SKILL

Surfaces the upstream metaharness score CLI as a ruflo skill. Use when Claude Code needs to assess whether a repo is ready for harness adoption before recommending the user run npx ruflo init or harness-mint.

Algorithm

Implementation: scripts/score.mjs.

1. Shell out to npx metaharness score <path> --json (single subprocess, 60s hard timeout).
2. Parse the JSON shape: { harnessFit, compileConfidence, taskCoverage, toolSafety, memoryUsefulness, estCostPerRunUsd, recommendedMode, archetype, template, scaffoldReady, hardConstraints }.
3. If --alert-on-fit-below N: exit 1 when harnessFit < N.
4. Output JSON (default) or markdown table.

Phase-0 baseline (ruflo's own scorecard, measured 2026-06-16)

Ruflo passes its own readiness check. memoryUsefulness: 40 is the weakest dimension — track this as a leading indicator for future memory work in the AgentDB layer.

CI integration

node plugins/ruflo-metaharness/scripts/score.mjs --alert-on-fit-below 70 --format json

Exit 1 fails the build. Pair with harness-genome for the full 7-section view.

Graceful degradation (ADR-150 architectural constraint rule #3)

When metaharness is not installed and npx can't fetch it (offline, no network, registry unreachable), the script emits:

{
  "degraded": true,
  "reason": "metaharness-not-available",
  "hint": "Install metaharness manually with `npm i -D metaharness` or run `npx metaharness@latest --version` to verify network access."
}

and exits 0. Ruflo continues to function — this is the architectural constraint in action.
