+# Harness DX
+
+> Audit developer experience artifacts -- README quality, API documentation coverage, getting-started guides, and example code validation. Produces a structured DX scorecard with specific improvements and scaffolds missing documentation.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- When preparing a library, SDK, or open-source project for release and developer adoption matters
+- When reviewing a PR that changes public API surface and documentation should match
+- When onboarding friction is high and you need to identify where developers get stuck
+- NOT for internal architecture documentation (use harness-docs-pipeline)
+- NOT for user-facing product copy (use harness-ux-copy)
+- NOT for API design decisions like REST vs GraphQL (use harness-api-design)
+
+## Process
+
+### Phase 1: AUDIT -- Evaluate Documentation Quality
+
+1. **Resolve project root.** Use provided path or cwd.
+
+2. **Locate documentation artifacts.** Search for:
+   - README files: `README.md`, `README.rst`, `readme.md`
+   - Getting started: `GETTING_STARTED.md`, `QUICKSTART.md`, `docs/getting-started.md`
+   - API docs: `docs/api/`, `API.md`, generated docs in `docs/`, `site/`
+   - Examples: `examples/`, `demos/`, `samples/`, code blocks in README
+   - Changelog: `CHANGELOG.md`, `CHANGES.md`, `HISTORY.md`
+   - Contributing: `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `.github/CONTRIBUTING.md`
+
+3. **Score README completeness.** Check for the presence and quality of each section:
+   - **Title and description** (what is this project?) -- 0-2 points
+   - **Installation/setup** (how do I get it?) -- 0-3 points
+   - **Quick example** (show me it working in under 30 seconds) -- 0-3 points
+   - **API reference or link** (where is the full documentation?) -- 0-2 points
+   - **Contributing guide or link** -- 0-1 point
+   - **License** -- 0-1 point
+   - Total: score out of 12, grade A (10+), B (7-9), C (4-6), D (0-3)
+
+4. **Evaluate installation instructions.** Check:
+   - Are all package managers covered? (npm, yarn, pnpm for JS; pip, poetry for Python; cargo for Rust)
+   - Are prerequisites listed? (Node version, OS requirements, system dependencies)
+   - Is there a one-liner to get started? (copy-paste friendly)
+   - Do the instructions work on all documented platforms?
+
+5. **Assess API documentation coverage.** For every exported function, class, or endpoint:
+   - Is it documented?
+   - Does it have parameter descriptions?
+   - Does it have a usage example?
+   - Does it have return type documentation?
+   - Calculate coverage percentage: `documented / total * 100`
+
+6. **Check for time-to-hello-world.** Estimate the number of steps from `git clone` to seeing the project work. Fewer than 5 steps is good. More than 10 is a problem.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: EXTRACT -- Identify and Validate Examples
+
+1. **Extract code examples from documentation.** Parse all markdown files for fenced code blocks with language annotations. Track:
+   - File location and line number
+   - Language (js, ts, python, bash, etc.)
+   - Whether it is a complete runnable example or a fragment
+
+2. **Extract standalone examples.** Scan `examples/`, `demos/`, `samples/` for:
+   - Example projects with their own package.json/requirements.txt
+   - Single-file examples
+   - Example README files explaining what each example demonstrates
+
+3. **Validate example syntax.** For each extracted code example:
+   - Check for syntax errors (missing imports, unclosed brackets, invalid syntax)
+   - Check for references to APIs that no longer exist (stale examples)
+   - Check that import paths match the actual package name and exports
+
+4. **Run executable examples.** When `--validate-examples` is set:
+   - For JavaScript/TypeScript: attempt `node` or `tsx` execution
+   - For Python: attempt `python` execution
+   - For shell commands: validate they reference real scripts and flags
+   - Record pass/fail for each example with error output
+
+5. **Check example freshness.** Compare examples against the current API surface:
+   - Are there deprecated APIs used in examples?
+   - Are there new APIs with no examples?
+   - When was each example file last modified relative to the source it demonstrates?
+
+6. **Build coverage map.** Map examples to the APIs they demonstrate. Identify APIs with zero examples (documentation gaps).
