Harness Score 1.5 measures AI coding agent readiness across repos

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Harness Score is an open-source scanner that rates how well a code repository supports AI coding agents, from L0 to L4. Version 1.5 adds customizable scoring, multi-language docs, a GitHub Action, and a public showcase. The tool checks for context files, tests, linters, CI gates, and safety hooks without any network calls.

Meridian48 take
The tool addresses a real gap in agentic coding workflows, but its value depends on teams actually acting on the diagnostic rather than just collecting a score.
