harness-export SKILL.md skillB

harness-export from harnessprotocol/harness-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/harness-export@git:20260727.387edcf

Pins git:20260727.387edcf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when user invokes /harness-export or wants to save their current harness-kit plugin setup to a shareable harness.yaml file. Detects installed skills, collects source info, and writes the config in Harness Protocol v1 format. Do NOT use for importing or restoring a harness — use /harness-import instead.

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

# Export Your Harness Configuration

You are helping the user capture their current harness-kit setup into a `harness.yaml` file they can share with teammates or commit to their dotfiles repo.

This file follows the **Harness Protocol v1 format** — the open spec at harnessprotocol.ai. It is backward-compatible with harness-import (which handles both old and new formats).

## Workflow Order (MANDATORY)

**Follow these steps in order. Do not skip any step.**

---

### Step 1: Detect installed skills

Scan every skill directory across all 8 supported targets. Each subdirectory inside these directories is an installed skill:

- `~/.claude/skills/` — Claude Code global skills
- `.cursor/skills/` — Cursor project-local skills
- `.github/skills/` — Copilot project-local skills
- `.agents/skills/` — Codex, and the agentskills.io standard shared location
- `.opencode/skills/` — OpenCode project-local skills
- `.windsurf/skills/` — Windsurf project-local skills
- `.gemini/skills/` — Gemini CLI project-local skills
- `.junie/skills/` — Junie project-local skills

```bash
ls ~/.claude/skills/ 2>/dev/null
ls .cursor/skills/ 2>/dev/null
ls .github/skills/ 2>/dev/null
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/harness-export@sha256:894590c3c37c370d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260727.387edcf, 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.
