Create `agent-progress.json` in workspace root with template 2. Update `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` to include a fixed startup sequence section 3. Log changes made ### Apply Single Fix ```bash tool("agent-harness-doctor", "apply_fix", {"fix_id": "create_session_bridge"}) ``` ## Fixes Implemented - `create_session_bridge` — generates `agent-progress.json` with schema v1.0 - `fix_startup_sequence` — inserts mandatory startup steps into AGENTS.md (if present) - `add_smoke_test` — adds pre-task environment check (gateway status, API connectivity) - `enable_atomic_checkpoint` — adds post-task commit template - `output_verification_gate` — injects self-check prompt into system instructions - `state_json_format` — migrates existing state files from MD to JSON - `fallback_plan_template` — adds fallback handling patterns to AGENTS.md ## Integration with Memory Stack If `memory-stack-core` is installed, harness doctor will: - Check WAL and buffer health as part of "Session Bridge" score - Recommend enabling WAL auto-capture if missing - Verify buffer threshold is set appropriately ## Pricing $99 one-time. Includes: - Unlimited diagnostics - Auto-fix application - Future dimension additions --- *Based on ClawHub's agent-harness-architect skill, extended with auto-fix capabilities.*
