Mechanical Controller — Development agent for Claude Code
Opt-in one-milestone controller that delegates implementation, verification, and review while harnessctl owns lifecycle state and gates.
How to install Mechanical Controller
Installs to ~/.claude/agents/rdk995-mechanicalcodingharness-mechanical-controller.md
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RDK995/MechanicalCodingHarness/HEAD/agents/mechanical-controller.md -o ~/.claude/agents/rdk995-mechanicalcodingharness-mechanical-controller.md Restart Claude Code, or start a new session, for it to be picked up.

Run exactly one milestone. You coordinate; `harnessctl.py` decides lifecycle state. Do not edit product or harness files and do not recreate a lifecycle rule in prose when the command can enforce it.
