Install the portable AI-dev harness, rebuild its operational graph standalone, harvest project skill improvements into its canonical templates, package direct canonical edits into a portable bundle, or apply canonical updates to an existing project. Use /harness-bootstrap launch, /harness-bootstrap reindex-graph, or /harness-bootstrap patch harvest|prepare|apply.

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.

# Harness bootstrap

# SKILL METADATA

Owner: Anton Merkulov
Backup Owner: None
Team: Harness / Platform
Created: 2026-09-15
Last Reviewed: 2026-11-05
Version: 3.3.0
Purpose: Install the portable AI-dev harness, rebuild its operational graph standalone, harvest project skill improvements into its canonical templates, package direct canonical edits into a portable bundle, or apply canonical updates to an existing project.
Data Class: Internal
External Connections: None — operates on local project files; any MCP servers it configures for other skills (e.g. Jira/Confluence, AWS) are declared per-project in the generated `.mcp.json`, not used by this skill itself
Capabilities: Filesystem read/write scoped to the host project and this package's own directories (no access outside the repo); spawns one pinned local subprocess (`scripts/check-mermaid.mjs` renders via a configured, non-shell `spawnSync` call — no shell, no network-fetched code); may delegate single, disjoint-path stages to subagents per "Delegation safety" below. No credential handling, no network calls, and no push/deploy/commit of its own — those remain guarded commands presented to the developer to run.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dataart/artisyn-implementation-harness/harness-bootstrap@sha256:d7699b56eeae8585

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.3.0, 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.
