Everything about the harness

The scanner, the setup interview, the skills catalog, the config reference, and the reasoning behind all of it. Start with a read-only scan: npx @paniolo/cli scan .

paniolo scan

Overview

The AI technical-debt scanner — a free, diagnostic-only CLI that scores your repo's agent harness. No writes, no account, no config required.

Guide

Quick start, install matrix, report reference, scoring tiers, and a CI cookbook.

Research

Every scanner feature traced to the paper and statistic behind it.

Calibration

Published threshold derivations — weak, normal, and mature anchors for each score.

Compare

A factual comparison with AgentLint, agnix, and AgentLinter — including what each does better.

Setup

paniolo init

Create, adopt, or connect a harness around the repos you already have — a guided interview, a dry run before anything changes, and every answer repeatable as a flag.

Config reference

The paniolo.config.json every command reads — leaf and harness forms, repoDefaults, repoTypes, and precedence.

Agent surface

Skills

The skills catalog — audit, remediation, and setup skills plus the engineering library. One install covers every skill-capable agent.

Why

Methodology

The knowledge base as source code, the AHE evolution loop, core principles, and the three-layer model.
