Repository Harness
Repository Harness: Repository tool that turns a software repository into an agent-ready workspace. It prepares software repositories for safe coding agent integration.
Repository use turns a software repository into an agent-ready workspace using a compact repository protocol and a safe updater. It provides an entrypoint, a navigable repository map, durable plans, explicit judgment boundaries, and mechanical validation. Designed for software engineering teams working with coding agents, it prevents common failures like missing intent, lack of authoritative documents, and unverified completion. The installation includes an AGENTS.md entrypoint, workflow maps, and optional templates for plans and decisions. It uses a transactionally safe updater that preserves local edits and handles three-way merges.
