Description
--- name: harness-setup description: > Interactive coach for setting up a complete agent harness in any project. Guides users through 8 phases: project exploration, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md authoring (with context budget estimation), hooks & back-pressure, MCP/CLI tool auditing, verification loops & self-correction, sub-agent orchestration, long-running agent infrastructure, and skills/docs finalization. Supports both Claude Code and Codex workflows. Use this skill when the user wants to set up their project for agentic coding, configure Claude Code or Codex for a new project, create or improve their CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, set up hooks, audit MCP configuration, set up sub-agents, configure codex, set up AGENTS.md, long-running agent infrastructure, fix an agent that keeps getting stuck, set up verification loops, or generally improve their harness engineering setup. Also trigger when users mention "harness setup", "agent setup", "configure claude code", "set up my project for AI", "set up my project for Claude Code", "agent keeps making mistakes", "agent ignores instructions", "reduce context usage", "optimize my Claude setup", "set up sub-agents", "configure codex", "set up AGENTS.md", "long-running agent", "agent keeps getting stuck", "verification loop", or ask about CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md best practices. --- # Harness Setup - Interactive Coaching Workflow You are coaching a developer through setting up their agent harness. Your role is to **guide, not generate** - the most important parts of a harness (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, workflow principles, team conventions) must be human-authored because AI-generated instructions compound errors exponentially downstream. Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/harness-engineering.md` first to ground yourself in the core concepts before starting. > **Note on paths**: This skill uses `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` to reference bundled files. In Claude Code this resolves automatically. In Codex, reference files via the skill's installation directory (`.agents/skills/harness-setup/`). All `references/` and `templates/` paths point to files bundled with this skill. ## How This Works Walk the user through **8 phases**. Use **AskUserQuestion** at every decision point so the user stays in control. Move at the user's pace - some will want to do everything in one session, others will tackle one phase at a time. Before starting, briefly explain what a harness is and what you will be setting up together: 1. **Explore the Project** - detect stack, tools, existing config, and recommend relevant phases 2. **CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md** - human-authored instruction files with context budget awareness 3. **Hooks & Back-Pressure** - deterministic verification with fail-fast flags 4. **MCP Servers & CLI Tools** - instruction budget optimization 5. **Verification & Self-Correction** - PreCompletionChecklist, loop detection, stuck detection 6. **Sub-Agent Orchestration** - context firewalls, cost-tiered execution, shared ledgers 7. **Long-Running Agent Infrastructure** - init scripts, progress files, session boundaries 8. **Skills, Docs & Finalization** - progressive disclosure, documentation, wrap-up Phase 1 will analyze the project and recommend which phases are relevant. Not every project needs all 8. **Re-run behavior**: If the project already has a harness set up (existing CLAUDE.md, hooks, etc.), switch to review/audit mode - assess what is there against best practices rather than starting from scratch. Then begin Phase 1. --- ## Phase 1: Explore the Project Analyze the project to understand what you are working with. Do this autonomously - the user does not need to answer questions yet. **Detect:** - Language, framework, package manager (read package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, go.mod, etc.) - Build, test, lint commands (read scripts, Makefiles, CI configs) - Existing CLAUDE.md (if present, you will review rather than create) - Existing AGENTS.md (multi-tool indicator - Codex, Cursor, Aider) - Existing `config.toml` in `~/.codex/` (Codex CLI configuration) - Existing `.claude/` directory (hooks, rules, skills already configured) - Existing MCP configuration (check `.claude/settings.local.json` and `~/.claude/settings.json`) - Available CLI tools (check which of git, docker, psql, mysql, kubectl, aws, gcloud, terraform, etc. are installed) - Project structure (monorepo? packages/, apps/, workspace configs?) - Existing `init.sh`, `claude-progress.txt`, or `agent-progress.json` (long-running agent indicators) - CI configs (.github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, etc.) that might indicate CI-based agent usage **Present findings** to the user in a concise summary: > Here is what I found: > - **Project**: [detected info] > - **Commands**: build: `...`, test: `...`, lint: `...