# Reference

12 primitives and 15 gates generated from source.

## ci

skill

`/ci`

Audit CI gates, strengthen weak coverage, then drive green. Harness Kit uses the Rust-owned local gate, not Dagger, as the canonical repo check: `cargo run --locked -p harness-kit-checks -- check --repo .`. Acts directly on mechanical fixes and never returns red without structured diagnosis. Use when: "run ci", "check ci", "fix ci", "audit ci", "is ci passing", "run the gates", "why is ci failing", "strengthen ci", "tighten ci", "ci is red", "gates failing". Trigger: /ci, /gates.

Reference

## code-review

skill

`/code-review`

Dispatch-shaped code review: fan the diff out to fresh-context reviewers across diverse providers and model families, synthesize, fix blockers, re-review until clean. Use when: "review this", "code review", "is this ready to ship", "second-model review". Trigger: /code-review, /review.

Reference

## deliver

skill

`/deliver`

Take one ticket or idea from raw intent to merge-ready (or shipped, when asked): context-first, docs→tests→code, live QA, refactor at three altitudes, semantic commits, diverse-provider review, adversarial pre-ship thinking. Use for "deliver this", "build this ticket", "make it merge-ready", "take this end to end". Trigger: /deliver.

Reference

## design

skill

`/design`

Artifact-backed interface critique and polish for hierarchy, typography, layout, density, IA, interaction feel, content, brand fit, and taste. Requires screenshot, URL, rendered artifact, or explicit file plus intent. Use when: "make this look better", "improve the design", "polish the UI", "critique this screen", "design pass", "art direction", "scaffold design", "prototype this", "show me a few options", "mock up variations", docs layout, report polish, generated diagrams/images, screenshots, decks, dashboards, charts, or any product-facing visual artifact. Trigger: /design, /prototype.

Reference

## diagnose

skill

`/diagnose`

Investigate, audit, triage, and fix. Systematic debugging, incident lifecycle, domain auditing, and issue logging. Feedback-loop-first protocol: reproduce or replay before root cause, pattern analysis, hypothesis test, and fix. Use for: any bug, test failure, production incident, error spikes, audit, triage, postmortem, "diagnose", "why is this broken", "debug this", "production down", "is production ok", "audit stripe", "log issues". Trigger: /diagnose.

Reference

## groom

skill

`/groom`

Always-on backlog grooming. Tidy, brainstorm, interrogate, investigate, research, and simplify in a single loop. Tidy is not a mode — it happens every time. Strategic-layer work is a deep multi-perspective brainstorm — parallel investigation, critique, and research lanes composed for the repo at hand — that lands an epic-scoped, ambitious backlog. Use when: "groom", "what should we build", "rethink this", "biggest opportunity", "backlog", "prioritize", "backlog session", "audit skills", "skill quality audit". Trigger: /groom, /groom audit, /backlog, /rethink, /moonshot, /scaffold.

Reference

## harness-engineering

skill

`/harness-engineering`

Harness engineering for Harness Kit primitives: skills, shared doctrine, provider roster, harness configs, gates, evals, bootstrap, and sync logic. Use for "improve the harness", "harness engineering", "bootstrap is wrong", "AGENTS.md is stale", "skill health", "skill usage", "undertriggering skill", "description tax", "eval skill", "sync primitives", "roster defaults". Trigger: /harness-engineering, /harness, /skill.

Reference

## qa

skill

`/qa`

Verify the running thing works. Browser walks for web, request replay for APIs, shell smoke for CLIs, consumer builds for libraries, tool-call replay for MCP. "Tests pass" is not QA. Use when: "run QA", "verify the feature", "test this", "check the app", "smoke test", "exploratory test", "capture evidence". Trigger: /qa.

Reference

## research

skill

`/research`

Web research, multi-AI delegation, and multi-perspective validation. /research [query], /research delegate [task], /research thinktank [topic]. Use when: "search for", "look up", "research", "delegate", "get perspectives", "web search", "find out", "investigate", "introspect", "check readwise", "saved articles", "reading list", "what are people saying", "X search", "trending", "which model", "compare models", "best model for", "model selection".

Reference

## roster

skill

`/roster`

Enumerates the peer AI agent CLIs installed on this machine (codex, claude, pi, opencode, cursor-agent, grok, agy, hermes, thinktank) and how to invoke each headlessly. A capability map, not a quota: useful for fresh-context adversarial review on a different model family, second opinions, competing attempts, and wide benches. Use when: "ask codex", "ask another model", "second opinion", "cross-model review", "what AI tools do I have", "other agents", "different model family", "adversarial critique from another provider". Trigger: /roster.

Reference

## shape

skill

`/shape`

Shape a raw idea into something buildable. Product + technical exploration. Spec, design, critique, plan. Output is a context packet. Use when: "shape this", "write a spec", "design this feature", "plan this", "spec out", "context packet", "technical design". Trigger: /shape, /spec, /plan, /cp.

Reference

## sprites

skill

`/sprites`

Run lane cards on Fly Sprites: remote, isolated, scale-to-zero sandboxes for heavy or parallel agent work. Golden-checkpoint provisioning so lanes start on a ready sprite with zero setup tokens. Use when: "run this on a sprite", "remote lane", "offload to a sandbox", "dispatch to sprites", "bake a sprite", "sprite fleet", heavy/long-running/parallel sub-agent work that should not run on this machine. Trigger: /sprites, /sprite-lane.
