Naive Harness Kit — Development skill for Claude Code

Welcome to NHK: Naive Harness Kit

**English** | [中文](README_CN.md)

NHK is a prompt-first starter kit for people who want a usable agent workspace harness without becoming full-time harness engineers first.

It is intentionally a little humble, a little self-aware, and very practical. The point is not to look clever. The point is to help you get the good tools in place, wire them together sanely, and keep a Codex or Claude Code workspace from turning into a vague little document swamp.

What NHK Is

NHK helps with five recurring jobs that show up surprisingly fast once you start using coding agents seriously:

• getting the useful workflow tools in place, especially superpowers and planning-with-files
• lazily but safely initializing the right workspace instruction file for the current agent environment
• keeping the workspace's routing, planning, worker, recovery, and governance notes aligned with reality
• deciding whether a workstream should stay active or move to archive
• doing all of that with explicit prompts instead of opaque hooks

In other words, NHK is not trying to be magic. It is trying to be the slightly fussy friend who says: yes, let's make this easier, but let's also write the rules down so future-you is not stuck deciphering agent vibes.

This kit is for beginners, lazy pragmatists, and anyone who would rather ship than hand-roll a custom agent harness from scratch.

What Is Included

NHK ships with four focused skills:

• welcome-to-nhk: the first-stop router
