own
Run grilling or brainstorming in ownership mode. The owner answers each big decision first, then sees the agent's recommendation and a counter-argument. Use when the owner types /harness:own grill or /harness:own brainstorm. Not for autopilot or --no-ask runs.
Use when English text must be parsed without a human to resolve ambiguity â tool descriptions, error messages, inter-agent instructions, system prompts, status reports â and misreading has a real cost, or when text reads as dense, hedged, or easy to misparse. Triggers: disambiguate, STE100 rewrite, apply Simplified Technical English, plain-language rewrite, controlled-language rewrite, rewrite so an agent cannot misread this. Not for creative or marketing copy.
If nothing struggled, say so and stop. Rules manufactured from a clean run make the harness worse.
Turn a brief (brief.md, prd.md, intent.md, notes) into GitHub issues, each built to pass harness:intake as READY, after one owner approval. Can group the new issues under a milestone. Use when the owner has a brief and wants tickets.
Check the running app against the owner's request, blind to the plan, the diff and the Verify row. Use after a ticket is built, or from `/harness:uat N`, for FE, BE and FE+BE tickets.
