What it does
Harness Observability is an agent skill from Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers. Use when checking harness health, setting up observability cadences, understanding snapshot formats, configuring telemetry export, or verifying that the harness's own observability is working — covers all four layers of harness observability
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/meta-observability-checks.md`, `references/observatory-signals.md` and `references/snapshot-format.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….
When your agent uses it
- Checking harness health
- Setting up observability cadences
- Understanding snapshot formats
- Configuring telemetry export
Example prompts
- “/harness-observability”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Produces a structured snapshot of the harness's current state
- Surfaces deltas from the previous snapshot
- Flags overdue cadences (e.g. "last audit was 45 days ago")
- Updates the README health badge
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Harness Observability loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 656 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 656 words (~1,403 tokens).
“Harness observability is the measurement layer that makes context engineering, architectural constraints, and garbage collection evidence-based rather than intuition-based. Without it, a harness is infrastructure you hope works. With it, you know.”
