harness-engineeringv1.0.0

A financial services company has a mature, undocumented codebase with tribal knowledge and architectural drift. Using this skill, agents audit the repo, add structured docs like ARCHITECTURE.md and exec-plans, and implement CI checks to enforce governance, making the codebase more maintainable and agent-legible without a full rewrite.

A SaaS startup's repository lacks clear product specs and quality gates, leading to inconsistent features. This skill helps create docs/product-specs/ and quality-score.md, replace policy docs with executable bun scripts, and integrate checks into CI, ensuring alignment with product intent and reducing hidden assumptions.

An open-source project has scattered documentation and no enforcement of contribution guidelines. Applying this skill, agents add missing artifacts like core-beliefs.md and skills.md, set up runnable validation for PRs, and structure docs/references/, improving onboarding for new contributors and agent collaboration.

A healthcare organization needs to audit internal tools for compliance and agent readability. The skill audits the repo, adds observability.md and tech-debt-tracker.md, wires CI to check for required files, and preserves existing runtime details while incrementally hardening the structure to meet regulatory standards.
