Keeps the project harness organized on every change. Use whenever you are about to create, move, rename or update documentation, notes, decisions, plans, rules, skills, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md or GEMINI.md, when you finish a feature or plan, or when a harness hook or lint reports a problem. Use it even if the user did not mention documentation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Harness keeper

The project was organized so agents load little by default and find the rest on demand.
Your job is to keep it that way. Every piece of information has exactly one home.

## Before writing anything

1. Read `.harness/PLACEMENT.md`. It says where each kind of information goes.
2. Open the docs index (path in `.harness/config.json`, usually `docs/index.md`) and check whether a doc on this subject already exists. Prefer updating it over creating a new one.
3. If nothing in the placement map fits, ask the user instead of inventing a new folder.

## While writing

- Docs need frontmatter: `description` (one line), `read_when`, `status`, `updated` (YYYY-MM-DD).
- Always-on files (`AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, unscoped rules) stay small and stable. No dates, status or current-work notes there: that content goes in `docs/plans/` or `docs/log.md`. Stable content also keeps the prompt prefix cacheable.
- Scoped rules and skills are edited only in `.harness/rules/` and `.harness/skills/`. Files in `.claude/`, `.cursor/rules/` and `.agents/skills/` marked as generated are copies.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fmslutions/harness-audit/harness-keeper@sha256:33029a62f1ab2f99

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
