Item detail

001TMF/harness-forge

harness-forge is an MIT-licensed Claude Code meta-skill that turns Claude Code into its own meta-harness: a skill that evolves the scaffolding around a fixed model (memory, retrieval, tool surface) without rewriting the model itself. It is the first project that treats the harness around Claude Code as the thing to be versioned, and ships install.sh and a Claude-plugin manifest so the meta-harness
