template-usage

Cursor Skill

Track Harness template dependencies, usage, and adoption via MCP v2 tools. Find which pipelines or other templates reference a given template, analyze update impact, identify unused templates, and compare version adoption. Use when asked about template usage, template references, template dependencies, impact analysis before updating a template, finding unused templates, or tracking template adoption across projects. Trigger phrases: template usage, who uses template, template references, template dependencies, template impact, unused templates, template adoption. Do NOT use for creating or updating templates (use create-template instead).

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

analyze-costsAnalyze cloud costs, find optimization opportunities, and track anomalies using Harness CCM via MCP. Use when user says "cloud costs", "analyze costs", "cost optimization", "reduce spending", "cost report", or asks about cloud bills.

audit-reportGenerate audit reports and compliance trails using Harness audit trail data via MCP v2 tools. Track user actions, resource changes, authentication events, and access patterns across accounts, organizations, and projects. Use when asked to audit activity, generate compliance reports, investigate security incidents, review user actions, check change logs, or produce SOC2/GDPR/HIPAA audit evidence. 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. Use when asked to create an agent, update agent spec, modify agent configuration, automate tasks, perform agentic workflows, build autonomous systems, or work with AI agents. Trigger phrases: create agent, update agent, modify agent spec, AI agent, autonomous agent, agentic pipeline, automation task, automate workflow, Harness agent, code coverage agent, review agent, agentic task.

create-agent-templateGenerate Harness Agent Template files for AI-powered automation agents. Produces metadata.json, pipeline.yaml (v1 syntax), and wiki.MD files. Agents automate tasks like code review, security scanning, test generation, and documentation. This is a YAML generation skill. Use when asked to create an agent template, build an AI agent, create an automation agent, generate agent pipeline files, or set up a Harness agent. Trigger phrases: create agent template, agent template, AI agent, automation agent, build agent, code review agent, security scanner agent, Harness agent.
