--- name: openclaw-harness description: "Cross-session context manager for AI agents with checkpoint/snapshot, Build-Verify-Fix closure, and entropy management (GC). Use when: (1) creating a task checkpoint before risky work, (2) verifying task completion via harness verify, (3) cleaning up stale checkpoints with harness gc, (4) restoring a previous checkpoint, (5) tracking cross-session progress, or (6) linting agent configuration files (SOUL.md/IDENTITY.md/AGENTS.md)." --- # openclaw-harness > Cross-session context tracking, entropy management, and verification closure for AI agents. ## Quick Reference | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `harness init [--force]` | Initialize Harness in current workspace | | `harness status [-v\|-j\|-s]` | Show Harness status | | `harness checkpoint create <label> [--tag <tag>]` | Create a checkpoint snapshot | | `harness checkpoint list` | List all checkpoints | | `harness checkpoint restore <cp-id> [--force]` | Restore to a checkpoint | | `harness checkpoint delete <cp-id>` | Delete a checkpoint | | `harness verify [--rule '<json>'] [--exit-code]` | Run verification checks | | `harness gc [--dry-run] [--max-cp N] [--max-age N] [--aggressive]` | Entropy cleanup | | `harness progress show` | Show cross-session progress | | `harness linter [--fix] [--strict]` | Lint SOUL/IDENTITY/AGENTS files | | `harness fix [placeholders\|whitespace\|trailing\|all]` | Auto-fix linter issues | ## Core Workflow ```bash # 1. Initialize (once per workspace) harness init # 2. Create checkpoint before risky work harness checkpoint create "before-refactor" # 3. Do work, verify harness verify # 4. Create another checkpoint when milestone reached harness checkpoint create "feature-done" --tag "feature" # 5. Preview cleanup harness gc --dry-run # 6. Restore if needed harness checkpoint restore <cp-id> --force ``` ## Safety Rules - **Never deleted**: SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, TASKS.md, .harness/ - All deletions logged to `.harness/gc.log` - Deleted files archived to `.harness/.trash/` before removal ## Directory Structure ``` .harness/ # Harness state root (created by init) ├── .initialized # Init marker (version + timestamp) ├── config.json # Config: max_checkpoints, max_age_days, etc. ├── gc.log # Deletion audit log ├── checkpoints/<cp-id>/ # Checkpoint snapshots │ ├── manifest.json # Snapshot manifest │ └── files/ # Snapshot copies ├── reports/ # Verification reports ├── tasks/ # Task metadata ├── tmp/ # Temp files (GC target) └── .agent-progress.json # Cross-session progress state ``` ## Advanced Usage **Custom verification rules:** ```bash harness verify --rule '[{"name":"Build OK","type":"command","path":"npm run build"}]' ``` **Checkpoint management:** ```bash harness checkpoint create "label" --tag "v1" --tag "stable" harness checkpoint show <cp-id> ``` **GC with limits:** ```bash harness gc --max-cp 5 # Max 5 checkpoints per task harness gc --max-age 7 # Delete checkpoints older than 7 days harness gc --aggressive # Also clean tmp/ directory ``` **Progress tracking:** ```bash harness progress show harness progress set-phase "Phase 2" harness progress add-blocker "Waiting for API key" ``` **Linter and fix:** ```bash harness linter --strict # Fail on warnings too harness linter --fix # Auto-fix issues (creates .orig backups) harness fix all --dry-run # Preview all auto-fixes ``` ## Detailed Reference For complete documentation, load the relevant reference: - **Architecture & design**: See [references/architecture.md](references/architecture.md) - **Requirements & acceptance criteria**: See [references/requirement.md](references/requirement.md) - **Technical knowledge package**: See [references/knowledge-package.md](references/knowledge-package.md) - **Maintenance guide**: See [references/maintenance.md](references/maintenance.md) ## Scripts This skill includes helper scripts for skill developers: - `scripts/init_skill.py` — Initialize a new skill from template - `scripts/package_skill.py` — Package and validate a skill into .skill file ```bash # Create a new skill python scripts/init_skill.py my-new-skill --path /path/to/output # Package a skill python scripts/package_skill.py /path/to/skill-folder ```
