+## 6. A harness from zero, with its own folder
+
+A harness plugin is the adapter of a harness: its folder in a project, its
+agent files, its install and its turn. Checked end to end with the harness `foo`.
+
+1. Write the adapter:
+
+   ```bash
+   orbital plugin new foo --port harness
+   cd foo && npm install && npm test && cd ..
+   ```
+
+   `src/plugin.ts` declares the folder `.foo` with `FOO.md` and `agents/`, and an
+   `install` that registers the orbital MCP server in `.foo/mcp.json`.
+   `orbital-plugin.json` declares the same folder under `harnesses`.
+
+2. Set it up in the project:
+
+   ```bash
+   orbital install foo --plugin ./foo
+   ```
+
+   It writes `.foo/orbital.yaml` with `plugins: { foo: { source: ../foo } }`, and
+   `.foo/mcp.json`. A clone of the project finds the adapter from that file.
+   A plugin from npm goes to the plugin cache of orbital, not into the project.
+
+3. Write an agent and a team in the folder. An agent file that names no
+   harness runs on `foo`:
+
+   ```text
+   .foo/agents/scout.md          ---\nname: scout\n---\nYou look around.
+   .foo/teams/look/CHARTER.md    ---\napiVersion: orbital/v1alpha1\nname: look\nlead: scout\n---
+   ```
+
+4. `orbital up`, then `orbital mission new look first` and
+   `orbital mission start first`. The view shows `scout · foo`, its transcript and
+   the tokens of `example:foo` in `orbital telemetry snapshot`.
+
+For yourself instead of the project: `orbital plugin add ./foo --user` names it
+in your user config, and every project of yours loads it after the plugins its
+own `orbital.yaml` names.
+
+## 7. A gatekeeper for messages from the network
+
+The plugin asks an agent of the receiving team if a message from the network may
+reach the team. It uses `host.askAgent` (see
+[host-api.md](host-api.md#askagent)) and the `channel.receive` action (see
+[ports.md](ports.md#channelreceive)). It needs no model permission.
+
+```bash
+orbital plugin new gate --port policy
+```
+
+```ts
+import { AskAgentError } from '@kaiba-cloud/orbital-sdk';
+import type { PluginContext, PluginImplementation } from '@kaiba-cloud/orbital-sdk';
+
+export const NAME = 'gate';
+

+          if (action.kind !== 'channel.receive' || action.origin.kind !== 'network') return { verdict: 'allow' };
+          const team = action.to.kind === 'team' ? action.to.name : fallback;
+          if (!team) return { verdict: 'deny', reason: 'The gate refused this message: it names no team.', policy: NAME };

+                'Answer with one JSON object and no other text: {"allow": true | false, "reason": "<one sentence>"}.',
+              ].join('\n'),
+            });
+            const verdict = JSON.parse(answer.slice(answer.indexOf('{'), answer.lastIndexOf('}') + 1)) as { allow?: unknown; reason?: unknown };
+            if (verdict.allow === true) return { verdict: 'allow' };
+            return { verdict: 'deny', reason: `The gate refused this message: ${String(verdict.reason ?? 'no reason given')}`, policy: NAME };
+          } catch (error) {
+            const why = error instanceof AskAgentError ? error.code : 'an answer that is not the JSON asked for';
+            return { verdict: 'deny', reason: `The gate could not decide, so it refused this message (${why}).`, policy: NAME };
+          }
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  };
+}

+- Fail closed: an error, a timeout, an unknown agent and an answer that is not
+  the JSON asked for all deny. Never answer `allow` when the agent did not say so.
+- `deterministic: false`, so the node reads `allow` as no answer. Only `deny`
+  counts.
+- Look at `origin.kind` first. A message of the node itself has `origin.kind`
+  `local`: allow it with no call, or the plugin asks the agent for every
+  message of the team.
+- The reason of the `deny` goes to the sender. The hub sends it back over the
+  same channel as `refused: <reason>`, and the request of the sender ends as
+  rejected.
+- A real plugin cuts the text and the reason to a safe length. See
+  `plugins/gatekeeper`.
