harness-adapters

This is the one skill, trigger, and routing owner for harness-specific Firstmate operations. Load this router first, then exactly the common reference and one harness reference selected below. When an action spans rows, load the union once rather than every reference. Files under references/ are resources of this skill, not additional catalogued skills.

Path contract

The skill directory is the directory containing this SKILL.md. Resolve on-demand reference links and relative links to their executable, documentation, or sibling-skill owners against the skill directory, including links named by a nested reference. Operational paths keep the context named by their owner: config/ and active-home settings belong to the active Firstmate home, state/ belongs to that home, and project settings such as .claude/settings.json belong to the target project.

Non-negotiable safety

Never dispatch a crewmate or secondmate on an unverified adapter. If config/crew-harness or config/secondmate-harness names one, tell the captain under ../../../AGENTS.md section 9 that the requested worker runtime is not verified, use firstmate's own verified runtime for current work, and ask only whether to verify the requested runtime for future work. Do not pause current work for that choice.

On unknown, ask the captain instead of guessing. A current captain override beats detection, while a per-task override governs only that dispatch. For recovery and control, use the exact harness= in state/<id>.meta; never infer it from a model or provider.

Deliver lifecycle actions only through ../../../bin/fm-control.sh <task-id> interrupt|exit|relaunch. Never type an interrupt key or exit command through fm-send, where routing-marked lifecycle text becomes chat. Trust handling is complete only when inspection proves the target started processing its instructions; delivery success alone is not proof. Muse and Gemini are verified only for crewmate and scout work, never a secondmate or primary.

Detection

../../../bin/fm-harness.sh prints firstmate's own harness from verified environment markers, then process ancestry. Only FM_PI_HARNESS=pi-signed at the launch boundary together with PI_CODING_AGENT=true selects Pi-signed; shared unmarked launcher ancestry remains Pi. omp publishes no marker of its own; FM_OMP_HARNESS=omp is Firstmate's launch marker and the anchored process name omp is its ancestry evidence, as references/harness/omp.md records. ../../../bin/fm-spawn.sh owns worker marker establishment, while the README launch command owns the signed-primary boundary. ../../../bin/fm-harness.sh crew resolves config/crew-harness, where absent or default means firstmate's own harness. ../../../bin/fm-harness.sh secondmate resolves config/secondmate-harness -> config/crew-harness -> firstmate's own harness. ../../../bin/fm-spawn.sh re-resolves on every spawn, and an explicit per-spawn argument wins for that spawn. A new adapter's verified marker and command name must land in ../../../bin/fm-harness.sh.

Operation-to-reference matrix

Every emitted plan appends the selected or recorded harness reference after the named common references. The harness-adapter-routing-v1 object is the machine-readable and human-visible selection contract: choose the operation, choose the scenario within it, then append the selected harness reference. default is the normal scenario when no narrower scenario applies. Kimi establishes its unsupported primary boundary in its selected harness reference; Muse and Gemini follow Non-negotiable safety above. A new tool remains undispatchable until the verify plan, its harness entry, every named owner, and the live checks land.
