Harness patterns for coding agents — memory, permissions, context engineering, delegation, skills, hooks, bootstrap.
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
<!-- Source: keli-wen/agentic-harness-patterns-skill skills/agentic-harness-patterns/SKILL.md — MIT, see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md --> # Agentic Harness Patterns Production AI coding agents are not just an LLM calling tools in a loop. The **harness** — memory, skills, safety, context control, delegation, and extensibility — is what separates a demo from a production system. **For:** Engineers building or extending coding-agent runtimes, custom agents, or advanced multi-agent workflows. **Not for:** Prompt engineering, model selection, generic software architecture, or LLM API basics. All principles are distilled from production runtime decisions. Claude Code is used as grounding evidence, not as the only possible implementation. ## Choose Your Problem | If you want to... | Read | |---|---| | Make the agent remember and improve over time | [Memory](#1-memory) | | Package reusable workflows and expertise | [Skills](#2-skills) | | Let the agent use tools powerfully but not dangerously | [Tools and Safety](#3-tools-and-safety) | | Give the agent the right context at the right cost | [Context Engineering](#4-context-engineering) | …

How to install
mdr add hybridlabor-api/aos/agentic-harness-patterns@sha256:12ee11ad85d9a7edThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
