🎬 Initialize Harness

Run the initializer agent to set up the autonomous coding harness.

When to Use

Use this prompt once after running /harness-setup:

1. ✅ You've run /harness-setup wizard
2. ✅ Archon project was created
3. ✅ Application specification is stored
4. ⬜ Feature tasks need to be generated

What Initialization Does

The harness-initializer agent will:

1. Read Application Specification

From Archon documents (created during setup)

2. Generate Feature Tasks

Creates 20-50 detailed tasks in Archon based on the spec:

• Clear acceptance criteria
• Test steps for verification
• Priority ordering
• Feature grouping

3. Set Up Project Structure

Creates appropriate directories:

src/
tests/
docs/
.harness/

4. Initialize Environment

Runs init.sh to set up dependencies.

5. Initialize Git

Creates initial commit with project structure.

6. Create Handoff Notes

Updates Archon session notes for coding agent.

Timing Expectations

⏱️ This takes 5-15 minutes depending on spec complexity.

The agent is generating detailed tasks - it may appear slow but is working.

After Initialization

When complete, you'll have:

• Feature tasks in Archon (view with /harness-status)
• Project structure created
• Git repository initialized
• Ready for coding sessions

Then run:

/harness-next   # Start first coding session
