## What is this?
|
|
21
|
-
|
|
22
|
-
Most codebases have no `AGENTS.md`, no architecture documentation an agent can read, and no defined workflow for picking up a task. So agents improvise, and you get a different answer every run.
|
|
23
|
-
|
|
24
|
-
**agent-harness** is the CLI that installs the **Plain Concepts Platform Harness** into a repository and keeps it up to date.
|
|
25
|
-
|
|
26
|
-
The harness is ours. We build it, our projects run on it, and this CLI is how it gets into a codebase. It is the set of files agents work from: slash commands, `pc-*` skills (the `pc-` is Plain Concepts), an agent team, OpenCode plugins, an OpenSpec workspace, and generated `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `DESIGN.md`.
|
|
27
|
-
|
|
28
|
-
Underneath, it wires OpenCode to OpenSpec for change management, native subagent waves for parallel work, codegraph for code intelligence, and agentmemory for context that survives between sessions.
|
|
29
|
-
|
|
30
|
-
The CLI has three jobs:
|
|

-
|
|
32
|
-
| Command | What it does |
|
|
33
|
-
| --- | --- |
|
|
34
|
-
| `npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness` | Installs the harness. A wizard runs once and saves your answers to `.opencode/harness.json`. |
|
|
35
|
-
| `npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness update` | Reinstalls the harness from those saved answers, no questions asked. Keeps files you edited. |
|
|
36
|
-
| `npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness join` | Sets up a teammate's machine. Touches no committed file. |
|
|
37
|
-
|
|
38
|
-
You run the first one once per repository, and the second whenever we ship a release.

## Quick start
|
|
45
|
-
|
|
46
|
-
```bash
|
|
47
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness@latest
|
|
48
|
-
```
|
|
49
|
-
|
|
50
|
-
Requires **Node.js 18 or higher**.

|
-
### Run specific steps
|
|
53
|
-
|
|
54
|
-
You can run individual setup or maintenance steps without running the full wizard:
|
|
55
|
-
|
|
56
|
-
```bash
|
|
57
|
-
# Run one step directly
|
|
58
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness clean
|
|
59
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness platform
|
|
60
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness copy
|
|
61
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness openspec
|
|
62
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness models
|
|
63
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness optimization
|
|
64
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness browser
|
|
65
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness metadata
|
|
66
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness join
|
|
67
|
-
|
|
68
|
-
# Show CLI help and all commands
|
|
69
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness --help
|
|
70
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness -h
|
|
71
|
-
```
|
|
72
|
-
|
|
73
|
-
When available, step commands reuse context from `.opencode/harness.json`.
|
|
74
|
-
|
|
75
|
-
### Keeping the harness current
|
|
76
|
-
|
|
77
|
-
A new release of agent-harness ships new commands, skills and plugins. To pull them into a project that already has the harness:
|
|
78
|
-
|
|
79
|
-
```bash
|
|
80
|
-
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness@latest update
|
|
81
|
-
```
|
|
82
|
-
|
|
83
|
-
`update` re-runs every file patch from `.opencode/harness.json` and asks nothing. It keeps a hash of each file it manages in `.opencode/harness-managed.json`, so it leaves your hand edits alone and reports them as preserved. It also skips generated skills like `pc-guardrails-project`, whose contents came from a `/make-*` command rather than from us.
|
|
84
|
-
|
|
85
|
-
Reach for individual steps when you want something narrower:
|
|
86
|
-
|
|
87
|
-
- `clean` to reset old AI files
|
|
88
|
-
- `copy` if templates or skills changed in a new agent-harness release
|
|
89
|
-
- `optimization` to reconfigure RTK, quota, Simple English, codegraph, agentmemory, or humanizer, and the guardrails optimization markers
|
|
90
|
-
- `metadata` last, to refresh `.opencode/harness.json`
|
|
91
|
-
- `join` if you are new to a project that already has the harness and want the local tooling it expects
|
|
92
|
-
|
|
93
|
-
> **Upgrading from `opencode-onboard` v1?** v2 renamed the config files and the skill prefix (`ob-` became `pc-`), and it does not migrate v1 projects. The CLI detects one and refuses to run rather than half-patching it. Re-onboard on a clean branch: remove `.opencode/` and `.agents/skills/ob-*`, then run the wizard again.
