The canon

Canon · The books

Harness.

The executable layer that turns the prose canon into enforced behaviour on a Claude Code machine: the agent definitions, rule files, and skill contracts that mechanise doctrine.

source: canon/harness/ · 18 documents

Orients the harness folder itself: the executable second layer that mirrors live ~/.claude state and enforces the prose canon, with the prose-pointer convention every file must declare.

operating-notes.md

Operating notes

Mechanics and quirks of operating inside the harness: when a canon rule earns mechanisation, choosing hook primitives and effort tiers, the auto-memory reformatter, and recovering from config corruption.

skill-conventions.md

Skill conventions

Frontmatter contracts skills declare to opt into harness behaviours — the concurrency_class mutual-exclusion field, docs, and expects_personal — plus the prose-output completion-marker convention the session and commit-lifecycle skills follow.

The rules

rules/README.md

Orients the rules mirror: pointer-stubs Claude Code loads automatically on matching file paths to pull a session back into the prose layer, with the table mapping each rule to its prose home.

rules/app-store-connect.md

App Store Connect

Pointer-stub citing developer/app-store-connect.md, plus the marketplace skill that bundles the customer-reviews step for What's New copy.

rules/github.md

Cites developer/github-workflow.md and adds two live conventions: every pull request assigns the configured reviewer, and an assigned issue routes through the fix-issue workflow with test results reported before pushing.

rules/localization.md

Cites developer/localization.md and enforces the secondary-locale guarantee on Swift and xcstrings files: every entry ships a counterpart in the configured secondary locale, marked needs_review when unsure, never omitted.

Pointer-stub routing cp/mv guardrails to the reversibility invariant and UserDefaults discipline to code-shape's naming rules.

rules/shared-code.md

Cites developer/shared-code.md and names its firing condition: any change to a public or open symbol in a package that another module imports.

rules/swift-style.md

Pointer-stub for Swift files, routing concurrency and optional-binding style to code-shape and Swift Package Manager build mechanics to xcode-build.

rules/swiftui.md

Pointer-stub loading on Swift files, citing developer/swiftui.md.

rules/xcode-build.md

Pointer-stub citing developer/xcode-build.md.

The agents

agents/README.md

Orients the agents mirror: the shippable, portable subagent set, each definition declaring its prose home, with machine-local agents kept out in the personal overlay.

agents/i18n-rollout.md

The locale-cascade conductor: fires when the set of supported languages changes and returns a checklist spanning app, site, and App Store surfaces, plus structural flags for patterns that won't extend past two languages.

agents/per-language-reviewer-pattern.md

Per-language reviewer pattern

Not an agent but a portable pattern: the shape any secondary-language reviewer takes, auditing the public surfaces xcstrings never sees; welsh-reviewer is its first, personal-overlay instance.

agents/retention-lens.md

Re-frames proposed features, tickets, and copy through retention and acquisition lenses: a short prompt for the product-owner's thinking, never marketing copy.

agents/swift-code-reviewer.md

Swift code reviewer

The senior Swift and SwiftUI review agent: high-signal, actionable reviews of changed code, prioritising correctness, safety, maintainability, clarity, and architectural soundness in that order.

agents/ticket-framer.md

Translates raw intent into a ticket body in the voice fit for its tier (epics read at roadmap scale get the product-owner register, leaf tickets keep the dev voice); it translates, never decides what to file.
