# Harness agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Harness playbooks for AI agents: triage a failed Harness pipeline execution, audit Harness pipeline runs with AI. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the Harness connector safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/harness/skills/essentials.md): Confirms the account, organisation and project before reading, picks the right one of the 11 Harness tools, and asks for your explicit approval before anything changes or runs.
- [Triage a failed Harness pipeline execution](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/harness/skills/pipeline-execution-triage.md): Finds the first real step that failed in a Harness pipeline run, separates the root cause from the steps that were skipped as a result, and recommends a fix. It reports only and asks before rerunning, rolling back or changing anything.
- [Audit Harness pipeline runs with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/harness/skills/pipeline-run-audit.md): Reviews recent pipeline executions across a Harness project and produces a read-only health summary of repeated failures, slow stages and stale pipelines. It never reruns or changes anything without asking first.

## Install

- RevampKey: connect Harness at https://revampkey.com/marketplace/harness; the skills come with it.
- Any Agent Skills tool, into the current project:

```bash
for s in essentials pipeline-execution-triage pipeline-run-audit; do
  curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .agents/skills/harness-$s/SKILL.md https://revampkey.com/marketplace/harness/skills/$s/SKILL.md

```

### What is a Harness agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Harness skill describes one job, which Harness tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Harness skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Harness.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Harness; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Harness MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Harness MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Harness MCP setup guide covers every client.
