# Scaffold repo-specific agent harnesses with Metaharness

Use Metaharness to score a repository, generate a branded agent harness with CLI, MCP, memory, and safety defaults, then package it for repeatable team use.

## Prerequisites

Node.js, npm/npx, Metaharness CLI or Studio, a target repository, and an optional supported agent host such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Hermes, pi.dev, RVM, Cursor, or GitHub Actions

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Run npx metaharness --wizard for guided setup, or generate directly with a command such as npx metaharness my-bot --template vertical:coding --host claude-code. Use the upstream host-specific @metaharness/* wrappers when a fixed target host is preferred.
