Adds leanharness to Harnesses & orchestration → Agent infrastructure.

What it is: a zero-dependency npx installer that drops a ten-file Claude Code harness into a repo — a four-rule CLAUDE.md, credential deny rules in settings.json, a Stop hook that refuses "done" without verification proof, two skills, and three subagents. It also writes AGENTS.md, so Codex/Cursor/Gemini CLI read the same rules.

Why it may be interesting here: it is sized against the instruction budget rather than filled. The author published the run behind that claim — the same four hostile prompts against three setups, headless: 4/4 passed with the harness, 1/4 with no harness, 3/4 with a ~300-line instruction file that cost ~2.4× the always-loaded tokens. Write-up: A 129-rule CLAUDE.md replied like an empty one. It is an experiment, not a benchmark, and the post says so.

Against the inclusion criteria:

  • CLI / terminal interface — yes, npx leanharness, no IDE requirement.
  • Reads/writes code and runs commands — it writes agent-config files and installs a Stop hook that gates task completion; it is infrastructure for a coding agent rather than an agent itself, which is what this subsection collects (cf. Project Tiny Context Harness, OSOP, Hivelore).
  • Valid, active project — v0.6.1 on npm, published 2026-07-18, ~1.2k downloads to date. MIT.

Placement: entries are star-sorted, and this one is at ⭐ 0 on GitHub, so I put it last in the section. Happy to move, reword, or shorten it to one line — or to close this if a 0-star entry is below the bar for the list.

Disclosure: I am the author of leanharness, and this PR was prepared with Claude Code.
