Audit and deploy cross-agent extensions with HarnessKit
Use HarnessKit to inventory, audit, enable, disable, and deploy skills, MCP servers, plugins, hooks, CLIs, configs, memory, and rules across multiple coding agents.

hk status, run hk audit for extension trust findings, use hk list --kind skill --agent to inspect installed skills, and use hk serve for the local web UI when managing headless or remote machines.Use HarnessKit when an agent operator needs to manage extension and configuration drift across several AI coding agents from one local control surface. The workflow is to inventory installed skills, MCP servers, plugins, hooks, CLIs, configs, memory, rules, subagents, and ignore files; inspect permissions and trust findings; enable or disable risky extensions; deploy missing extensions to target agents; and package reusable kits for projects or machines. Invoke this instead of opening each agent normally when the task is cross-agent setup, audit, migration, or repeatable project provisioning across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, and similar agents. The boundary is local cross-agent extension/config visibility, security review, native-path management, and kit deployment through the `hk` CLI or HarnessKit UI; it is not a replacement for using the agents themselves.
What this skill actually does
Inputs and prerequisites: HarnessKit `hk` CLI or desktop app, at least one supported AI coding agent, access to the local agent config and extension directories, and optional project directories for scoped management.
Setup notes: Download the current HarnessKit desktop app or CLI binary from the GitHub releases page, or review the upstream install script before running it. Use `hk status` to inventory agents, `hk list –kind skill –agent ` to filter extensions, `hk audit` to inspect trust findings, `hk enable` or `hk disable` to manage extensions, and `hk serve` when a local web UI is preferred.
Source and verification boundary: use https://github.com/RealZST/HarnessKit as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep CLI actions, local file changes, and generated kits reviewable against the upstream README and release artifacts.
Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow because HarnessKit is explicitly designed to manage multiple agent runtimes and extension formats, while the approved skill stays focused on cross-agent extension/config operations.
