Harness authoring
Every instruction has exactly one right home. This skill finds it, writes there, and keeps the harness checkout as the source of truth for everything generic.
Find the checkout and the caller
python3 - <<'EOF'

If the manifest is missing, locate or install the harness before editing managed content.
Do not create a second authority in a runtime configuration directory. If origin is a fork and upstream is the
harness, you are a fork user. Otherwise, if origin is <owner>/model-citizen, or <owner>/agent-harness from
before the rename, and you are that owner, you are the maintainer.
The ladder — first match wins
- Must run at a lifecycle point regardless of the model's judgment (a check before every
commit, a validator after every write) → a shared policy under
policy/hooks/, dispatched bylib/harness_core/lifecycle.py; native registrations belong in runtime adapters. - Changes tool or editor configuration, not behaviour → an owned native setting in the relevant adapter or editor projection, reconciled by the installer. Do not add a second primitive to represent a runtime setting.
- True of this user only, a secret, or about one project → never the harness repo. A
personal preference goes in user configuration or a custom stance root documented in
docs/primitive-authoring.md; other personal guidance stays in the runtime personal file. A fact about one repo goes in that repo'sAGENTS.md. - A reasonable user would hold the opposite preference → a stance variant under
primitives/stances/<pref>/<variant>.md, and a line inconfig.example.jsonanddocs/preferences.md. Never a core rule. - A procedure with steps, longer than 40 lines, or only needed on a trigger → a skill
under
primitives/skills/<name>/SKILL.md, with a description that says when to use it. - Applies only to some kinds of file → a rule with
paths:frontmatter, in the repo it applies to. - Short, global, wanted on every turn →
primitives/rules/<topic>.md. Check every existing rule first; the usual outcome is one sentence folded into an existing file, not a new one. - Otherwise it is a memory, not an instruction → auto memory for the current project.
A "remember this" request runs the same ladder from the top. A fact about one project or one machine is auto memory for that project, never the harness. A correction to how the agent should behave anywhere is a rule or a stance, and you say so before writing it. A fact about the user is a personal file, outside the repo.
Tests to apply before writing
- Rule or skill? Rules load every session and cost context on every turn for every user. Skills load on invocation. When a rule starts growing steps, it wanted to be a skill.
- Core or stance? If you can imagine a competent engineer choosing the opposite, it is a stance. Licensing, commit style, testing philosophy and autonomy level are stances; "verify before you claim it works" is not.
- Does it duplicate a global rule? Grep
primitives/rules/andprimitives/stances/for the topic. Do not restate a policy that lives in a global rule inside a project rule; link it. - Is it generic? No names, no paths under a home directory, no employer, no project. The lint will reject it anyway; write it in second person from the start.
Write, sync, lint, commit
- Edit shared sources in the isolated development checkout. Runtime directories contain managed links and generated views; editing them can change the live checkout or create drift.
- Run
bin/harness generatefor native views andbin/harness generate --checkto verify them. Seedocs/primitive-authoring.mdfor custom dimensions and native bindings. Verify sync in a disposable home withHARNESS_HOME,CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, andCODEX_HOMEredirected. Sync normal installations from the reviewed release, not the development worktree. bin/harness lint— fails on personal strings and secret patterns.- Commit with a Conventional Commit. Then, by who you are:
- Maintainer: every change goes on a branch in a worktree and opens a PR; the

Writing rule and comment text: the conciseness examples
conciseness.md was cut to its operative lines when the always-loaded context was capped. Its
worked examples live here.
Explain a decision once. Pick the single most natural home for a design rationale — usually the module or class docstring where the thing is defined, or the user-facing doc page for anything a user needs. Every other file that touches the concept gets a short pointer back, not a restatement.
# Bad — restates the full rationale in a consuming file
# We chunk at 999 rather than the documented 10,000 limit because early testing
# suggested the endpoint became unreliable above 1,000 records, and because ...
# Good — one line, points at the canonical explanation
# Chunked per `batch_size`; see the class docstring for the API's limits.
If a second doc explains the same concept as a first, it links to it.
Don't narrate what the code already says. Comments explain a non-obvious why. If a comment would be an accurate one-line summary of the next line of code, delete it.
Docstrings follow the house pattern. Match the surrounding style exactly. Read a neighbouring function before writing a new one. Do not add docstrings purely to satisfy a linter that isn't running; add them where a user of the public API needs them.
No private-context references in shipped code. Code, tests, and docs must stand on their own to a stranger. No references to planning docs, other repos, internal ticket numbers, or evaluation notes. Public issue and PR numbers are fine and useful — they are resolvable by any reader.
PR descriptions. Lead with what and why in a few bullets, plus a link to the issue. Fill in
the template's sections and delete none, but keep each short. A long PR description with heavy
heading and bold formatting is harder to review, not more informative. Long explanatory content
belongs in the issue or in docs/, referenced from the PR body.
The always-loaded cap
primitives/instructions.md, every file in primitives/rules/, and the longest variant of each
stance dimension are loaded on every turn of every session. citizen lint fails when their combined
size exceeds ALWAYS_LOADED_TOKEN_CAP in bin/harness — a third of the 12,607-token standing
context measured in issue #430, and the binding limit — or the secondary ALWAYS_LOADED_CAP in
lines. Both are printed on every lint run. A rule that needs more room than the
cap allows is telling you it wanted to be a skill: keep the operative line resident, move the
rationale, examples and evidence into the skill the rule points at, and leave a one-line pointer
behind. The stance count uses the longest variant per dimension, so no configuration a user
can select is ever over the cap.

print(m["repo"])

If the manifest is missing, locate or install the harness before editing managed content.
Do not create a second authority in a runtime configuration directory. If `origin` is a fork and `upstream` is the
harness, you are a **fork user**. Otherwise, if `origin` is `<owner>/model-citizen`, or `<owner>/agent-harness` from

under `primitives/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, with a description that says when to use it.
6. **Applies only to some kinds of file** → a rule with `paths:` frontmatter, in the repo it
applies to.
7. **Short, global, wanted on every turn** → `primitives/rules/<topic>.md`. Check every existing

See `docs/primitive-authoring.md` for custom dimensions and native bindings.
Verify sync in a disposable home with `HARNESS_HOME`, `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, and `CODEX_HOME`
redirected. Sync normal installations from the reviewed release, not the development worktree.
3. `bin/harness lint` — fails on personal strings and secret patterns.
4. Commit with a Conventional Commit. Then, by who you are:

Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
