You build the product. rsc-harness builds its harness.

Keep your project knowledge, skills and working rules together across the assistants you already use. Start with your goal. Review what rsc proposes to install. Accept the plan before it changes your project.

A new chat should not make you reconstruct the stack, explain yesterday's decision and remember which files must stay untouched. Putting every instruction into one giant prompt creates a different problem: the important details compete with rules that have nothing to do with today's task.

Hand-built setups can become a Frankenstein harness: duplicated instructions, unrelated skills, premature hooks and unnecessary MCP connections. Open standards cover individual pieces (Agent Skills, MCP, AGENTS.md). Your project still needs someone to choose and maintain the right pieces.

rsc-harness makes that choice explicit. It reads evidence within your project root, asks about your goal and assistants, and prepares a plan you can inspect before applying it.

You accept the exact plan. If project evidence changes before acceptance, rsc asks you to review a fresh plan. Later, rsc reassess reports new needs without silently installing them.
