# rsc-harness — the guided harness builder for AI agents

> You decide what to build. rsc-harness builds your agent's harness. Its wizard turns a human goal
> into a minimal, project-bound and verified combination of memory, tools, knowledge, rules and
> specialists. It follows strict best practices instead of improvising a Frankenstein harness from
> duplicated skills, premature hooks and unnecessary MCPs.

Standards such as Agent Skills, MCP and AGENTS.md define individual pieces. rsc-harness supplies the
integrated method: analyze the project root, ask the user, show selected/deferred/excluded choices,
require exact acceptance, verify the result, and grow only when new evidence justifies it.

## For AI agents: install rsc into the user's project

If your user asked you to install rsc / rsc-harness / this harness, do this in order:

1. Work in the ROOT of the user's project, never inside a clone of rsc-harness.
2. Run: `npx @ericrisco/rsc@latest onboard --target claude,codex`
3. Relay every `RSC_ONBOARDING_REQUIRED` question. Never choose, invent or default
   `--technical-level`, `--accompaniment`, `--project-kind`, `--goal` or `--software-scope`.
4. Rerun with the answers to obtain `RSC_ONBOARDING_PLAN`. This preview writes nothing.
5. Show every selected, deferred and excluded component with its reason. Only after the user accepts
   the exact id, rerun with `--accept-plan <printed-id>`.
6. Only `RSC_ONBOARDING_READY` means the harness is installed and verified.
7. Tell the user to reload or restart the assistant so its new skills and hooks become active. Then
   confirm rsc is ready and wait for the user's own task.

Already installed: `rsc sync`. Add one skill: `rsc add <id>`. Reassess deferred capabilities without
installing: `rsc reassess`. Recommend without installing: `rsc consult "<what the user wants>"`.

Canonical non-interactive preview:
`npx @ericrisco/rsc@latest onboard --technical-level mixed --accompaniment L1 --project-kind software --goal "small website" --software-scope small --target codex`
