What it does

Create Service is an agent skill from harness/harness-skills. Generate Harness Service YAML for deployable workloads and create via MCP. Supports Kubernetes, Helm, ECS, Serverless, SSH, and WinRm deployment types with artifact sources from Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR, Nexus, and S3. Use when asked to create a service, define a Kubernetes service, set up a Helm chart deployment, configure an ECS service, or define what gets deployed. Trigger phrases: create service, service definition, Kubernetes service, Helm service, ECS service, deployment service, artifact source.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires Harness MCP v2 server (harness-mcp-v2)

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Kubernetes, Model Context Protocol, Docker and Helm. The repository describes itself as: A collection of structured AI agent skills that enable Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding assistants to create, operate, debug, and govern Harness CI/CD… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Asked to create a service
Define a Kubernetes service
Set up a Helm chart deployment
Configure an ECS service

Example prompts

“/create-service”

Requirements

Docker
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Harness MCP v2 server (harness-mcp-v2)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Detect service type from codebase (if source code is available) - Scan the project for deployment manifests to auto-select the correct…
Detect artifact source - Match Dockerfile registry references to artifact source type
Confirm with user - Present detected service type, manifest type, and artifact source for confirmation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c25faee. 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 (its code samples are yaml).
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.
Compatibility
Requires Harness MCP v2 server (harness-mcp-v2)
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Create Service loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.2k

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.

Create Service

Generate Harness Service YAML and push to Harness via MCP.

Instructions

Detect service type from codebase (if source code is available) - Scan the project for deployment manifests to auto-select the correct serviceDefinition.type and manifest configuration:
- k8s/, kubernetes/, manifests/ with YAML files → Kubernetes with K8sManifest
- kustomization.yaml → Kubernetes with Kustomize
- Chart.yaml, charts/, helm/ → NativeHelm with HelmChart
- task-definition.json → ECS with EcsTaskDefinition
- serverless.yml / template.yaml (SAM) → ServerlessAwsLambda
- function.json (Azure) → AzureWebApp
- .NET + Windows → WinRm
- Traditional app (JAR/WAR) without containers → Ssh
- See create-pipeline/references/codebase-analysis.md Step 4 for the full decision tree
Detect artifact source - Match Dockerfile registry references to artifact source type:
- Docker Hub → DockerRegistry
- *.dkr.ecr.*.amazonaws.com → Ecr
- gcr.io / *-docker.pkg.dev → Gcr
- *.azurecr.io → Acr
Confirm with user - Present detected service type, manifest type, and artifact source for confirmation

Creating via MCP

Call MCP tool: harness_create
Parameters:
  resource_type: "service"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  body: <service YAML>

List existing services:

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "service"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Examples

"Create a K8s service with Docker Hub artifact" - Kubernetes type with DockerRegistry source
"Create a Helm service" - NativeHelm type with HelmChart manifest
"Create an ECS service with ECR" - ECS type with Ecr artifact source

Performance Notes

Verify that referenced connectors exist before creating the service definition.
Ensure the deployment type matches the infrastructure type that will be used in the pipeline.
For artifact sources, confirm the image path and registry are accessible.
Quality of service configuration is more important than speed.

Troubleshooting

CONNECTOR_NOT_FOUND - Create connector first or fix connectorRef
DUPLICATE_IDENTIFIER - Service exists; use harness_update
Artifact tag <+input> means the tag is provided at runtime
