Harness Pipeline Skill Skill

Harness Pipeline Skill

Execute and monitor Harness CI/CD pipelines with automatic Jira issue linking.

Usage

/harness-pipeline <action> [options]

Actions

trigger

Trigger a pipeline execution.

/harness-pipeline trigger --pipeline <pipeline-id> --branch <branch-name> --jira <issue-key>

Steps:

Validate Jira issue exists (using issue-validator)
Execute pipeline via Harness REST API
Add comment to Jira issue with execution link
Return execution ID for monitoring

status

Check pipeline execution status.

/harness-pipeline status --execution <execution-id>

Returns:

Pipeline name
Current status (Running, Success, Failed, Aborted)
Stage statuses
Duration
Error details (if failed)

logs

Get pipeline execution logs.

/harness-pipeline logs --execution <execution-id> --stage <stage-name>

list

List recent pipeline executions.

/harness-pipeline list --pipeline <pipeline-id> --limit 10

Jira Integration

When triggering a pipeline with --jira flag:

Pre-execution:
- Validates issue exists
- Checks issue is in appropriate status
- Adds "Pipeline Triggered" comment
During execution:
- Optionally updates issue status to "In Progress"
Post-execution:
- Adds execution result comment
- Links build artifacts
- Transitions issue based on result (configurable)

Example Workflow

# 1. Validate the Jira issue first
/jira validate PROJ-163

# 2. Trigger pipeline with Jira link
/harness-pipeline trigger \
  --pipeline my-ci-pipeline \
  --branch feature/PROJ-163 \
  --jira PROJ-163

# 3. Monitor execution
/harness-pipeline status --execution <returned-execution-id>

# 4. View logs if needed
/harness-pipeline logs --execution <execution-id> --stage build

REST API Calls

This skill uses the Harness REST API (NOT MCP):

# Trigger pipeline
curl -X POST "${HARNESS_API_URL}/pipeline/api/pipeline/execute/${PIPELINE_ID}" \
  -H "x-api-key: ${HARNESS_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Harness-Account: ${HARNESS_ACCOUNT_ID}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data-urlencode "accountIdentifier=${HARNESS_ACCOUNT_ID}" \
  --data-urlencode "orgIdentifier=${HARNESS_ORG_ID}" \
  --data-urlencode "projectIdentifier=${HARNESS_PROJECT_ID}"