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: SCAFFOLD -- Generate Missing Documentation
+
+1. **Generate README sections.** For any missing README section identified in Phase 1:
+   - Draft installation instructions by reading `package.json`, `setup.py`, `Cargo.toml`, or equivalent
+   - Draft a quick-start example using the project's main export
+   - Draft a features list from the project's exports and test descriptions
+
+2. **Generate API documentation stubs.** For undocumented exports:
+   - Extract function signatures, parameter types, and return types from source
+   - Generate JSDoc/docstring stubs with parameter descriptions inferred from type names
+   - Include a usage example skeleton derived from test files when available
+
+3. **Generate example files.** For APIs with no examples:
+   - Create a minimal working example in `examples/`
+   - Include comments explaining each step
+   - Ensure the example is self-contained (includes imports, setup, and cleanup)
+
+4. **Generate getting-started guide.** If no quickstart exists:
+   - Write a step-by-step guide from installation through first meaningful use
+   - Include expected output at each step
+   - Target under 5 minutes to complete
+
+5. **Propose documentation structure.** If documentation is scattered or missing:
+   - Recommend a `docs/` directory structure
+   - Map content to sections (guides, reference, examples, tutorials)
+   - Suggest a documentation site generator if the project is large enough (Docusaurus, MkDocs, mdBook)
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: VALIDATE -- Verify Documentation Accuracy
+
+1. **Check link integrity.** Verify all links in documentation:
+   - Internal links: do referenced files and anchors exist?
+   - External links: are they well-formed? (do not make HTTP requests)
+   - Badge URLs: are shields.io and similar badge URLs using the correct repo/package name?
+
+2. **Check version consistency.** Verify documentation matches the current version:
+   - Does the installation section reference the correct package version?
+   - Do API examples use the current function signatures?
+   - Is the changelog up to date with the latest release?
+
+3. **Check cross-references.** Verify README links to detailed docs, and detailed docs link back to the README and to each other where appropriate.
+
+4. **Output DX scorecard.** Present the complete audit results:
+
+   ```
+   DX Scorecard: [GRADE]
+   README: [score]/12 ([grade])
+   API Coverage: [N]% ([documented]/[total] exports)
+   Examples: [working]/[total] passing
+   Time to Hello World: ~[N] steps
+   Links: [valid]/[total] verified
+
+   GAPS:
+   - Missing: getting-started guide
+   - Missing: 12 undocumented exports
+   - Broken: examples/advanced.ts references removed API
+
+   GENERATED:
+   - docs/getting-started.md (draft)
+   - 4 API documentation stubs added
+   - examples/basic-usage.ts created
+   ```
+
+5. **Verify scaffolded content compiles.** If documentation was generated, verify:
+   - Generated code examples have valid syntax
+   - Generated markdown renders correctly (no broken formatting)
+   - Generated files are placed in the correct directories
+
+---
+
+## Harness Integration
+
+- **`harness skill run harness-dx`** -- Primary command for running the DX audit.
+- **`harness validate`** -- Run after scaffolding documentation to verify project health.
+- **`Glob`** -- Used to locate README files, documentation directories, example folders, and API docs.
+- **`Grep`** -- Used to extract exported symbols, find documentation comments, and locate code examples in markdown.
+- **`Read`** -- Used to read documentation files, package manifests, and source files for API extraction.
+- **`Write`** -- Used to scaffold missing documentation, generate example files, and create getting-started guides.
+- **`Bash`** -- Used to run example validation, check link targets, and execute code snippets.
