AGENTS.md agentsA

AGENTS.md is agent-read markdown (agents) from jakeselby/agent-harness.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# agent-harness

A user-aligned, model-provider-agnostic harness with shared custom primitives and switchable
personal stances. `bin/harness` projects one policy authority into Claude Code and Codex. The global
rules an agent runs under in this repo come from the harness itself, so this file carries only
what is true of this repository.

## Commands

```sh
bin/harness lint                          # personal strings and secret patterns; must be clean
python3 -m unittest discover tests        # merge, link, config, lint logic
bin/harness sync --dry-run                # what a sync would do from this checkout
bin/harness doctor                        # versions, logins, links, drift
```

**Expected clean-tree output:** `lint: 0 finding(s) in …` and `OK` from unittest with no
skipped tests. Tests run under the system Python 3.9 and under a current Python; keep the
code free of syntax newer than 3.9.

## Gate

```sh
python3 bin/harness lint
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
```

The `stop-gate` hook runs this block when the tree has changed since its last green run,
blocks the turn while it is red, and releases after eight consecutive blocks. It runs only
…
