About

harness-kit is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by romabeckman. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). We first saw it on 2026-10-11 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-12.

In its own words, on Claude Code: claude-plugins-community:

HarnessKit is a professional-grade engineering framework that empowers AI agents with a robust 'harness' of structured controls and specialized personas. Built on the principles of Harness Engineering, it enforces a disciplined development workflow—from domain-driven scope refinement to strict TDD implementation and Socratic technical reviews—ensuring your AI assistant maintains architectural integrity, comprehensive test coverage, and persistent project memory throughout the entire software lifecycle.

What it asks for

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.

Is this your plugin?

Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.

Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