+- **`emit_interaction`** -- Used to present the DX scorecard and request confirmation before generating scaffolded files.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- README is scored against all 6 completeness criteria with specific gap identification
+- API documentation coverage percentage is calculated against actual exported surface
+- All code examples in documentation are syntax-checked
+- Executable examples pass when `--validate-examples` is set
+- Missing documentation is scaffolded with accurate, runnable content
+- DX scorecard provides an at-a-glance quality grade
+- Time-to-hello-world is estimated and actionable if too high
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example: Node.js SDK with Sparse Documentation
+
+```
+Phase 1: AUDIT
+  README score: 5/12 (C)
+    Present: title, description, license
+    Missing: installation, quick example, API reference link, contributing
+  API coverage: 23% (7/30 exports documented)
+  Time to hello world: ~14 steps (too many, target: <5)
+
+Phase 2: EXTRACT
+  Code examples found: 3 (all in README)
+  examples/ directory: empty
+  Validation: 2/3 examples pass syntax check
+  Broken: README line 45 references `sdk.connect()` -- renamed to `sdk.init()` in v2.0
+
+Phase 3: SCAFFOLD
+  Generated: docs/getting-started.md (5-step quickstart)
+  Generated: examples/basic-usage.ts (demonstrates init, query, cleanup)
+  Generated: 23 JSDoc stubs from TypeScript signatures
+  README patches: added installation section, updated broken example
+
+Phase 4: VALIDATE
+  Links: 8/10 valid (2 broken anchors in README)
+  Generated examples: syntax valid
+  DX Scorecard: C -> B (projected after applying changes)
+```
+
+### Example: Python Library with Comprehensive Docs (Sphinx)
+
+```
+Phase 1: AUDIT
+  README score: 11/12 (A)
+    Missing only: contributing guide link
+  API coverage: 89% (142/160 functions documented)
+  Sphinx docs at docs/_build/html: present, 45 pages
+  Time to hello world: ~4 steps (good)
+
+Phase 2: EXTRACT
+  Code examples: 28 in docs, 12 in examples/
+  Validation: 37/40 pass (3 use deprecated pandas.append)
+  Stale examples: 3 files last modified 8 months ago, source changed since
+
+Phase 3: SCAFFOLD
+  Generated: 18 docstring stubs for undocumented functions
+  Updated: 3 stale examples to use pandas.concat
+  Added: CONTRIBUTING.md link to README
+
+Phase 4: VALIDATE
+  Links: 52/52 valid
+  DX Scorecard: A (maintained, minor freshness issues resolved)
+```
+
+### Example: Rust CLI Tool Missing Getting Started
+
+```
+Phase 1: AUDIT
+  README score: 7/12 (B)
+    Present: title, description, installation (cargo install), license, API link
+    Missing: quick example showing actual CLI usage, contributing
+  API coverage: N/A (CLI tool, not library)
+  CLI help text: present via clap derive
+  Time to hello world: ~6 steps
+
+Phase 2: EXTRACT
+  Code examples: 2 in README (both installation commands)
+  examples/ directory: 1 example config file, no runnable examples
+  Missing: actual usage examples showing command output
+
+Phase 3: SCAFFOLD
+  Generated: docs/getting-started.md with:
+    1. cargo install myctl
+    2. myctl init
+    3. myctl run --config example.toml
+    (with expected output at each step)
+  Generated: examples/basic-config.toml with annotated comments
+  Generated: README quick-example section with terminal output
+
+Phase 4: VALIDATE
+  CLI help flags match documented flags: YES
+  Config example matches current schema: YES
+  DX Scorecard: B -> A (projected after applying changes)
+```
+
+## Gates
+
+- **No scaffolding without human confirmation.** Generated documentation is always presented as a draft for review. Do not commit generated files automatically. Use `emit_interaction` to present scaffolded content and wait for approval.
+- **No overwriting existing documentation.** If a README section already exists, do not replace it. Only fill gaps. Existing content may have been carefully written and should not be clobbered.
+- **No fabricating API behavior.** Generated documentation and examples must be derived from actual source code (type signatures, test files, existing docs). Do not guess what an undocumented function does based on its name alone.
+- **No marking stale examples as passing.** If an example references a renamed or removed API, it is broken regardless of whether it happens to still parse syntactically.
+
+## Escalation
+
+- **When API documentation requires domain expertise:** If function behavior cannot be inferred from types and tests alone, flag it: "These 5 functions need developer-written documentation -- their behavior is domain-specific and cannot be reliably inferred."
+- **When examples require external services:** If running an example requires a database, API key, or external service, flag the dependency rather than failing: "This example requires a running PostgreSQL instance. Consider adding a Docker Compose file for example dependencies."
