Tempo HarnessA robust, self-improving harness for Claude Code.

More than an authored layer on top of Claude — a disciplined engineering system. It shapes fuzzy ideas into specs, ships them one gated commit at a time behind surface-then-confirm guardrails, and captures what each task learns into a durable memory the next one reads first — auditing its own five pillars to keep getting better. Claude Code is the runtime; the harness is what makes an agent reliably useful here, not just generically capable.

The philosophy

How the Tempo harness is built — and why. Begin with the Overview, then dig deeper.

OverviewThe north star — the closed loop, the five pillars, the spine.The five pillarsContext, tools, memory, guardrails, specialists.GuardrailsOnion-ordered surface-then-confirm, the gate, circuit-breakers.GatesCheckpoints you pass only on proof — tokens, the quality gate, the independence gate.SecurityThe posture, the crown jewel, severity-by-evidence, the gate split by decidability.Agents & specialistsIsolation for independence, read-only judges, synthesis.MemoryLearnings as durable memory, and the graduation pipeline.Anatomy of a skillEvery part of a skill, and the why behind it.BrainstormingThe double diamond, the blind passes, and how each piece is wired.

This dashboard is generated from the repository — every reference page is rendered straight from .claude/ and docs/ at build time, so it can't drift from the real harness. It's view-only, and the built dist/ is a self-contained static bundle you can zip and share.
