Evaluate a repo agent harness (AGENTS.md, rules, skills, skill refs) for broken paths/commands, redundant instructions, and usefulness using a stack-agnostic dual-judge protocol with planted traps. HIGH PRIORITY questionnaires at top: Q1 optional docs, Q2 B/C budget before Track A (certainty/tokens). A always runs after Q2; B/C opt-in. ADRs/RFCs excluded from T2. Mixed apply uses 11-mixed-apply.md (KEEP/CUT). Use when the user says harness eval, harness-eval, harness debug, audit AGENTS.md…
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
# Harness Eval Run a full, stack-agnostic harness evaluation and stop at reports. Do not auto-edit AGENTS.md or skills unless the user explicitly asks after reviewing Ship/Slim. ## User questionnaires (HIGH PRIORITY) **Stop and ask before continuing.** Do not skip these gates. Do not silently include optional docs or spawn B/C judges. Order after inventory: **Q1 (if needed) → Q2 → then Track A** (A always runs) → B/C only if approved. ### Q1 — Optional project docs (after inventory) When `optional-docs-candidates.md` lists optional types, ask before Q2 / Track A: ```markdown Inventory found cited project docs outside the agent skill trees. - **Always in scope:** skill-tree files (`.agents/skills`, `.cursor/skills`, `.claude/skills`) - **Always excluded:** ADRs / RFCs / decision-record trees (never scored as T2) - **Optional (default: omit):** see types/paths in `optional-docs-candidates.md` Include any optional doc types or paths in this run? Reply with: `none` (default), type ids (e.g. `docs`), and/or specific paths. ``` Re-run inventory with `--include-doc-type` / `--include-doc` only after the user answers. If no optional types, skip Q1. …

How to install
mdr add tech-leads-club/agent-skills/harness-eval@sha256:d8a0c38e017eb049The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.9.0, 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.
