Description
Force Harness mode for task decomposition, routing, package-first execution, and verifier-first completion evidence.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a coherent, low-technical-risk set of workflow rules (no code, no creds). Before enabling it for agents, confirm what your agent will do to satisfy vague items like TASK_ROUTING_MATRIX and Verifier evidence (will it call external project systems, create accounts, or request sensitive files?). Test in a sandbox, confirm verifier roles/processes exist in your org, and decide whether to permit autonomous runs for this policy or require manual approval when the agent attempts package creation or dispatch.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: using-harness
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle defines a structured workflow ('Harness mode') for task decomposition, routing, and verification. The instructions in SKILL.md are purely procedural, focusing on governance and process management without any executable code, network requests, or attempts to access sensitive system resources.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (enforce a harness-style workflow) matches the SKILL.md content: procedural rules about locking task objects, routing, packaging, and verifier evidence. The skill declares no binaries, env vars, or installs — which is proportionate for a policy/instruction-only skill.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md is entirely procedural and does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, or call external endpoints. However, the instructions are high-level and refer to external artifacts (TASK_ROUTING_MATRIX, Task/Verifier Package) without defining how to obtain them; that vagueness gives the agent operational discretion (it may query external systems or ask for context) — something to be aware of but not inherently malicious.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present. This instruction-only format minimizes disk footprint and supply-chain risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is no apparent need for elevated access given the skill's stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent presence or modify other skills/system settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but is not elevated by this skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install using-harness - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/using-harness - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
