Harness Template Pack

A repository-ready template pack for using a planner / generator / evaluator harness in backend, web, and fullstack projects.

What is included

• .harness/: runtime memory, schemas, sprint contracts, reports
• .agents/: role prompts and boundaries
• .skills/: reusable operating rules
• .commands/: orchestration entry prompts
• scripts/: bootstrap and validation helpers
• docs/: architecture and best-practice notes
• apps/web/: suggested web app layout
• apps/backend/: suggested backend service layout
• tests/: shared test layers
• ci/: starter CI and quality gate files

Suggested usage

1. Copy the whole template into a repo.
2. Edit .harness/project.json to match your stack and target.
3. Fill spec.md, feature_list.json, and sprint_plan.json.
4. Use .commands/start-harness.md as the orchestration entry.
5. Enforce the JSON schemas in .harness/schemas/ through CI.
6. Keep run_state.json and progress.md updated on every transition.

Minimal startup path

• Planning: .commands/plan-project.md
• Sprint delivery: .commands/run-sprint.md
• Evaluation: .commands/evaluate-sprint.md
• Closeout: .commands/close-project.md

Runtime invariants

• .harness/feature_list.json is the only source of truth for feature completion.
• All critical steps must run serially.
• No sprint may advance before evaluator approval.
• The project is only complete when all features have passes=true.