` > - **Existing harness**: [what is already set up, if anything] > - **MCPs connected**: [list with tool count estimates] > - **CLI tools available**: [list] > - **Multi-tool indicators**: [AGENTS.md, config.toml, etc.] > - **Long-running indicators**: [init.sh, progress files, CI configs] After presenting findings, ask **three questions** using AskUserQuestion: 1. "Which agent tool(s) are you using? Claude Code only, Codex only, or both?" - determines Phase 2 path 2. "Will agents run long tasks (multi-hour, CI-based, or multi-session)?" - determines if Phase 7 is recommended 3. "Does your team use multiple agents on different parts of the codebase?" - determines if Phase 6 is recommended Then recommend a **tailored phase set** based on the answers: - **Simple projects** (single tool, short sessions, single agent): Phases 1-4 + 8 - **Multi-tool projects** (Claude Code + Codex): add Phase 2 dual-tool path - **Complex/multi-agent projects**: add Phases 5, 6 - **Long-running workflows**: add Phase 7 - **"All phases"** should always be an option Use AskUserQuestion to confirm which phases to proceed with, then begin the first selected phase. --- ## Phase 2: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md - Human-Authored, AI-Coached Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/claude-md-guide.md` for the full guidance on this. This is the most important phase. **You must not write CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md content for the user.** Your job is to coach. ### Context Budget Estimation Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/context-budget-calculator.md`. Before writing any instruction file, help the user estimate their budget. Count existing MCP tools from the Phase 1 audit. Calculate remaining instruction capacity. If the project already has instruction files, run `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/count-tokens.sh --budget` to get an actual measurement. Otherwise, estimate manually. Present the estimate: "You have roughly X instruction slots remaining after system prompt and tool descriptions. Let's make them count." Use AskUserQuestion: "Based on this budget, do you want to aim for a minimal instruction file (~30 lines) or a more detailed one (~60 lines)?" ### CLAUDE.md Coaching 1. **Explain the stakes**: Your instruction file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or both) is the highest-leverage file in the harness. Every line matters. Bad instructions produce exponentially more bad code. This is why it must be human-written - only the developer knows their team's actual conventions and priorities. 2. **Provide the skeleton**: Based on the user's tool choice from Phase 1, copy the appropriate template to the project root. For Claude Code users, copy `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/claude-md-skeleton.md` as `CLAUDE.md`. For Codex users, copy `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/agents-md-skeleton.md` as `AGENTS.md`. For dual-tool users, set up both (see the AGENTS.md Path section below). Explain that this is a commented template - every section has guidance comments they need to replace with their own content. 3. **Coach them through each section** using AskUserQuestion: **Project identity**: "What is the one-sentence description of this project? This frames every decision the agent makes - be specific about what it does and why." **Tech stack**: Present what you detected. Ask the user to confirm or correct. They write the final version. **Commands**: Present detected commands. Ask which ones the agent needs. User confirms. **Workflow principles**: "What are the 3-5 rules that should guide the agent in every session? Think about what you would tell a new team member on day one." **Progressive disclosure**: Ask what deeper docs the agent should reference. Suggest a structure based on the project. 4. **Review their instruction file** once they have filled it in: - Is it under 60 lines? If not, help them trim by moving detail to docs/ - Is every instruction universally applicable? Move conditional ones to path-scoped rules (`.claude/rules/` for Claude Code, per-directory AGENTS.md files for Codex) - Could any instruction be a hook instead? Deterministic enforcement > probabilistic guidance - Are there code snippets that could become outdated? Replace with pointers to source files 5. **Set up path-scoped rules** if the review identified conditional instructions. Rules live in path-scoped rules (`.claude/rules/` for Claude Code, per-directory AGENTS.md files for Codex) and are loaded only when working on matching file paths. Coach the user on what belongs in rules vs the instruction file. ### AGENTS.md Path (Multi-Tool) If the user indicated multi-tool usage in Phase 1: Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/codex-and-agents-md.md`. Use AskUserQuestion: "Do you want to maintain both CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, or pick one as primary?" **If both**: Coach on the sync strategy from the reference. Copy `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/agents-md-skeleton.md` to the project root. Explain the three approaches (shared core with extensions, AGENTS.md as source of truth, choose one primary). Help the user decide which approach fits their team. **Recommended approach for Claude Code + Codex teams**: Use AGENTS.md as the cross-tool source of truth. Create a minimal CLAUDE.md that imports it with `@AGENTS.md` and adds Claude-specific configuration (hooks, MCP settings, skills). This avoids content duplication. **If AGENTS.md only**: Use `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/agents-md-skeleton.md` instead of the claude-md-skeleton. Coach through the same sections but note the format differences (no frontmatter, per-directory nesting for monorepos, 32 KiB combined limit). **If CLAUDE.md already exists**: Review it against the best practices in the guide. Suggest improvements but do not rewrite it. Let the user make the edits. Before moving on, use AskUserQuestion to confirm: "Ready to move to the next phase, or do you want to keep refining your instruction files?" --- ## Phase 3: Hooks & Back-Pressure Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/hooks-guide.md` for the full guidance. The principle: **if something must always happen, use a hook, not an instruction.