Follow CONTRIBUTING.md and the component's instructions. For validation and shipping, use docs/validation-and-release.md. For product names, terminology, and visible copy, follow the Naming System. - Measure the user's request through completion. Record implementation, validation, merge, publication, and waiting separately; an Actions duration is not the total. - Choose the necessary checks before starting them. Run affected tests and relevant integration checks; use full suites for broad changes. Start independent checks together within the machine's capacity. Do not add a second full…

autonomous-harness / cli

autonomous-ai/autonomous-harness/cli/AGENTS.md

Read this before changing anything under cli/. The repository-wide process rules (validation, merging, releases) are in ../AGENTS.md. The design, and why, is in ../docs/design/2026-10-03-harnessd.md. The one-page picture for new contributors is ../docs/design/2026-10-04-harnessd-before-after.md. The master runs the core and every service process (SERVICE_HOSTS in src/harnessd/services.ts). Each service process runs one or more services, each on its own link to the core. In Activity Monitor and ps they show as harnessd, harnessd-core and harnessd-<process> (src/harnessd/processName.ts). HARNESSDSERVICES names a subset to run in…

autonomous-ai/autonomous-harness/desktop/AGENTS.md

Use CLAUDE.md for architecture, build commands, and testing. For DSH dashboards, follow the DSH workspace contract: 70% viewer on the left, 30% real agent chat on the right, including loading, missing dependencies, failures, retries, and restoration. Reserve the chat slot before startup; never let an unavailable conversation become a full-width viewer. The Swarm's Your devices is a dashboard-only exception: fill its center pane, keep the sidebars visible, and do not start or reserve a Devices conversation. Standalone Devices retains its…

Before creating or changing a DSH, read the authoring guide and the DSH workspace contract. A DSH dashboard always has the real agent chat to its right, initially 70% viewer and 30% chat. Loading or failed setup must keep that chat slot and show recovery there. Verify the whole workspace, including failures, rather than only the viewer. Package AGENTS.md files describe the materialized agent's job; they do not replace this desktop integration contract.
