## What buddy-agent-harness does, in the publisher's words

An agent plugin and CLI for initializing or updating a consumer repository's standards-based agent configuration across agent harnesses.

In Claude Code, add the cyberplace marketplace and install the plugin and its init skill:

init runs behind the init skill, which sorts the configuration you already wrote before the command links anything. Install the package alongside repobuddy to mount every command on buddy, as buddy agent-harness doctor, buddy agent-harness init, and buddy agent-harness dep-plugins.

## Skills

- doctor-buddy-agent-harness
- enhance: Use this skill when a repository already has an AGENTS.md and you want to add guidance it is missing, offering vetted sections one at a time and writing only what the user approves. Runs on its own or straight after init.
- init-buddy-agent-harness
- reference
- repair: Use this skill when a repository's agent configuration is present but wrong or outdated, a retired harness name, a git-ignored bridge, an AGENTS.local.md nothing reads, or a skill a harness refuses to load. Runs doctor to find them, then offers each correction with its before and after and writes…
