# Harness Onboarding Documentation
## Overview
HARNESS.md is written for agents and experienced team members.
New contributors need something different — a friendly, practical
guide that explains "here's how we work" without requiring them to
parse constraint definitions and GC rule syntax.
This skill generates `ONBOARDING.md` from three sources the project
already maintains. No new data entry is needed — the onboarding
document is a human-readable projection of existing harness state.

## Sources
| Source | What it contributes |
| --- | --- |
| HARNESS.md | Stack, conventions, constraints, GC rules, observability cadence |
| AGENTS.md | Gotchas, architecture decisions, test strategy, design decisions |
| REFLECTION_LOG.md | Recent surprises with `context` or `workflow` signal |
HARNESS.md, AGENTS.md, and REFLECTION_LOG.md are the single source
of truth. Sync is one-way only — these files drive ONBOARDING.md.
The generated document is never edited directly.

## Tone
Write for a human who just joined the team and needs to ship their
first PR. The reader is a skilled developer who knows nothing about
this specific project.
- **Friendly, not formal.** "We use markdownlint to keep files
consistent" not "All markdown files must pass markdownlint."
- **Practical, not theoretical.** Focus on what the contributor
needs to do, not why the framework exists.
- **Grouped by action.** Constraints grouped by when they fire
(commit-time, PR-time), not by enforcement t
