Documentation

README

Excerpt

Harness doctor — is the harness healthy?

Confirm the harness is wired correctly, in plain language, with a concrete fix per finding.

When this fires

"is my harness set up right / healthy?" / "harness doctor" / after an install or a --self-update.

Identify the target

Use the agent named by the operator or the explicit AGENTSMITH_AGENT value. Never infer the active agent from this skill's install path: portable canonical content may be copied into a required client adapter such as .claude/skills. Without an explicit agent, run the common project checks and label agent-specific capabilities as unknown.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
