Project description

local-agent-harness

Maturity-aware harness manager for local AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI).

local-agent-harness makes a repository ready for AI-agent-assisted development from two directions:

  1. Make the agent work better. Generate AGENTS.md / GROUNDING.md, per-runtime overlays (CLAUDE.md, .codex/config, .github/copilot-cli.md), tool DAGs, permission ladders, governed memory, and cost/context budgets.
  2. Make the repository ready. Render sandbox/devcontainer, .pre-commit-config.yaml, verify CI, governance CI, secrets/SAST/dep scans, and a machine-readable AI-readiness score.

The harness evolves with the repo. A blank S0 skeleton receives a minimal kit; a mature S3 codebase gets the full set of governance gates.

Install

pipx install local-agent-harness
local-agent-harness setup        # install the bundled skill into ~/.claude, ~/.copilot, ~/.codex

setup only installs into agent skill roots whose parent directory already exists. Override with --target PATH (repeatable) to install into project-local locations like .github/skills/.

Usage

local-agent-harness assess                 # detect maturity stage + AI-readiness score
local-agent-harness check                  # audit manifests for drift (read-only)
local-agent-harness init  --runtime claude-code --runtime copilot-cli --runtime codex-cli
local-agent-harness refresh --apply        # rewrite stale manifests (backups written)
local-agent-harness report --out .agent/readiness.md
local-agent-harness validate               # regression + redaction smoke checks

Three modes:

Mode Writes? Use when
check no Audit-only — CI gate or quick diagnosis.
init yes Render missing manifests; never overwrites.
refresh yes (with --apply) Back up + rewrite stale or relaxed manifests.

Stages (S0 → S3)

Stage Repo signal Default kit
S0 empty / no source / no tests / no CI AGENTS.md, GROUNDING.md, plan.md
S1 source + tests OR CI + pre-commit, devcontainer, verify CI
S2 source + tests + CI + governance CI, redaction smoke
S3 + tags/releases + readiness gate, no-regression check
