What it does

Direct is an agent skill from autonomous-ai/openharness. Create and revise a usable brand identity and coordinated launch materials from a business brief, using the Forme project and the person's own artwork, text and production requirements.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/project.md` and `scripts/seed-verdict.sh`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Brand strategy and identity. The repository describes itself as: The ultimate harness for coding agents and beyond. All your agents. All your machines. One command center. Start with code, then follow your curiosity and build across… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Brand strategy and identity

Example prompts

  • “/direct”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 50da5db. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Direct loads about 820 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 422 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~820
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Create and revise a usable brand identity and coordinated launch materials from a business brief, using the Forme project and the person's own artwork, text and production requirements.

Direct an original identity

Read the current board/project.json and board/DESIGN.md. Understand the actual business, audience, approved material and delivery requirements. The starter is a fictional bakery example, not a default visual direction. Produce a system suited to the person's brief.

For structure, read the project format. The model and validator in studio/project.mjs are the executable contract. Layouts and symbols are arbitrary design data; there is no supported list of styles. Reuse an existing direction only when it fits the request.

Make decisions visible in usable work

Show how the identity works on the actual materials: packaging, signage, a pitch, social assets, stationery or another requested medium. A palette and moodboard by themselves are incomplete. If alternatives help the decision, author materially different geometry and hierarchy. If the person already approved a direction, extend it instead of asking them to select again.

Use shared copy bindings for facts that should stay consistent. Use named color roles and embedded fonts for the visual system. Author each format's composition, keeping important text editable. Separate source artwork from staged applications through logo lockups and asset slots. Keep licensed input fonts and their redistribution licenses; do not bundle arbitrary system fonts.

Put supplied image files under board/assets/ and refer to them with file. The build embeds them. The supplied font files are in board/fonts/; additional fonts need explicit license text. A custom static website can live in board/site.html and bind to the same brand copy and tokens.

Build, revise, hand off

sh
node tools/build.mjs
node tools/check.mjs
node tools/export.mjs --scale 2
node tools/import-project.mjs saved.forme.json

The tools are workspace-local. Browser export dependencies live in the installed package referenced by FORME_DSH_DIR. Setup installs pinned Playwright and finds local Chrome or downloads Chromium.

Read board/project.json again before revising: the person's Save to workspace writes their canvas edits there. Unsaved browser drafts remain local; do not pretend to have read them. A stale browser save is refused, with a source-versus-draft choice. Save/import keeps history.

Inspect the actual files in delivery/, not only the editor. Check clipped text, line breaks, color pairings, clear space, the brief's content, intended print dimensions and mobile website. Open SVG/PNG/PDF independently; retain the editable project and its source assets. Fix what the review reveals. A successful export leaves ready:false until that review is real.

The project is bounded to 24 applications per direction, 6 directions and 36 MB of embedded data. For larger campaigns, separate related projects. The included site is static; its contact action must be the user's real intended destination. Work that needs a production backend or a printer's specific color/bleed workflow requires those actual tools and checks.

How do I install Direct in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add autonomous-ai/openharness --skill direct -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (store/agents/creative-direction/skills/direct in autonomous-ai/openharness) into .claude/skills/direct in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Direct in Codex?

Run `npx skills add autonomous-ai/openharness --skill direct -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (store/agents/creative-direction/skills/direct in autonomous-ai/openharness) into .agents/skills/direct in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Direct in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add autonomous-ai/openharness --skill direct -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/direct, .gemini/skills/direct, .github/skills/direct and .opencode/skills/direct in your project.

What does Direct need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Direct needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Our summary lists: A Bash shell.

Does Direct access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Direct safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Direct use?

Direct is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Direct use?

About 820 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Direct?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Direct: Yushio Vi (Lynnouo/yushio, 220 stars), Design Master (minhnv0807/ai-business-skills, 608 stars), Mpstats Connector (Vladimir-Human/ru-marketplace-mcp, 136 stars) and Resend Design Skills (growupanand/ConvoForm, 101 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
