About repository-harness

repository-harness Turn any software repo into an agent-ready workspace. is a repository-level operating harness for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other coding agents. It gives agents the missing project context they need before they change code: where to start, what the product contract says, how risky the work is, what proof is required, and which decisions future agents should inherit. The app is what users touch. The harness is what agents touch. Why Star This Repo Star this repo if you want practical, reusable patterns for making AI-assisted software development more reliable, inspectable, and easier for humans to steer. This project is exploring a simple idea: Coding agents do not only need better prompts. They need better repositories. The Problem Most repos are built for humans reading code in a familiar codebase. Coding agents usually enter with only a chat prompt and a shallow snapshot of files. That leads to common failure modes: The agent edits code before understanding product intent. Important constraints live only in chat history or in someone's head. Validation expectations are vague or discovered too late.
