What it does

Harness Audit is an agent skill from Stanshy/AgentHub. Periodic Harness health audit based on 7 design principles

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: One person, one software company. Manage 47 AI agents from a single Electron app — with Harness Engineering (Skills + Hooks + FileWatchers) for disciplined, traceable AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

“/harness-audit”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5300820. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Glob
- Grep
- Bash
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 Audit loads about 390 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~390

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash
```

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.
