Assess Codebase Harness Readiness Score

v20260707
harness-score
This skill executes the metaharness score to provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional readiness scorecard for a codebase. It assesses critical dimensions like compilation confidence, task coverage, tool safety, and memory usefulness. Use it to evaluate if a repository is prepared for harness adoption before initiating development tools or framework setup.

Overview

Surfaces the upstream metaharness score CLI as a ruflo skill. Use when Claude Code needs to assess whether a repo is ready for harness adoption before recommending the user run npx ruflo init or harness-mint.

Algorithm

Implementation: scripts/score.mjs.

  1. Shell out to npx metaharness score <path> --json (single subprocess, 60s hard timeout).
  2. Parse the JSON shape: { harnessFit, compileConfidence, taskCoverage, toolSafety, memoryUsefulness, estCostPerRunUsd, recommendedMode, archetype, template, scaffoldReady, hardConstraints }.
  3. If --alert-on-fit-below N: exit 1 when harnessFit < N.
  4. Output JSON (default) or markdown table.

Phase-0 baseline (ruflo's own scorecard, measured 2026-06-16)

Dimension Value
harnessFit 82/100
compileConfidence 100
taskCoverage 79
toolSafety 100
memoryUsefulness 40
estCostPerRunUsd $0.048
recommendedMode CLI + MCP
archetype typescript-sdk-harness
template vertical:coding
scaffoldReady true

Ruflo passes its own readiness check. memoryUsefulness: 40 is the weakest dimension — track this as a leading indicator for future memory work in the AgentDB layer.

CI integration

node plugins/ruflo-metaharness/scripts/score.mjs --alert-on-fit-below 70 --format json

Exit 1 fails the build. Pair with harness-genome for the full 7-section view.

Graceful degradation (ADR-150 architectural constraint rule #3)

When metaharness is not installed and npx can't fetch it (offline, no network, registry unreachable), the script emits:

{
  "degraded": true,
  "reason": "metaharness-not-available",
  "hint": "Install with `npm i -D metaharness@~0.3.0` (pinned range — this plugin never fetches @latest) or verify network access for the one-time cache install."
}

and exits 0. Ruflo continues to function — this is the architectural constraint in action.
