At a Glance
About agent-harness-kit
agent-harness-kit (ahk) is a CLI tool that auto-scaffolds a complete multi-agent coordination harness for any code repository. With a single npx command, it generates AGENTS.md, typed config files, database schemas, per-agent instruction files, and a health script. It supports SQLite (zero native deps), PostgreSQL, and MySQL out of the box, and ships with a built-in MCP server exposing 12 tools for task management, action tracking, and doc search.
- One-command setup — run
npx @cardor/agent-harness-kit initin any project root; answer prompts or pass flags to skip them entirely. - Four specialized agents — Lead (orchestrator), Explorer (read-only), Builder (writes src/), and Reviewer (gatekeeper) coordinate automatically with explicit permission boundaries.
- SQLite by default — uses
node:sqlite(Node 22+) orbun:sqlitewith zero native dependencies; switch to PostgreSQL or MySQL with one config line. - 12 MCP tools — agents call
tasks.getList,tasks.claim,tasks.add,actions.start,actions.write,docs.search, and more instead of reading files directly. - Real-time dashboard —
ahk dashboardlaunches a web UI with WebSocket updates showing agent activity, file touches, and tool calls. - Multi-provider support — works with Claude Code and OpenCode; additional providers on the roadmap.
- Task adapters — local task list supported now; Jira, Linear, and GitHub Issues adapters planned.
- TypeScript config — full type safety on all generated configuration files.
- Global installation — install once and share a single harness across all projects.
- MIT License — open source, free to use and modify.
