harness-2-observe

The Observe stage of the harness loop. Runs silently during work, capturing friction to the per-agent session buffer so the next session is cheaper. Never prompts the user.

Track compounding value. Each entry logged here is not overhead — it is the mechanism by which the harness compounds. The meta-question is never whether one task succeeded; it is whether the development infrastructure gets cheaper, safer, and clearer every iteration. Every difficulty catalogued is a gift to your future self.

When to fire

Two firing modes — both silent, both append-only:

A. Agent-observed friction (during work)

The agent calling this skill notices something worth logging. Concrete trigger heuristics:
