Extend or debug the harness itself: change hooks, policies, the engine, agents or skills; read reports and logs; find the root cause when a hook refuses wrongly or the harness misbehaves. Needs admin mode, which the user switches on in the terminal (harness admin on). Use when the user types /harness-admin, when the rules say "Admin mode: on", or when the user asks to change the harness or find why it did something. Keywords: admin, admin mode, extend the harness, change the hook, guardrail…
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
# Admin: extend and debug the harness Admin mode is a switch on one session, not an agent: the user runs `harness admin on --session-id <id>` in their terminal, and the default agent in that session may change guardrail files. What stays closed is in the rules the hook gives every prompt in admin mode. This skill is how to work there. ## When to Use This Skill - The user wants the harness changed: a hook rule, a policy default, the engine, an agent, a skill, a message. - The user asks why the harness did something (a refusal, a wrong state on the board, a missing report). - The user wants a policy override (`*.override.json`) written. **Who starts it: auto.** It changes nothing by itself; admin mode is the user's to switch on. ## Step-by-Step Workflows …

How to install
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/harness-admin@sha256:a3ea51ef0d3c64dfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.29eec9e, 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.
