What is the primary purpose of the init-harness skill?

It creates a standardized task management structure that allows AI agents to track their own feature backlogs and progress using external memory files.

Can I use this on existing projects?

Yes, it includes an auto-detection mode that scans existing source code to generate architecture documentation and a corresponding feature backlog.

How does this improve Claude Code's performance?

By providing an external 'source of truth' for tasks (feature_list.json), it prevents the agent from losing track of goals during long-running or complex development sessions.

What is the difference between Strict and Recommended TDD modes?

Strict mode requires tests to be present before a task can be marked as done, while Recommended mode suggests tests without enforcing them as a hard requirement.

生产力与工作流

Initializes a feature-driven development structure for AI agents with automated task tracking and TDD enforcement.

The init-harness skill sets up a robust project management framework specifically designed for AI agents using agent-foreman. It creates a dedicated 'ai/' directory containing a feature backlog, progress logs, and a bootstrap script, enabling AI agents to track their own progress across long-running tasks. By establishing clear Test-Driven Development (TDD) protocols and automatically generating architecture documentation, it ensures AI-led development remains structured, verifiable, and aligned with project goals.
