create-pipeline-v1

Cursor Skill

Generate Harness v1 simplified Pipeline YAML using the new concise syntax with flat structure, ${{ }} expressions, script field, and action steps. Supports CI stages (run, run-test, background), CD stages (service/environment with action steps for K8s, Helm, ECS), approval (stage-level and inline), parallel execution, matrix/for/while strategies, caching, volumes, and templates. Use when asked for a v1 pipeline, simplified pipeline, new pipeline format, or when user specifically requests v1 syntax. Do NOT use for v0/standard pipelines (use create-pipeline). Trigger phrases: v1 pipeline, simplified pipeline, new pipeline format, create v1, modern pipeline syntax.

Harness Skills + Harness MCP server packaged as a Cursor plugin. Build, debug, deploy, and govern via Harness from Cursor.

Trigger phrases: audit report, audit trail, compliance audit, user activity log, change log, access audit, security investigation, who changed what, audit events.

chaos-experimentCreate and manage chaos experiments using Harness Chaos Engineering via MCP. Run resilience tests like pod deletion, CPU stress, and network faults. Use when user says "chaos experiment", "chaos engineering", "resilience test", "chaos test", or wants to test system reliability.

create-agentCreate and update Harness AI agent instances for automated code and infrastructure tasks. Supports multi-stage execution, MCP server integration, LLM connector configuration, runtime inputs, repository cloning, and task/rules-based instruction.