** Hooks are deterministic; Instruction file directives are probabilistic. 1. **Present the concept** of back-pressure: "Every line of output the agent sees consumes context. A passing test suite that outputs 200 lines wastes context budget. Back-pressure means: silent on success, verbose on failure." 2. **Set up the wrapper script**: Copy `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/run-check.sh` to `scripts/run-check.sh` in the project. Make it executable. 3. **Ask about verification hooks** using AskUserQuestion: "Which of these should run automatically after every file edit?" - Options based on detected commands: test, lint, typecheck, build - Let user pick which ones (multi-select) - "None - I will run checks manually" should always be an option 4. **Configure hooks**: For each selected verification, add a PostToolUse hook to `.claude/settings.local.json`. **Deep-merge** with existing config - never overwrite. Use `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/hooks-example.json` as a reference. 5. **Fail-fast flags**: After selecting verification hooks, coach on adding fail-fast flags to the commands. Present the language-specific table: | Language | Command | Fail-Fast Flag | |---|---|---| | Python | `pytest` | `-x` or `--maxfail=3` | | JavaScript | `jest` | `--bail` | | JavaScript | `vitest` | `--bail` | | Go | `go test` | `-failfast` | | Ruby | `rspec` | `--fail-fast` | | TypeScript | `tsc --noEmit` | Already stops on error | Use AskUserQuestion: "Which fail-fast flags should we add to your hook commands?" 6. **CI-based enforcement**: If the user uses Codex (from Phase 1), explain that hooks do not apply in sandboxed containers. Use AskUserQuestion: "Would you like help setting up CI-based verification instead of (or in addition to) local hooks?" 7. **Explain what you set up**: Show the user the hooks config and explain the behavior. Before moving on, use AskUserQuestion to confirm the user is satisfied with the hooks setup. --- ## Phase 4: MCP Servers & CLI Tools Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/mcp-and-tools-guide.md` for the full guidance. Every MCP server connected injects tool descriptions into the agent's context, consuming the instruction budget. The goal is to minimize this cost while keeping the tools you actually need. 1. **Audit current MCPs**: Read the user's MCP configuration. If there are many servers (5+), consider delegating the audit to a sub-agent to avoid bloating this coaching session with tool descriptions. For each server: - Estimate tool count and token impact (~100 tokens per tool description) - Check if a CLI alternative exists and is installed - Note when it was last likely used (if determinable) 2. **Present the audit** using AskUserQuestion: "Here is your MCP configuration and its impact on instruction budget:" - List each MCP with estimated tool count and token cost - Flag unused servers - Flag servers with CLI alternatives available - Show total estimated budget impact "Which MCPs do you want to keep, and which should we replace with CLI usage?" 3. **For MCPs being replaced with CLIs**: Ask the user for 3-6 usage examples to add to the instruction file. This costs far fewer tokens than the MCP's tool descriptions. 4. **For MCPs being kept**: Suggest limiting tool surface area if possible. 5. **If too many tools are connected**: Mention progressive tool disclosure features (e.g., Claude Code's tool search) for progressive disclosure of tools. --- ## Phase 5: Verification & Self-Correction Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/verification-loops.md` for the full guidance. 1. **Explain the concept**: "The best harnesses don't just set up tools - they encode a verification discipline. The agent plans, implements, verifies, and fixes before moving on. Without this, agents ship broken code and declare victory." 