|
|
94
|
-
|
|
95
|
-
> **Browser tooling changed in v2.4.** The `@different-ai/opencode-browser` plugin (and its Chrome extension) was replaced by [`agent-browser`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser), wired in as an MCP server in `opencode.jsonc`. Running `update` strips the old plugin entry, adds the MCP block, and installs the new binary — no manual unloading of the extension is needed, though you can remove it from `chrome://extensions` yourself. Skills you wrote that call `browser_*` tools directly must switch to the `agent-browser` CLI or the `agent_browser_*` MCP tools. Backlog-browser users: agent-browser runs its own Chrome, so log in once per project using the `--session backlog --restore` flow described in `pc-userstory-browser`.

## Installing the harness
|
|
100
|
-
|
|
101
|
-
The first run is a 10-step wizard. It keeps the current step visible, plus the last two completed steps, so progress is always clear.
|
|
102
|
-
|
|
103
|
-
| Step | What happens |
|
|
104
|
-
| --- | --- |
|
|
105
|
-
| **1. Source scope** | Choose current repository or sibling source roots for code analysis |
|
|
106
|
-
| **2. Clean AI files** | Detects existing `AGENTS.md`, `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, `.agents/` and so on, then removes them. Preserves your `.agents/skills/` directory. |
|
|
107
|
-
| **3. Choose platform** | Backlog (GitHub, Azure DevOps, Jira, browser-based, or None) plus repository (GitHub, Azure DevOps, GitLab, or None). Supports mixed platforms, for example browser backlog plus GitHub repository, or Jira backlog plus GitLab repository. |
|
|
108
|
-
| **4. Check platform CLI** | Verifies `gh` (GitHub), or `az` plus `azure-devops` extension (Azure DevOps), or `acli` (Jira), or `glab` (GitLab). Skips CLI checks for browser-based or None platforms. |
|
|
109
|
-
| **5. Copy scaffolding** | Copies agents, built-in skills, bootstrap documentation, writes source-roots metadata, applies AGENTS bootstrap patching, copies `skills-lock.json`, then runs `npx skills` |
|
|
110
|
-
| **6. Initialize OpenSpec** | Runs `npx @fission-ai/openspec init` silently for structured change management |
|
|
111
|
-
| **7. Choose models** | Fetches live model list from [models.dev](https://models.dev), lets you pick plan, build, and fast models with cost indicators and canonical pricing |
|
|
112
|
-
| **8. Token optimization tools** | Optional and recommended. One checklist step for RTK check, opencode-quota setup, Simple English install, codegraph install, agentmemory install, humanizer install, and token-optimization rule injection into guardrails |
|
|
113
|
-
| **9. Install browser tooling** | Installs `agent-browser` globally and downloads its Chrome for Testing binary |
|
|
114
|
-
| **10. Write onboarding metadata** | Writes `.opencode/harness.json` with selected setup details |
|
|
115
|
-
|
|
116
|
-
When it finishes, open OpenCode in your project and type:
|
|
117
|
-
|
|
118
|
-
```
|
|
119
|
-
/repo-initialize
|
|
120
|
-
```
|
|
121
|
-
|
|
122
|
-
OpenCode asks if this is a greenfield or brownfield project. For brownfield projects it generates `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `DESIGN.md` from your actual codebase, archives project history, then activates the full agent team. For greenfield projects it skips documentation generation and leaves placeholder files you can populate later with `/make-architecture` and `/make-design`.

