Install the portable AI-dev harness, harvest project skill improvements into its canonical templates, package direct canonical edits into a portable bundle, or apply canonical updates to an existing project. Use /harness-bootstrap launch or /harness-bootstrap patch harvest|prepare|apply.

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 bootstrap

[Process guide and diagrams](README.md)

`$ARGUMENTS` selects the operation. This folder is the authoritative, portable
harness source. Installed skills, agents, and guide docs are personalized copies.

## Route

Parse command words, not substrings in file paths or bundle names:

- `launch` (or no arguments): follow [Launch](references/01-launch.md), including its first-step ignore setup.
- `patch harvest [scope]`: read [Patch Harvest](references/04-patch-harvest.md).
- `patch prepare [scope]`: read [Patch Prepare](references/07-patch-prepare.md).
- `patch apply [scope | bundle path]`: read [Patch Apply](references/05-patch-apply.md).
- `patch` alone: read [Patch router](references/03-patch.md) and ask for the direction.
- Compatibility: `update` means `patch apply`. Explain the replacement once; execute the same recipe.
- Conflicting or unknown operations: ask which operation was intended before writing.

## Shared contract

Read [Patch State](references/06-patch-state.md) for harvest/prepare/apply and when
recording a launch baseline. All three patch operations create manifest records;
packaging and tracking are part of the operation, not additional modes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dataart/artisyn-implementation-harness/harness-bootstrap@sha256:3ae7e8854c953bd0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
