bootstrap-repo-harness skillA
bootstrap-repo-harness is agent-read markdown (skill) from wangchangxin0809/cc-repo-harness: Lay a repository's agent harness: CLAUDE.md, hooks, docs/, gates, guards. Use when an agent repeats a mistake or a repository has none..
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
# Bootstrap a repository harness Governs: shared/scripts/scaffold.py, shared/scripts/probe_repo.py, shared/scripts/assess A harness is the machinery that puts the right knowledge in front of an agent at the moment it acts, and stops the actions that are cheaper to prevent than to review. Most repositories have none: they have a `CLAUDE.md` full of rules that are read once, paid every turn, and followed unevenly. **Everything this skill installs must work without it.** The test is literal: 1. Install, then uninstall the plugin. 2. Hand a fresh agent a real task. 3. The repository still teaches it how to work. Anything that only works while the plugin is present belongs somewhere else. That is independence, not disposal. A harness decays — the standing cost creeps up, a guard stops matching, a document falls behind the code it claims — and a repository cannot notice that about itself. Step 1 is worth re-running months later for exactly that, which is why the assessment is never copied into the tree: it reports on the repository rather than being part of it. ## Two rules everything else follows from **Knowledge lives in the repository, not in agent memory.** Memory is …

How to install
mdr add wangchangxin0809/cc-repo-harness/bootstrap-repo-harness@git:20260903.a42ab40mdr add wangchangxin0809/cc-repo-harness/bootstrap-repo-harness@sha256:2c8c1ce68898dae6Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