## Commands
|
|
127
|
-
|
|
128
|
-
Custom slash commands are installed into `.opencode/commands/` and are available directly in OpenCode.
|
|
129
|
-
|
|
130
|
-
Commands that other commands (or agents) need to execute are thin wrappers around `pc-*` skills in `.agents/skills/`. The command handles user invocation and arguments, and the skill holds the procedure. OpenCode has no mechanism for a command to run another command, but any agent can load a skill mid-conversation, which is what makes pipelines like `/plan-goal` composable.

## What is this?
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
Most codebases have no `AGENTS.md`, no architecture documentation an agent can read, and no defined workflow for picking up a task. So agents improvise, and you get a different answer every run.
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
**agent-harness** is the CLI that installs the **Plain Concepts Platform Harness** into a repository and keeps it up to date.
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
The harness is ours. We build it, our projects run on it, and this CLI is how it gets into a codebase. It is the set of files agents work from: slash commands, `pc-*` skills (the `pc-` is Plain Concepts), an agent team, OpenCode plugins, an OpenSpec workspace, and generated `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `DESIGN.md`.
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
Underneath, it wires OpenCode to OpenSpec for change management, native subagent waves for parallel work, codegraph for code intelligence, and agentmemory for context that survives between sessions.
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
The CLI has three jobs:
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
| Command | What it does |
|
|
33
|
+
| --- | --- |
|
|
34
|
+
| `npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness` | Installs the harness. A wizard runs once and saves your answers to `.opencode/harness.json`. |
|
|
35
|
+
| `npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness update` | Reinstalls the harness from those saved answers, no questions asked. Keeps files you edited. |
|
|
36
|
+
| `npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness join` | Sets up a teammate's machine. Touches no committed file. |
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
You run the first one once per repository, and the second whenever we ship a release.

## Quick start
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
```bash
|
|
47
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness@latest
|
|
48
|
+
```
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
Requires **Node.js 18 or higher**.
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
### Run specific steps
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
You can run individual setup or maintenance steps without running the full wizard:
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
```bash
|
|
57
|
+
# Run one step directly
|
|
58
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness clean
|
|
59
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness platform
|
|
60
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness copy
|
|
61
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness openspec
|
|
62
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness models
|
|
63
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness optimization
|
|
64
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness browser
|
|
65
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness metadata
|
|
66
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness join
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
# Show CLI help and all commands
|
|
69
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness --help
|
|
70
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness -h
|
|
71
|
+
```
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
When available, step commands reuse context from `.opencode/harness.json`.
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
### Keeping the harness current
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
A new release of agent-harness ships new commands, skills and plugins. To pull them into a project that already has the harness:
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
```bash
|
|
80
|
+
npx @plainconceptsplatform/agent-harness@latest update
|
|
81
|
+
```
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
`update` re-runs every file patch from `.opencode/harness.json` and asks nothing. It keeps a hash of each file it manages in `.opencode/harness-managed.json`, so it leaves your hand edits alone and reports them as preserved. It also skips generated skills like `pc-guardrails-project`, whose contents came from a `/make-*` command rather than from us.
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
Reach for individual steps when you want something narrower:
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
- `clean` to reset old AI files
|
|
88
|
+
- `copy` if templates or skills changed in a new agent-harness release
|
|
89
|
+
- `optimization` to reconfigure RTK, quota, Simple English, codegraph, agentmemory, or humanizer, and the guardrails optimization markers
|
|
90
|
+
- `metadata` last, to refresh `.opencode/harness.json`
|
|
91
|
+
- `join` if you are new to a project that already has the harness and want the local tooling it expects
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
> **Upgrading from `opencode-onboard` v1?** v2 renamed the config files and the skill prefix (`ob-` became `pc-`), and it does not migrate v1 projects. The CLI detects one and refuses to run rather than half-patching it. Re-onboard on a clean branch: remove `.opencode/` and `.agents/skills/ob-*`, then run the wizard again.