+- **When documentation tooling is broken:** If Sphinx, TypeDoc, or other doc generators fail to build, report the error but do not attempt to fix the toolchain. That is outside this skill's scope.
+- **When README and API docs contradict each other:** Flag the contradiction with both sources quoted. Do not choose which one is correct -- the developer must resolve the conflict: "README says `init()` accepts a string, but the TypeDoc shows it accepts `InitConfig`. Which is current?"

+# Harness E2E
+
+> End-to-end browser testing with Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium. Covers page object scaffolding, critical-path test implementation, and systematic flakiness remediation.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Writing browser-level tests for critical user flows (login, checkout, onboarding)
+- Adding E2E coverage for a new feature that touches the UI
+- Diagnosing and remediating flaky E2E tests that block CI pipelines
+- NOT when testing API-only behavior with no UI (use harness-integration-test instead)
+- NOT when testing individual component rendering in isolation (use unit tests or harness-tdd instead)
+- NOT when performing visual screenshot comparison (use harness-visual-regression instead)
+
+## Process
+
+### Phase 1: DETECT -- Identify Framework and Application Structure
+
+1. **Scan for E2E configuration.** Search for `playwright.config.ts`, `playwright.config.js`, `cypress.config.ts`, `cypress.config.js`, `wdio.conf.js`, or `selenium` directories. If multiple frameworks are present, prefer the one with the most existing tests.
+
+2. **Catalog existing E2E tests.** Glob for `*.spec.ts`, `*.e2e.ts`, `*.cy.ts`, `*.test.ts` within E2E directories. Count tests per file and identify patterns: naming conventions, folder structure, shared utilities.
+
+3. **Map application entry points.** Identify the base URL, authentication flow, and route structure. Check for:
+   - Environment configuration (`.env.test`, `playwright.config.ts` baseURL)
+   - Authentication fixtures (stored auth state, login helpers)
+   - Route definitions (Next.js pages, React Router config, Express routes)
+
+4. **Identify the test execution environment.** Determine whether tests run against a dev server, a preview deployment, or a Docker Compose stack. Check `package.json` scripts for `e2e`, `test:e2e`, or `playwright test` commands.
+
+5. **Report findings.** Summarize: framework detected, number of existing tests, coverage gaps relative to application routes, and any configuration issues (missing base URL, no auth setup).
+
+### Phase 2: SCAFFOLD -- Generate Page Objects and Test Infrastructure
+
+1. **Create the page object directory.** Follow the project's existing conventions. If no convention exists, use `e2e/pages/` for Playwright or `cypress/pages/` for Cypress.
+
+2. **Generate page objects for target flows.** Each page object encapsulates:
+   - Locator definitions using stable selectors (`data-testid`, `role`, `aria-label`) -- never CSS classes or XPath positional selectors
+   - Action methods (click, fill, navigate) that return the next page object for chaining
+   - Assertion helpers that verify page state without exposing DOM internals
+
+3. **Create shared fixtures and helpers.** Generate:
+   - Authentication fixture that stores and reuses auth state across tests
+   - Test data factory integration (API calls or database seeds for prerequisite data)
+   - Custom assertions for domain-specific validations
+
+4. **Configure test parallelization.** Set up:
+   - Worker count based on CI environment capabilities
+   - Test isolation (each test gets its own browser context)
+   - Retry configuration (1 retry for CI, 0 for local development)
+   - Screenshot and trace capture on failure
+
+5. **Verify scaffold compiles.** Run the test command with `--list` or `--dry-run` to confirm all imports resolve and page objects instantiate without errors.
+
+### Phase 3: IMPLEMENT -- Write E2E Tests for Critical Paths
+
+1. **Prioritize user flows by business impact.** Order test implementation:
+   - Smoke tests: application loads, critical pages render
+   - Authentication: login, logout, session persistence
+   - Primary flows: the 3-5 flows that represent 80% of user value
+   - Error paths: form validation, 404 handling, permission denied
+
+2. **Write each test following the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern.**
+   - Arrange: set up test data via API calls or fixtures (never through the UI for setup)
+   - Act: perform the user flow through page object methods
+   - Assert: verify the expected outcome using page object assertion helpers
+
+3. **Use explicit waits, never arbitrary timeouts.** Where the framework provides an auto-waiting mechanism (Playwright `expect` with auto-retry, Cypress implicit waits), rely on it. Where explicit waits are needed, wait for specific network responses, DOM mutations, or URL changes -- never `page.waitForTimeout()`.
