fix(agents): point harness-optimizer at eval-harness instead of missing skill - #2633
Conversation
…ng skill agents/harness-optimizer.md told Claude to run /harness-audit as if it were a skill under skills/, but /harness-audit is a command backed by scripts/harness-audit.js, and subagents cannot invoke slash commands during their own run. Rework the agent's workflow and output contract to follow skills/eval-harness/SKILL.md's own methodology (EVAL DEFINITION/EVAL REPORT, Grader Types, pass@k/pass^k) instead of an ad-hoc scorecard, and restructure the body to match the agent template in CONTRIBUTING.md (Your Role, Workflow steps, Output Format, Examples).

The PR addresses a missing or misaligned reference in the harness-optimizer.md, updating the description to correctly point to the eval-harness skill. These changes provide a clearer, more accurate context about the functionality by referencing eval-driven grading metrics, which improves clarity and ties the agent to relevant skills. The edits align with contribution guidelines, and the patch seems self-contained and non-breaking. Nicely done!
…r changes Addresses CodeRabbit review findings on PR affaan-m#2633: security-sensitive diffs must stay BLOCKED until a human explicitly approves (no more SHIP IT on flagged-but-unreviewed changes), and Step 2/3 now snapshot the pre-change state and auto-restore it if the audit or test suite fails, so a failed run never leaves the harness partially modified.

Enforce the TDD and coverage gates.
The workflow runs tests after edits, but it does not require a RED test before implementation or enforce at least 80% coverage. Passing node tests/run-all.js alone can produce a successful report that violates the repository acceptance criteria.
Add the pre-change test/eval step. Treat coverage below 80% as a Code-Based failure. Include the coverage result in EVAL REPORT.
As per coding guidelines, write tests before implementation, follow the RED-GREEN-IMPROVE TDD workflow, and maintain at least 80% coverage.

Thank you for the careful follow-up, and sorry for the wait. This now fixes the missing slash-command assumption, anchors optimization in the existing eval-harness contract, keeps changes scoped and reversible, and requires human approval for security-sensitive results. I verified Markdown lint, agent validation, the documented harness-audit.js repo --format json entry point, JSON output, and diff cleanliness at the exact head cc9b204. This is ready to merge after the exact-main and PR-head gates are green.

Thank you again for fixing the broken slash-command assumption and grounding this agent in the eval-harness contract. During final integration I found one small ambiguity: the prompt requested pass@3 and pass^3 without requiring three trials. I pushed a maintainer follow-up that names the exact grader command, requires three independent capability trials, requires all three safety-critical regression trials to pass, and records every result. Markdown lint, agent validation, the harness audit JSON entry point, and diff checks pass. Once the refreshed PR checks are green, this is ready for the serial main merge gate. |

A safety-critical regression for prompt-injection resilience, tool permissions, destructive-action guards, or secret exfiltration can avoid pass^3 when it is not implemented as a hook.

Rollback snapshots omit untracked files
The suggested git diff and git stash create snapshots do not capture untracked paths. If verification fails and cleanup is needed, a pre-existing untracked harness file cannot be restored exactly and may be removed by destructive cleanup. Use a snapshot method that explicitly includes untracked paths and document its restoration command.
Rule Used: Review for prompt injection, tool-permission creep... (source)
Artifacts
Reproduction script for tracked and untracked Git snapshot restoration
- An authored isolated-Git test script creates a tracked edit and pre-existing untracked harness file, exercises default and include-untracked snapshot paths, and asserts restoration results; it provides the repeatable proof procedure.
Default git diff and git stash create omit the untracked harness file
- Output from the default snapshot failure-path run shows only tracked.txt in both the diff and stash tree, then confirms cleanup left the untracked harness file unrestored; the documented default path is destructive for that file.
Include-untracked stash restores the tracked edit and untracked harness file
- Output from the include-untracked comparison run confirms the restored worktree contains both the tracked edit and harness-untracked.txt; explicit untracked-file capture preserves exact restoration.

Example skips required repeated trials
The example reports only pass@1, even though Step 3 requires three independent capability trials, recording every result, before reporting pass@3. Following this example permits a reliability claim without the repeated evaluation the workflow requires. Record three trial outcomes in the example and report pass@3.
Artifacts
Focused reporting-rule validation source
- Authored Python source reads the specified instruction lines and evaluates the example and compliant control report against the three-trial pass@3 rule; it provides executable validation evidence.
Example output fails the mandatory three-trial reporting rule
- Captured command output for the actual line-55 example shows zero recorded trials, pass@1, no pass@3, and a noncompliant result; the example is not permitted by line 39.
Three-trial pass@3 control report satisfies the reporting rule
- Captured command output for a comparable report with three recorded passing trials and pass@3 succeeds; this confirms the rule scope and required reporting shape.
