Use two roles: initializer (setup + context) and coder (incremental tasks). - Persist state each step (progress, decisions, artifacts). - Keep tasks small; checkpoint after every meaningful change. - On resume, read artifacts first, then continue with a narrow next step. ## Resources - `references/harness-checklist.md`: Resumability and handoff checklist. - `templates/harness_plan.json`: Plan scaffold for long-running runs. ## Validation - Confirm artifacts exist and a resume step can continue from the last checkpoint.

What does the long-running-harness-kit skill do?
Design long-running agent harnesses with resumable checkpoints and initializer/coder handoffs. Use when tasks span multiple sessions or require recovery after interruption.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill long-running-harness-kit-aufrank-agent-skills-2 --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.