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
> **Browser tooling changed in v2.4.** The `@different-ai/opencode-browser` plugin (and its Chrome extension) was replaced by [`agent-browser`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser), wired in as an MCP server in `opencode.jsonc`. Running `update` strips the old plugin entry, adds the MCP block, and installs the new binary — no manual unloading of the extension is needed, though you can remove it from `chrome://extensions` yourself. Skills you wrote that call `browser_*` tools directly must switch to the `agent-browser` CLI or the `agent_browser_*` MCP tools. Backlog-browser users: agent-browser runs its own Chrome, so log in once per project using the `--session backlog --restore` flow described in `pc-userstory-browser`.

## Installing the harness
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
The first run is a 10-step wizard. It keeps the current step visible, plus the last two completed steps, so progress is always clear.
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
| Step | What happens |
|
|
104
|
+
| --- | --- |
|
|
105
|
+
| **1. Source scope** | Choose current repository or sibling source roots for code analysis |
|
|
106
|
+
| **2. Clean AI files** | Detects existing `AGENTS.md`, `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, `.agents/` and so on, then removes them. Preserves your `.agents/skills/` directory. |
|
|
107
|
+
| **3. Choose platform** | Backlog (GitHub, Azure DevOps, Jira, browser-based, or None) plus repository (GitHub, Azure DevOps, GitLab, or None). Supports mixed platforms, for example browser backlog plus GitHub repository, or Jira backlog plus GitLab repository. |

| **4. Check platform CLI** | Verifies `gh` (GitHub), or `az` plus `azure-devops` extension (Azure DevOps), or `acli` (Jira), or `glab` (GitLab). Skips CLI checks for browser-based or None platforms. |
|
|
109
|
+
| **5. Copy scaffolding** | Copies agents, built-in skills, bootstrap documentation, writes source-roots metadata, applies AGENTS bootstrap patching, copies `skills-lock.json`, then runs `npx skills` |
|
|
110
|
+
| **6. Initialize OpenSpec** | Runs `npx @fission-ai/openspec init` silently for structured change management |
|
|
111
|
+
| **7. Choose models** | Fetches live model list from [models.dev](https://models.dev), lets you pick plan, build, and fast models with cost indicators and canonical pricing |
|
|
112
|
+
| **8. Token optimization tools** | Optional and recommended. One checklist step for RTK check, opencode-quota setup, Simple English install, codegraph install, agentmemory install, humanizer install, and token-optimization rule injection into guardrails |
|
|
113
|
+
| **9. Install browser tooling** | Installs `agent-browser` globally and downloads its Chrome for Testing binary |
|
|
114
|
+
| **10. Write onboarding metadata** | Writes `.opencode/harness.json` with selected setup details |
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
When it finishes, open OpenCode in your project and type:
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
/repo-initialize
|
|
120
|
+
```
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
OpenCode asks if this is a greenfield or brownfield project. For brownfield projects it generates `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `DESIGN.md` from your actual codebase, archives project history, then activates the full agent team. For greenfield projects it skips documentation generation and leaves placeholder files you can populate later with `/make-architecture` and `/make-design`.

## Commands
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
Custom slash commands are installed into `.opencode/commands/` and are available directly in OpenCode.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
Commands that other commands (or agents) need to execute are thin wrappers around `pc-*` skills in `.agents/skills/`. The command handles user invocation and arguments, and the skill holds the procedure. OpenCode has no mechanism for a command to run another command, but any agent can load a skill mid-conversation, which is what makes pipelines like `/plan-goal` composable.
