Harness Starter

Use this skill to create or update the smallest useful repository harness. The output lets any orchestrator or subagent answer: what is this project, how do I start and verify it, what is the next ready feature, and what constraints apply.

AGENTS.md Preservation & Size Discipline

When creating or updating AGENTS.md:

  • Preserve existing project-specific Workflow Governance and Stack Diagnosis rules when present.
  • If AGENTS.md was already materialized by workflow-initializer, enrich its project summary and Read First references conservatively without overwriting the Foundation governance rules.
  • Keep AGENTS.md short and routing-oriented. It is a landing page, not an encyclopedia.
  • 10 KB Hard Size Limit: AGENTS.md MUST NOT exceed 10 KB (10,240 bytes) under any circumstance. This avoids the "lost in the middle" degradation in LLM context windows. Move detailed architectural rules, API contracts, or domain encyclopedias into CONSTRAINTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, or dedicated skills.
