Documentation

README

Excerpt

Harness help — get oriented

Explain, in plain language with no jargon, what this harness does for the operator and what to do next. This is the non-coder's front door.

When this fires

"what is this harness / what does it do?" / "what are my rules?" / "which profile am I on?" / "what do I type next?" / a general "help me get started here".

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 a declared agent, explain the common rules and label agent-specific safety configuration as unknown.

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