Harness Help — Command Index & Scenario Quick Reference


description: Triggered when the user says "harness help", "harness commands", "harness usage", "what commands are available", or "show harness commands". Displays the Harness command index, installed Skill inventory, and high-frequency scenario entry points.

Behavior

  1. Display Harness command index
  2. Scan ~/​.claude/​skills/ to list installed Skills by category
  3. Show high-frequency scenario → command/​Skill quick entry points

Command Index

Harness Command System:

  harness              — Project initialization (full 8-step workflow)
  harness help         — This help page (command index + scenario quick ref)
  harness audit        — Project health check (verify CLAUDE.md/​docs/​hooks/​skill completeness)
  harness quality gate — Pre-commit quality gate (tests + lint + security review + doc sync)
  harness guide        — Skill recommendation (match the best Skill for your scenario)
  harness cleanup      — Interactive temp file archive (scan → confirm → move to archive/, never deletes)
  harness resume       — Lightweight context recovery (same session after /​compact, ~3k tokens)
  harness handoff      — Deep context handoff (new agent / crash recovery, ~8k tokens)

Re-initialization

If you need to reconfigure (e.g., add Skills, update hooks):

  • Re-run harness — idempotent execution, only supplements missing parts, never overwrites existing content
