Automated quality check loops with escalation and fix sub-agents

Full skill instructions

Harness

Automated fix loops. Each harness runs a make target, spawns sub-agents to fix failures, commits on success, reverts on exhaustion.

Pattern: .claude/​harness/<name>/​run + fix.prompt.md

Escalation: sonnet:think → opus:think → opus:ultrathink

History: Each harness maintains history.md for cross-attempt learning. Truncated per-file, accumulates across escalation. Agents append summaries after each attempt so higher-level models can avoid repeating failed approaches.

CLI: .claude/​scripts/​check-<name> symlinks to harness run scripts

Commands: /​check-<name> runs the corresponding harness with --no-spinner

Quality: quality/​run orchestrates all harnesses in sequence until stable

Running check-* Skills

When invoking check-* skills via Bash:

  • Timeout: Use 60 minute timeout (timeout: 3600000)
  • Foreground: Always run in foreground (never use run_in_background)
  • Blocking: No output until completion—do not tail or monitor, just wait
  • Output format: Structured JSON: {"ok": true/​false, "items": [...]}