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
| Command | Description |
|
|
133
|
+
| ------- | ----------- |
|
|
134
|
+
| `/repo-help` | Show all commands and when to use each one. Start here if you are unsure. |
|
|
135
|
+
| `/repo-onboard` | Guided tour of the project and its agentic infrastructure. Explains agents, commands, skills, OpenSpec workflow, and configuration. Read-only. |
|
|
136
|
+
| `/repo-audit` | Read-only audit of every configured source root against fullstack abilities and guardrails. Reports prioritized architecture, quality, dependency, lockfile, tooling, and CI findings. |
|
|
137
|
+
| `/repo-initialize` | Initialize the project. Asks greenfield versus brownfield, then activates the agent team. |
|
|
138
|
+
| `/plan-explore` | Think through an idea or investigate a problem before committing to a plan. |
|
|
139
|
+
| `/plan-propose <url or idea>` | Parse a GitHub Issue, Azure DevOps, Jira, or browser URL, or a direct idea, into a structured plan (proposal, specs, tasks). Enriches each task with agent and model assignments. |
|
|
140
|
+
| `/plan-quick <task>` | Quick plan for focused changes. Reads the codebase, creates a task checklist in the Todo pane, and stops. No OpenSpec, no proposals, no specs. |
|
|
141
|
+
| `/plan-apply` | Implement tasks from the current plan. Detects format automatically: OpenSpec-annotated tasks run as parallel subagent waves; plain checkboxes run sequentially in-session. |
|
|
142
|
+
| `/ops-ship` | Create a pull request for the current branch with screenshots if the user interface changed. |
|
|
143
|

| `/ops-backlog` | Create an issue in the backlog platform (GitHub, Azure DevOps, or Jira) from a description. |
|
|
145
|
+
| `/ops-evidence` | Produce evidence a change works (delegating to a project harness if present, else a screenshot), write `evidence/evidence.json`, and publish an idempotent comment on the issue/PR. Best-effort. |
|
|
146
|
+
| `/plan-archive` | Archive a completed OpenSpec change. |
|
|
147
|
+
| `/plan-goal <feature or URL>` | Autonomous, no-confirmation pipeline: branch off main, then explore, propose, apply, archive (one commit per phase). Default mode: merge to main and delete the feature branch. Add `branch` to keep the feature branch without merging or pushing. `push` pushes the branch; `pr` pushes and opens a PR. For loop-engineering. |
|
|
148
|
+
| `/make-engineer` | Interactive persona-driven form to add a custom specialist engineer. Pick a persona, then confirm an inspected-and-recommended skill set (architecture/patterns like FSD or design patterns, framework, testing, infra) before it installs. |
|
|
149
|
+
| `/make-architecture` | Generate or regenerate `ARCHITECTURE.md` from the codebase. |
|
|
150
|
+

151
|
+
| `/make-guardrails` | Generate a `pc-guardrails-project` skill from `ARCHITECTURE.md` and project config files. Extracts architecture boundaries, naming, code style, testing, and git workflow rules. Updates all `*-engineer.md` to load the skill. |
|
|
152
|
+
| `/repo-verify` | Verify and repair current-branch changes against applicable fullstack abilities and dependency/lockfile rules, while always running immutable dependency installs/restores, configured builds, and tests for every discovered project. Runs automatically in `/plan-goal`. |
|
|
153
|
+
| `/make-user-model [user] <tier> <model>` | Set the model for a tier (`plan`, `build`, `fast`). Writes to `harness.json` (team) or `harness.user.json` (user override, gitignored) when `user` prefix is used. Restart to pick up changes: the `pc-subagent-tiers` plugin rebuilds tier agents at startup. Pass a model id or `current` for the active session model. |

## Agents and Skills
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
agent-harness draws a hard line between two concepts:
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
### Agents, universal behaviors
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
Agents define _how to work_. They are universal personas (same behavior across projects and stacks).
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
Current baseline uses a generic execution model:
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
```
|
|
168
|
+
build primary. Implements. Full write access. The default.
|
|
169
|
+
plan primary. Same body as build, but cannot edit or spawn.
|
|
170
|
+
fullstack-engineer subagent. The body build and plan share, and the fallback worker.
|
|
171
|
+
*-engineer subagent. User-created specialists, spawned for parallel implementation.
|
|
172
|
+
*-engineer.<tier> subagent. The same specialist pinned to a plan/build/fast model.
|
|
173
|
+
```
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
`build` and `plan` are the only agents a human selects, and they are overrides of opencode's own two primaries rather than new names. The `pc-subagent-tiers` plugin regenerates both from `fullstack-engineer.md` on every startup, so they always carry the current abilities, each on its own tier model. `plan` differs from `build` in two frontmatter lines: `edit: deny` and `task: deny`; spawning is denied because a plan session that can call `task()` can have a build worker make the change for it. It keeps `bash` so planning can read git and openspec state, and `pc-system-reminders` holds that shell to inspection commands. Everything else is `mode: subagent` and reached through `task()`, never picked from the agent list. Project-specific specialization comes from user-created engineers via `/make-engineer`. During `/plan-apply` the lead inspects the engineers that actually exist in `.opencode/agents/` and spawns matching specialists. Prefer a specialist over `fullstack-engineer`; if none matches, create one.
