harness-onboarding skillA

harness-onboarding is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: Use when generating a human-readable onboarding document from HARNESS.md, AGENTS.md, and REFLECTION_LOG.md — produces a friendly guide for new team members joining a harnessed project.

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

# Harness Onboarding Documentation

## Overview

HARNESS.md is written for agents and experienced team members.
New contributors need something different — a friendly, practical
guide that explains "here's how we work" without requiring them to
parse constraint definitions and GC rule syntax.

This skill generates `ONBOARDING.md` from three sources the project
already maintains. No new data entry is needed — the onboarding
document is a human-readable projection of existing harness state.

## Sources

| Source | What it contributes |
| --- | --- |
| HARNESS.md | Stack, conventions, constraints, GC rules, observability cadence |
| AGENTS.md | Gotchas, architecture decisions, test strategy, design decisions |
| REFLECTION_LOG.md | Recent surprises with `context` or `workflow` signal |

HARNESS.md, AGENTS.md, and REFLECTION_LOG.md are the single source
of truth. Sync is one-way only — these files drive ONBOARDING.md.
The generated document is never edited directly.

---

## Tone

Write for a human who just joined the team and needs to ship their
first PR. The reader is a skilled developer who knows nothing about
this specific project.
