- 23 days oldThe repository was created 23 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Maintain concise, canonical, English developer documentation in README.md and docs/. Use when documenting a project change, architecture, module, setup, command, workflow, contract, or stable decision, or when reorganizing documentation and removing stale or duplicate guidance.

Harness Docs Maintain
Update the narrowest canonical document affected by the change. Documentation must describe verified current behavior, not the implementation process or agent conversation.
Procedure
- Read
docs/index.md, then only the documents routed for the affected subject. - Verify each claim against source, configuration, tests, or an explicit user decision.
- Update the narrowest canonical file. Create
docs/modules/<subject>.mdwhen a bounded topic would make a macro document harder to scan. - Update
docs/index.mdwhen adding, moving, renaming, or removing a document. - Remove or replace stale and duplicate guidance in the same change.
- Use
harness-artifactfor a final user-facing HTML visualization. Keep drafts in the Harness workspace. - Run
harness-docs-auditafter structural changes.
Placement
- Use
README.mdfor the project entry point and first-run path. - Use
docs/project.mdfor product purpose, scope, concepts, and boundaries. - Use
docs/architecture.mdfor cross-cutting structure, components, data flow, and invariants. - Use
docs/development.mdfor setup, commands, testing, and contributor workflow. - Use
docs/modules/*.mdfor focused subsystem behavior and contracts. - Use
docs/artifacts/*.htmlonly for final user-facing visualizations and list them indocs/artifacts/index.md.
Writing Rules
- Write in English, even when the request is in another language.
- Use simple, objective, coherent, and concise language.
- Prefer active voice, short sentences, descriptive headings, and one main idea per paragraph.
- Keep names, paths, commands, constraints, and ownership explicit.
- Avoid marketing language, decorative prose, raw investigation logs, and repeated explanations.
- Prefer a compact table for exact mappings. Use Mermaid only for meaningful multi-component relationships or sequences.
- Mark uncertainty and verify it before presenting it as fact.
- Keep operational memory, session state, drafts, and provisional decisions in the Harness, not in versioned documentation.