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
### Skills, platform knowledge
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
Skills define _what to know_. They provide project rules, platform behavior, and task-specific execution guidance. Agents auto-detect and load relevant skills; **you do not manually choose skills per prompt**.
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
If you choose backlog platform `None`, no userstory skills are injected into the workflow. The project works from direct conversation, local repository context, and optional OpenSpec artifacts only. If you choose repository platform `None`, no pull request skills are injected.
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
Current loading model:
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
- `pc-guardrails-generic` is mandatory baseline for every agent (git, secrets, quality rules, plus the engineer workflow)
|
|
186
|
+
- Baseline context rules and token-optimization guidance live in `AGENTS.md` (always in context), not in a skill
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
Default `fullstack-engineer` abilities:
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
```
|
|
191
|
+
## Abilities
|
|
192
|
+
- Guardrails: @pc-guardrails-generic, @pc-guardrails-project
|
|
193
|
+
```
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
Users are expected to create additional skills and map them into abilities over time.
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
Built-in skills (`pc-` prefix) shipped with agent-harness:
|
|
198

|
|
228
|
+
|
|
229
|
+
Skills live in `.agents/skills/`. Any `SKILL.md` file in a subdirectory is automatically discoverable. Write your own and agents will pick them up.
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
### Models, plan / build / fast
|
|
232
|
+
|
|
233
|
+
During onboarding you pick three models:
|
|
234
|
+
|
|
235
|
+
| Role | Used by | Pick |
|
|
236
|
+
| ---- | ------- | ---- |
|
|
237
|
+
| **plan** | Main OpenCode session (the lead) | Something capable with strong reasoning |
|
|
238
|
+
| **build** | Specialist engineers (default tier) | Something capable for implementation |
|
|
239
|
+
| **fast** | Light helpers (fast tier) | Something fast and cheap |
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
Models are fetched live from [models.dev](https://models.dev) (3000+ models, cached weekly). Cost tiers `[$]` `[$$]` `[$$$]` always reflect the canonical provider price, so `github-copilot/claude-opus-4.7` shows `[$$]` not `[$]`.
|
|

|
+
## The pipeline
|
|
246
|
+
|
|
247
|
+
When you give the lead agent a work item URL, execution follows this pipeline. If backlog platform is `None`, skip the work item stage. If repository platform is `None`, skip the pull request stage:
|
|
248
|

|

|

↓

+

|
|

lead (ship mode, if configured)
|
|
265
|
+
commit → push → pull request → feedback loop
|
|
266
|
+
```
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
1. Load the platform userstory skill (installed as `pc-userstory`, from the variant matching your backlog platform)
|
|
269
|
+
2. Run `/plan-propose` to produce `proposal.md`, specs, and `tasks.md`
|
|
270
|
+
3. Confirm with user before implementation
|
|
271
|
+
4. Run `/plan-apply` to orchestrate implementation in waves
|
|
272
|
+
5. Each wave spawns engineers in parallel (custom `*-engineer` specialists, each carrying its own tier model), capped at `agents.maxConcurrent`
|
|
273
|
+
6. Each subagent receives its task IDs in its prompt, loads relevant abilities, implements, and returns; the lead commits each group
|
|
274
|
+
7. Verify with tests, build, and lint according to task scope
|
|
275
|
+
8. Ship or update pull request via lead flow
|
|
276
|
+
|
|
277
|
+
For unattended Loop Task runs, keep a concrete shell verification task as the final exit-code gate. `/repo-verify` runs inside `/plan-goal` first, applying fullstack abilities, every discovered project's immutable dependency install or restore, configured build and test commands, and change-aware repair checks; the shell task independently proves the critical commands passed before commit or pull request actions.
|
|
278
|
+
|
|
279
|
+
Agents run as native OpenCode subagents in parallel waves: no external plugin, no git worktrees. The lead's Todo pane is the live board, and the `pc-subagent-monitor` plugin mirrors state to `.opencode/harness-run.json`. Navigate into any running subagent with `ctrl+x ↓` then `←`/`→`.

