setup-codebase-harness
Master skill — set up the full agent harness for any repo so an agent can work it reliably: legible (map-not-manual docs + custom lints), executable (one-command dev stack), verifiable (e2e gate + a verify-before-ship loop), plus commit hygiene and entropy control. Use when onboarding a new/unfamiliar codebase to agent-driven development — "set up the harness", "make this repo agent-ready", "harness this codebase".