+
+4. **Isolate tests from each other.** Each test must:
+   - Create its own test data (no shared mutable state between tests)
+   - Clean up after itself or rely on test isolation (separate browser context)
+   - Pass when run individually and when run in any order
+
+5. **Tag tests by scope.** Apply tags or annotations:
+   - `@smoke` for tests that must pass on every deployment
+   - `@critical-path` for primary business flow coverage
+   - `@slow` for tests that exceed 30 seconds
+
+6. **Run the full E2E suite.** Verify all tests pass locally before proceeding to validation.
+
+### Phase 4: VALIDATE -- Execute, Detect Flakiness, and Remediate
+
+1. **Run the suite 3 times consecutively.** Track pass/fail per test across runs. Any test that fails in at least one run but passes in another is flagged as flaky.
+
+2. **Classify flaky tests by root cause.** Common categories:
+   - **Race condition:** test asserts before async operation completes. Fix: add explicit wait for the specific condition.
+   - **Shared state:** test depends on data from a previous test. Fix: make test data independent.
+   - **Animation/transition:** assertion fires during CSS transition. Fix: wait for animation to complete or disable animations in test mode.
+   - **Network timing:** API response arrives before or after expected. Fix: intercept and mock the network request, or wait for the specific response.
+
+3. **Apply remediation for each flaky test.** Do not simply add retries -- fix the root cause. Retries mask problems. After remediation, rerun the previously-flaky test 5 times to confirm stability.
+
+4. **Run `harness validate`.** Confirm the project passes all harness checks with the new E2E tests in place.
+
+5. **Generate a coverage summary.** Report:
+   - Number of user flows covered vs. total identified
+   - Flaky tests found and remediated
+   - Remaining coverage gaps with recommended next steps
+
+### Graph Refresh
+
+If a knowledge graph exists at `.harness/graph/`, refresh it after code changes to keep graph queries accurate:
+
+```
+harness scan [path]
+```
+
+## Harness Integration
+
+- **`harness validate`** -- Run in VALIDATE phase after all tests are implemented. Confirms project health including new E2E infrastructure.
+- **`harness check-deps`** -- Run after SCAFFOLD phase to verify E2E test dependencies do not introduce forbidden imports into production code.
+- **`emit_interaction`** -- Used at checkpoints to present flakiness findings and remediation options to the human for approval.
+- **Glob** -- Used in DETECT phase to catalog existing test files and page objects.
+- **Grep** -- Used to search for selector patterns, wait strategies, and anti-patterns in existing tests.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Every critical user flow identified in DETECT has a corresponding E2E test
+- All E2E tests pass on 3 consecutive local runs with zero flaky failures
+- Page objects use stable selectors (`data-testid`, ARIA roles) -- no CSS class selectors or XPath positional selectors
+- No test uses arbitrary timeouts (`waitForTimeout`, `cy.wait(N)`, `Thread.sleep`)
+- Test data is created via API or fixtures, not through UI interactions during setup
+- Each test is independent and passes when run in isolation
+- `harness validate` passes after the full suite is in place
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example: Playwright E2E for a SaaS Dashboard
+
+**DETECT output:**
+
+```
+Framework: Playwright 1.42 (playwright.config.ts found)
+Existing tests: 12 specs in e2e/tests/
+Base URL: http://localhost:3000
+Auth: Cookie-based, no stored auth state found
+Coverage gaps: settings page, billing flow, team invitation
+```
+
+**SCAFFOLD -- Page object for dashboard:**
+
+```typescript
+// e2e/pages/dashboard.page.ts
+import { type Page, type Locator, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export class DashboardPage {
+  readonly page: Page;
+  readonly heading: Locator;
+  readonly projectList: Locator;
+  readonly createButton: Locator;
+
+  constructor(page: Page) {
+    this.page = page;
+    this.heading = page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Dashboard' });
+    this.projectList = page.getByTestId('project-list');
+    this.createButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'New Project' });
