Harness setup

Add and configure harness adapters for platforms.

Install a harness adapter

apothem install --harness <name>

See the supported harness list for available names. Project-scope adapters require the project path:

apothem install --harness cursor --project /path/to/project
apothem install --harness gemini-cli --project /path/to/project
apothem install --harness github-copilot --project /path/to/project
apothem install --harness windsurf --project /path/to/project

Install multiple harnesses

Use the registry-wide selector when you want every supported adapter. Because the registered set includes project-scope adapters, pass the project root.

apothem install --harness claude-code
apothem install --harness cursor --project /path/to/project
apothem install --harness all --project /path/to/project

Verify harness setup

apothem verify --harness <name>
apothem verify --harness all --project /path/to/project

To check every registered adapter in one shot, run apothem doctor. It prints a per-harness install-status table and exits non-zero if any adapter reports not-installed.

apothem harnesses list

Pass apothem harnesses show <name> for per-adapter detail (name, installed state, and output path).