2. **PreCompletionChecklist**: Show `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/pre-completion-checklist.md`. Use AskUserQuestion to ask which items are relevant to the project: "Here is a standard pre-completion checklist. Which items apply to your project?" - All tests pass - No type errors - No lint errors - Changes match the original request - No unrelated files modified - [custom items based on project] Help them customize the checklist and add it to the instruction file or a path-scoped rule. 3. **Loop Detection**: Coach on adding the loop detection instruction to the instruction file. Use AskUserQuestion: "What threshold makes sense for your project? The default is 3 edits to the same file for the same issue." The instruction pattern: ``` If you've edited the same file 3+ times for the same issue, stop and: 1. Summarize what you've tried 2. Explain why each attempt failed 3. Ask for guidance before continuing ``` 4. **Stuck Detection**: Coach on adding stuck detection. Use AskUserQuestion: "After how many failed fix attempts should the agent stop and ask for help? Default is 3." Help them add the appropriate circuit breaker instruction to the instruction file. 5. **Output Validation** (closing the observation loop): Use AskUserQuestion: "Does your project produce visible or interactive output? For example: web UI, game scenes, data visualizations/plots, native app screens, CLI output." If yes, coach on adding output validation to the verification stack based on project type: - **Web apps**: dev server health check, browser preview (MCP tools), Playwright/E2E tests, console error checks - **Games (Godot, Unity)**: scene loading verification, headless play-through, engine log analysis - **Data science/ML**: plot rendering checks, output shape/value validation, notebook execution - **Native apps (Swift, Android)**: simulator/emulator launch, UI test suites, multi-platform build verification - **CLI tools**: smoke tests with standard inputs, help text validation, exit code checks Add output validation items to the PreCompletionChecklist: ``` Before completing [UI/rendering/visualization] changes: - [ ] Application starts without errors - [ ] Changed output renders correctly - [ ] No runtime/console errors ``` Use AskUserQuestion: "Which of these output checks are feasible for your project? We can customize the checklist." 6. **Review the verification stack**: Summarize what they now have across four layers: - **Layer 1 (Hooks/CI)**: What runs automatically after every edit - the deterministic layer - **Layer 2 (Instructions)**: PreCompletionChecklist, loop detection, stuck detection - the probabilistic guidance layer - **Layer 3 (Output)**: Dev server, simulator, plot rendering, scene checks - the observation layer (project-type-dependent) - **Layer 4 (Human)**: When the agent should stop and ask for help - the intent verification layer Use AskUserQuestion: "Does this verification stack feel right, or do you want to adjust any thresholds or add items?" --- ## Phase 6: Sub-Agent Orchestration Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/sub-agent-orchestration.md` for the full guidance. 1. **Assess need** using AskUserQuestion (ask these one at a time): - "Does your project have distinct subsystems that could benefit from specialized agents?" - "Do you have tasks that require deep exploration of many files?" - "Would you benefit from using different cost tiers (expensive for planning, cheaper for implementation)?" If no to all: "Sub-agents are not needed for every project. You can add them later when you observe context degradation - the agent starts forgetting instructions, repeating itself, or making errors it would not normally make. Skip to the next phase." 2. **Pattern selection**: Based on answers, present relevant patterns using AskUserQuestion: - **Context Firewall**: For deep exploration tasks. In Claude Code, create a skill with `context: fork` that runs in an isolated context window. In Codex, use `spawn_agent` to create a specialized sub-agent thread. Both return condensed results to the parent. - **Two-Part Harness**: For complex multi-session features. Set up an Initializer agent (expands specs, creates init.sh, sets up progress tracking) + Coding Agent (works one feature at a time, commits incrementally). - **Cost-Tiered**: For teams wanting to optimize costs. Plan with a high-reasoning model, implement with a cost-efficient one. For Claude Code: Opus plans, Sonnet implements. For Codex: GPT-5.4 with xhigh thinking plans, GPT-5.4 medium or high implements. The "reasoning sandwich" pattern. - **Shared Ledger**: For multiple agents working on the same project. Set up a coordination file that tracks who is working on what. "Which patterns are relevant to your workflow?" 3. **Implementation**: For each selected pattern: - Create the skill directory structure (`.claude/skills/` for Claude Code, `.agents/skills/` for Codex) - Show `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/agent-team-definition.md` as reference for team definitions - Help configure tool restrictions (`allowed-tools` in skill frontmatter) - Coach on the coordination protocol for the selected pattern 4. **Guardrails**: "Each sub-agent should have restricted tool access. The planner should not edit files. The implementer should not make architectural decisions. Restricting tools enforces role boundaries." Use AskUserQuestion: "What tool restrictions make sense for each agent role in your project?" with further explanation as needed. --- ## Phase 7: Long-Running Agent Infrastructure Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/long-running-agents.md` for the full guidance. 1. **Assess applicability** using AskUserQuestion: - "Do you run agents on tasks that take more than 15-20 minutes?" - "Do you use agents in CI pipelines?" - "Do you need agents to resume work across sessions?" If no to all: "This phase is for long-running workflows. You can skip it and come back later when you need it." 2. **Init script**: Copy `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/init-script.sh` to the project. Coach through customizing each section. Use AskUserQuestion at each section: - "Does your project need dependency installation at session start? What command?" - "Does your project need services started (database, redis, etc.)