Harness Agent Team Designer
revfactory/harness
Designs a project-specific agent harness: defines specialist agents, writes the skills they follow, picks an execution mode and model for each, and keeps the setup maintained.
Builds or refreshes a personal -mode skill that captures how you work, using patterns mined from your recent agent transcripts in the current workspace.

At a glance
Builds or refreshes a personal -mode skill that captures how you work, using patterns mined from your recent agent transcripts in the current workspace.
- Works in 7 steps: Check for an existing skill → Mine their history → Ask the user directly → …
- Capturing your preferences and working style as a reusable skill
- SKILL.md covers Flow, Guardrails, Evaluation and When not to use
- Calls git
What it does
The result is one skill named after you, such as `priya-mode`, holding your working conventions so agents follow them. The skill coordinates three others: a mining pass over your history, Cursor's built-in `create-skill` for authoring and the unslop skill for prose discipline. It first looks for an existing `*-mode` skill in the workspace or home skill folders and, if one exists, asks whether to update it or start fresh.
Mining is limited to the active workspace's `agent-transcripts/` folder, because searching across other projects would read unrelated private chats. Parallel subagents each take a slice of recent history, such as the last few weeks, and report patterns with pointers to evidence: response preferences, delegation habits, what counts as done, code and prose discipline, process conventions and meta preferences. In update mode only history since the last edit is mined, and the existing file is revised in place.
When your agent uses it
- Capturing your preferences and working style as a reusable skill
- Refreshing an existing personal mode skill with recent evidence
- Wanting agents to follow how you review, commit and verify work
Example prompts
- “Automate me: draft my mode skill from my recent transcripts.”
- “Update my mode skill with what changed in how I review pull requests.”
- “Turn my working style into a skill, but start fresh instead of editing the old one.”
Requirements
- Agent transcripts for the current workspace
- Cursor's `create-skill` and the unslop skill
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Check for an existing skill
- Mine their history
- Ask the user directly
- Cluster findings
- Draft the skill
- Iterate on prose
- Land it
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Personal Mode Skill Builder loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 954 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 954 words (~1,791 tokens).
“A guided flow for turning the user's working conventions into a skill agents will follow. The output is one -mode skill tailored to them (e.g. jay-mode, priya-mode).”
- name
- automate-me
- disable-model-invocation
