A collection of structured AI agent skills that enable Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding assistants to create, operate, debug, and govern Harness CI/CD workflows through natural language.

Harness Skills

Claude Code skills for the Harness.io CI/CD platform. Generate pipeline YAML, manage resources, debug failures, analyze costs, and more from natural language.

This repository is designed as a workflow system, not just a folder of prompts. The top-level instructions (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .github/cursor-instructions.md) establish shared behavior, while individual skills specialize in creation, debugging, governance, and reporting tasks.

Prerequisites

Harness MCP v2 Server - required for MCP-powered skills. Most skills in this repo depend on it for Harness API access.

Setup

Claude Code

Clone the repo and run Claude Code from the project directory. Skills are automatically discovered from CLAUDE.md and skills/*/SKILL.md:

git clone https://github.com/harness/harness-skills.git
cd harness-skills
cursor

To add the Harness MCP server, configure it in your Claude Code settings (~/.cursor/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "harness-mcp-v2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "harness-mcp-v2"],
      "env": {
        "HARNESS_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Invoke skills by name:

/create-pipeline
Create a CI pipeline for a Node.js app that builds, runs tests,
and pushes a Docker image to ECR

Cursor

Clone the repo into your project or as a reference workspace:

git clone https://github.com/harness/harness-skills.git

The repo includes .cursor/rules/harness.mdc, which Cursor automatically loads as a project rule.
Configure the Harness MCP server in Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "harness-mcp-v2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "harness-mcp-v2"],
      "env": {
        "HARNESS_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
