Agent Harness Kit

`agent-harness-kit` (ahk) is a thin CLI + library you drop into any repo to give your AI agents structure. It scaffolds a 4-role workflow (Lead → Explorer → Builder → Reviewer), a local SQLite task backlog with atomic claiming, lifecycle health gates, and a full audit trail — all without touching any cloud service or requiring API keys. Why: Every time I handed a task to Claude Code or OpenCode, the agent would just roam. It had no memory of what it already explored, no way to coordinate with a second agent, and no gate to check if the codebase was even in a healthy state before it started writing. I wanted something closer to how senior engineers actually work: a clear role per agent, a shared task list, and a mandatory verification step before anything is marked done. The architecture is deliberately boring: one `agent.harness.ts` config file, a `.harness/` directory with a SQLite DB (using Node ≥ 22's built-in `node:sqlite` — zero native deps), and markdown agent definitions your LLM reads at session start. It works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, or any tool that can read files. ``` npx ahk init # scaffold the harness into your repo npx ahk health # verify the environment before agents start npx ahk status # see task backlog and agent activity ``` **Link:** https://github.com/enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit Would love to hear your thoughts — especially if you've tried other approaches to multi-agent coordination!