Platform skills ship as suffixed variants (`pc-userstory-gh`, `pc-userstory-az`, `pc-userstory-jira`, `pc-userstory-browser`) and the installer copies only the matching one, renamed to its generic name. Platform operations (ship, review, backlog) are injected directly into the `/ops-*` command files from `cli/fragments/ops-*/` during onboarding. Source-roots metadata lands in `.opencode/source-roots.json`. The always-shipped reminder plugin holds editing, shell and spawning until every ability under the agent's `## Abilities` is loaded, guardrails first, and re-arms after compaction. Token-optimization guidance is injected into `pc-guardrails-generic` marker blocks during onboarding.

## The bootstrap sequence
|
|
315
|
+
|
|
316
|
+
The first time you type `init` in OpenCode after onboarding, the agent asks whether this is a **greenfield** or **brownfield** project:
|
|
317
|
+
|
|
318
|
+
### Brownfield (existing codebase)
|
|
319
|
+
|
|
320
|
+
1. Bootstrap-mode `AGENTS.md` triggers the initialization workflow
|
|
321
|
+
2. OpenCode archives existing project context into OpenSpec (`project-history`)
|
|
322
|
+
3. OpenCode runs `/make-architecture` to generate real `ARCHITECTURE.md` from your codebase
|
|
323
|
+
4. OpenCode runs `/make-design` to generate real `DESIGN.md` from your design system
|
|
324
|
+
5. OpenSpec `config.yaml` is populated with discovered tech stack and domain context
|
|
325
|
+
6. Bootstrap `AGENTS.md` is replaced with production guidance
|
|
326
|
+
7. Team workflows become fully active for normal implementation tasks
|
|
327
|
+
|
|
328
|
+
### Greenfield (new project, little or no existing code)
|
|
329
|
+
|
|
330
|
+
1. Bootstrap-mode `AGENTS.md` triggers the initialization workflow
|
|
331
|
+
2. OpenSpec `config.yaml` is populated with what is known (intended stack, domain)
|
|
332
|
+
3. Bootstrap `AGENTS.md` is replaced with production guidance
|
|
333
|
+
4. `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `DESIGN.md` are left as placeholder files
|
|
334
|
+
|
|
335
|
+
Once your codebase has meaningful content, run:
|
|
336
|
+
- `/make-architecture` to generate architecture documentation
|
|
337
|
+
- `/make-design` to generate design system documentation
|
|
338
|
+
|
|
339
|
+
Both commands are safe to rerun at any time as the project evolves.

## Token Budget Controls
|
|
344
|
+
|
|
345
|
+
Long unattended agent sessions can consume significant tokens. Set these controls up **before** first use:
|
|
346
|
+
|
|
347
|
+
1. **Set provider-side limits first**: monthly soft-limit plus hard usage cap in your provider dashboard:
|
|
348
|
+
- OpenAI: [platform.openai.com/account/limits](https://platform.openai.com/account/limits)
|
|
349
|
+
- Anthropic: [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com)
|
|
350
|
+
- Google AI Studio: [aistudio.google.com/app/usage](https://aistudio.google.com/app/usage)
|
|
351
|
+
|
|
352
|
+
2. **Route models by task type**: use a fast and cheap model (for example `haiku`, `gpt-4o-mini`) for orchestration and status loops; reserve expensive models (for example `sonnet`, `opus`, `gpt-4o`) for implementation tasks only.
