Harness Init Skill
Sets up a project so VibeCoder can start development with natural language only. Completes with minimum 1 question, ready to start development immediately.
Quick Reference
- "Want to launch a new project fastest" → this skill
- "Leave it to you" / "Quickly" → proceed with defaults, no questions
- "With Next.js + Supabase" → technology specification
- "Introduce harness to existing project" → analyze existing code
Deliverables
- Real project generation (e.g., create-next-app) + initial setup
- Prepare
Plans.md/AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/.claude/ - Optional: Codex CLI compatibility (
.codex/+AGENTS.md) - Environment diagnosis → SSOT initialization → Final validation
- → Ready to run Plan→Work→Review immediately