+  }
+
+  async goto() {
+    await this.page.goto('/dashboard');
+    await expect(this.heading).toBeVisible();
+  }
+
+  async createProject(name: string) {
+    await this.createButton.click();
+    await this.page.getByLabel('Project name').fill(name);
+    await this.page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Create' }).click();
+    await expect(this.page.getByText(name)).toBeVisible();
+  }
+
+  async expectProjectCount(count: number) {
+    await expect(this.projectList.getByRole('listitem')).toHaveCount(count);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**IMPLEMENT -- Critical path test:**
+
+```typescript
+// e2e/tests/project-creation.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+import { DashboardPage } from '../pages/dashboard.page';
+import { LoginPage } from '../pages/login.page';
+
+test.describe('Project creation', () => {
+  test('user can create a project from the dashboard', async ({ page }) => {
+    // Arrange: authenticate via stored state
+    const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
+    await loginPage.loginAs('test-user@example.com');
+
+    // Act: create a new project
+    const dashboard = new DashboardPage(page);
+    await dashboard.goto();
+    await dashboard.createProject('My Test Project');
+
+    // Assert: project appears in the list
+    await expect(page.getByText('My Test Project')).toBeVisible();
+    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/projects\/[\w-]+/);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Example: Cypress E2E for an E-Commerce Checkout
+
+**IMPLEMENT -- Checkout flow with network interception:**
+
+```typescript
+// cypress/e2e/checkout.cy.ts
+describe('Checkout flow', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    cy.intercept('POST', '/api/orders', { fixture: 'order-success.json' }).as('createOrder');
+    cy.loginByApi('customer@shop.com', 'testpass123');
+  });
+
+  it('completes checkout with valid payment', () => {
+    cy.visit('/cart');
+    cy.findByTestId('cart-item').should('have.length.at.least', 1);
+
+    cy.findByRole('button', { name: 'Proceed to Checkout' }).click();
+    cy.url().should('include', '/checkout');
+
+    cy.findByLabelText('Card number').type('4242424242424242');
+    cy.findByLabelText('Expiry').type('12/28');
+    cy.findByLabelText('CVC').type('123');
+
+    cy.findByRole('button', { name: 'Place Order' }).click();
+    cy.wait('@createOrder');
+
+    cy.findByRole('heading', { name: 'Order Confirmed' }).should('be.visible');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Gates
+
+- **No CSS class selectors in page objects.** If a locator uses `.btn-primary` or `[class*="header"]`, the test is brittle. Use `data-testid`, ARIA roles, or accessible labels. Rewrite before merging.
+- **No arbitrary waits.** If any test contains `waitForTimeout`, `cy.wait(number)`, or `Thread.sleep`, it is not ready. Replace with explicit condition waits.
+- **No shared mutable state.** If test B depends on data created by test A, both tests are broken. Each test must create its own data. Fix before proceeding.
+- **Flaky tests block merge.** Any test that fails intermittently on 3 consecutive runs must be remediated or quarantined with a tracking issue before the suite is considered complete.

+- **When the application requires a complex auth flow (OAuth, SSO, MFA):** Do not automate the full OAuth redirect in the browser. Use API-based authentication to obtain tokens, then inject them as cookies or headers. If API auth is not available, escalate to the team to expose a test-only auth bypass.
+- **When tests require infrastructure not available locally (third-party APIs, payment processors):** Mock the external dependency at the network layer using Playwright route interception or Cypress intercept. If the mock is insufficient for confidence, escalate for a staging environment with sandbox credentials.
+- **When flakiness persists after 3 remediation attempts on the same test:** The test may be exposing a real race condition in the application. Escalate the finding as a potential production bug rather than continuing to patch the test.
+- **When the E2E suite exceeds 10 minutes on CI:** Triage tests into smoke (must run on every commit) and full (runs on PR merge or nightly). Do not simply accept slow pipelines.