|
|
353
|
+
|
|
354
|
+
3. **Install the quota plugin**: the [`@slkiser/opencode-quota`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@slkiser/opencode-quota) plugin adds `/quota` and `/quota_status` commands that surface real-time token usage inside OpenCode sessions.
|
|
355
|
+
|
|
356
|
+
4. **Use `/quota` checkpoints**: run `/quota` before starting any `/plan-apply` session and after each agent wave. Pause at 75 percent consumed; stop at 90 percent.
|
|
357
|
+
|
|
358
|
+
5. **Confirm before large runs**: the onboarded `/plan-apply` workflow will ask for your confirmation before spawning agents for Medium (4 to 7 tasks) or High (8 or more tasks) scope sessions.

## Development
|
|
376
|
+
|
|
377
|
+
The repository splits along one line: **`harness/` is the product, `cli/` is the machinery that installs it.**
|
|
378
|
+
|
|
379
|
+
```
|
|
380
|
+
harness/ what lands in your repository, copied verbatim
|
|
381
|
+
cli/ the installer: commands, wizard steps, presets, fragments
|
|
382
|
+
skills/ skills about this CLI, for agents that operate it
|
|
383
|
+
docs/ the documentation site
|
|
384
|
+
```
|
|
385
|
+
|
|
386
|
+
Browse `harness/` to see what the Plain Concepts Platform Harness actually is, without reading a line of installer code.
|
|
387
|
+
|
|
388
|
+
Inside `cli/`, the layout follows the ten wizard steps: one directory per step under `cli/steps/`, each owning its prompts and its file writes, with `cli/commands/` holding the top-level entry points (`wizard`, `update`, `join`, `migrate`, `single`).
|
|
389
|
+
|
|
390
|
+
Data the CLI reads lives in two places, split by kind:
|
|
391
|
+
|
|
392
|
+
**`cli/presets/`** holds JSON that shapes the wizard's questions and defaults:
|
|
393
|
+
|
|
394
|
+
- `source.json` controls source-scope prompt options
|
|
395
|
+
- `platforms.json` controls platform labels, CLI checks, and backlog-only flags
|
|
396
|
+
- `clean.json` controls AI file detection and preservation
|
|
397
|
+
- `models.json` controls model role prompts and agent assignments
|
|
398
|
+
- `optimization.json` controls RTK, quota, Simple English, codegraph, agentmemory, and humanizer checklist defaults
|
|
399
|
+
- `quota.json` controls opencode-quota defaults
|
|
400
|
+
- `browser.json` controls the agent-browser installer (npm package + Chrome setup)
|
|
401
|
+
|
|
402
|
+
**`cli/fragments/`** holds Markdown injected into the installed harness, one directory per marker family: `archive/`, `guardrails/`, `ops-backlog/`, `ops-evidence/`, `ops-review/`, `ops-ship/`. Each file is the platform-specific body that replaces a `<!-- PC-PLATFORM-*-START -->` block.
|
|
403
|
+
|
|
404
|
+
Every filename the harness writes into a project is declared once in `cli/utils/paths.js`. Change it there, and remember the OpenCode plugins under `harness/.opencode/plugins/` read those same names at runtime.
|
|
405
|
+
|
|
406
|
+
`skills/` holds skills *about this CLI*, for agents that have to operate it. See [skills/README.md](./skills/README.md). They are not published to npm, and they are separate from the `pc-*` skills in `harness/` that get installed into your project.

```bash
|
|

git clone https://github.com/PlainConceptsPlatform/agent-harness.git
|
|

cd agent-harness
|
|
411

# Run linting
|
|
420
|

421
|
+
|
|
422
|
+
# Fix auto-fixable lint issues
|
|
423
|
+
pnpm lint:fix
|
|
424
|
+
|
|
425
|
+
# Watch mode
|
|
426
|

pnpm test:watch
|
|
427
|
+
```
|
|
428
|
+
|
|
429
|
+
Tests are written with [Vitest](https://vitest.dev). Linting uses ESLint flat config with Node ESM defaults and stricter correctness rules.
