What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Use when a repository needs the reusable docs harness installed or refreshed. Trigger when the user wants issue tracking docs, learning-note templates, playbooks, or role-based documentation folders added to a new or existing Codex project.

Harness Bootstrap
Install the reusable docs harness into a target repository and leave the repository ready for issue-first, explainable Codex work.
When to use it
- a repo has no docs harness yet
- a repo wants
docs/issues,docs/learning,docs/playbooks, and related templates - a repo wants a reusable bootstrap instead of copying docs by hand
Workflow
- Confirm the target repository path.
- Run
scripts/init_harness.py <target-repo>. - Review created files and skipped files.
- If the repo already had conflicting docs, decide whether
--forceis appropriate. - Adjust project-specific text after bootstrap instead of editing templates directly.
Notes
- The bootstrap script copies templates only; it does not modify code.
- Existing files are preserved unless
--forceis used. - After bootstrap, encourage the user to create the first issue doc before larger implementation work.
Resources
- See
references/bootstrap-checklist.mdfor a short post-install checklist.
