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

# Claude Harness

An agent orchestration system for Claude Code. This repo IS the harness.

## What This Is

The harness is a collection of skills, agents, hooks, and state files that enable
Claude Code to operate autonomously on any codebase. It provides:
- Intent routing (`/do`) that dispatches tasks to the right tool
- Campaign persistence across sessions
- Parallel agent coordination with discovery sharing
- Automated quality enforcement through lifecycle hooks

## Key Conventions

- Skills live in `skills/`. Each skill is a directory `skills/{name}/SKILL.md`.
- Agents live in `agents/`. They spawn as sub-processes with their own context.
- Hooks live in `hooks_src/`. Installed per-project via `scripts/install-hooks.js`.
- The `init-project` hook auto-scaffolds per-project state on session start:
  - `.planning/` — campaign state, fleet sessions, intake, telemetry
  - `.citadel/scripts/` — utility scripts (telemetry, coordination, compression)
  - `.claude/agent-context/` — rules injected into sub-agents
- Campaign state lives in `.planning/campaigns/` (per-project).
- Fleet session state lives in `.planning/fleet/` (per-project).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/CLAUDE.md@sha256:d2a1ad3766cece3b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.5005453, 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.
