gdharness

gdharness

An agent cannot see a running game. It reads your scripts and guesses at the rest: whether the button is on screen, whether the panel updated, whether that error mattered.

gdharness makes the engine answerable instead. What the screen says, where a control is, what a property reads right now, what the console printed, what broke and on which line.

Install

Hand this to your agent:

Install gdharness here by following https://aureliolo.github.io/gdharness/agent.md,
then tell me what it asked you to recommend back to me.

Or do it yourself, and pick your harness: aureliolo.github.io/gdharness.

The loop it exists for

editor_run      { "op": "start", "projectPath": "C:/games/hall" }
runtime_inspect { "op": "find", "says": "Buy" }              // the button, by the word on it
runtime_input   { "op": "click", "nodePath": "/root/Hall/Ledger/BuyButton" }
runtime_inspect { "op": "text", "nodePath": "/root/Hall/Ledger" }   // what the panel says now
editor_output   { "projectPath": "C:/games/hall" }           // errors and warnings, with backtraces

The open editor plays the game, so its debugger holds it, which is what lets you set a breakpoint and read the variables in scope when it stops.

Every answer is read back out of the engine after the fact, never echoed from the request. A tool that cannot answer says which state it is in and what would change it, rather than answering emptily, so a call that succeeded is a call that was understood.

At a glance

Needs	Godot 4.7 or newer, Node 22 or newer. Runs under Bun 1.4 too.
Surface	30 tools named domain_verb, 4 godot:// resources and 3 prompts
Reaches	The editor that is open, a game it is playing, and the project on disk
Harnesses	35, written inside the project wherever the harness has a project config
Skill	Written to .agents/skills, which every major harness reads
Install	npm, or a Sigstore-signed archive with an SBOM, SLSA Build Level 3
Proven	Every tool driven against Godot 4.7.2 in CI, on Windows, Linux and macOS
Status	1.0: every release is a patch. What a bump means

Older 4.x is likely to work and is not tested.

SECURITY.md is how to report something. CONTRIBUTING.md is what a change has to clear.