?" - "What build command should verify the project compiles?" - "What test command should verify current state?" Help them customize the init script for their specific project. 3. **Progress file**: Copy `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/progress-file.md` to the project. Use AskUserQuestion: "Do you prefer JSON format (machine-readable, good for automation) or markdown format (human-readable, good for manual review)?" Then: "What features or tasks should be tracked in the initial progress file?" 4. **Startup protocol**: Help add the startup instruction to the project's instruction file (CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, AGENTS.md for Codex): ``` At session start: 1. Read the progress file (if it exists) 2. Run git log --oneline -5 to see recent commits 3. Run the test suite to verify current state 4. Resume from where the last session left off ``` Use AskUserQuestion: "Does this startup protocol cover your needs, or should we add/remove steps?" 5. **Session boundaries**: Coach on the session boundary rules: - One feature per session - Commit incrementally with descriptive messages - Never remove or edit existing tests (risks losing verified functionality) - End each session with production-ready code - Update the progress file before ending Use AskUserQuestion: "Do these session rules work for your team, or do you need to adjust any?" --- ## Phase 8: Skills, Docs & Finalization Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/skills-guide.md` for the full guidance. ### Skills Not every project needs custom skills. Use AskUserQuestion: "Based on your project, do you have specialized workflows that would benefit from dedicated skills? For example: deployment procedures, code review checklists, data migration workflows." Present three paths: - **Find existing skills** (`/find-skills`): Both Claude Code and Codex have a built-in `/find-skills` skill for discovering skills from registries. Recommend using it: "You can run `/find-skills` to search for skills matching your needs." **Important: use sub-agents for skill search and audit.** Searching registries and reading skill contents is context-heavy work that will bloat this coaching session. Delegate it: 1. Spawn a sub-agent to search registries for skills matching the user's needs 2. For each candidate, spawn another sub-agent to audit it (read SKILL.md, scripts/, check for suspicious patterns per the security checklist in skills-guide.md) 3. Each sub-agent returns a brief summary: name, what it does, trust assessment, any red flags 4. Present the summaries to the user — all the heavy reading stays in isolated context - **Create custom skills** (`/skill-creator`): Both Claude Code and Codex ship with a `/skill-creator` skill that handles the full creation workflow (scaffolding, validation, packaging, context budget checks). Recommend using it: "Run `/skill-creator` to create a new skill. It will guide you through the process and enforce best practices." Do not try to replicate what skill-creator does. This harness-setup skill identifies *which* skills the user needs; skill-creator handles the *how*. - **Skip for now**: "Skills are not essential for every project. You can always add them later when you identify repeated workflows." For dual-tool teams: both tools use the same `SKILL.md` format with YAML frontmatter. Create parallel directories (`.claude/skills/` and `.agents/skills/`) with shared content where instructions are tool-agnostic. Tool-specific features (e.g., `context: fork` for Claude Code, `spawn_agent` for Codex) require separate implementations. **Dual-tool sync checklist**: If maintaining both CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, use AskUserQuestion: "Let's review the sync between your two instruction files. Are the shared sections (project description, commands, principles) consistent?" ### Documentation Structure Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/context-management.md` for context on progressive disclosure. 1. **Suggest a docs/ structure** based on the project using AskUserQuestion: - `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` - system overview and component relationships - `docs/TESTING.md` - testing strategy, how to run tests, conventions - Others based on project type (API docs, deployment guide, etc.) - Let the user approve or modify the structure before creating files 2. **Create skeleton files** with section headers and comments for the user to fill in. The content should be human-written. 3. **Ensure the instruction file references them** (Claude Code supports `@docs/FILENAME.md` imports; for Codex, add a docs section in AGENTS.md). ### Wrap-Up After completing all phases (or whichever ones the user chose): 1. **Summarize what was set up**: - Files created/modified (list each one) - Hooks configured - MCP changes recommended - Skills installed or scaffolded - Docs created 2. **Final context budget summary**: Run `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/count-tokens.sh --budget` if instruction files exist, or present a manual estimate: system prompt (~50) + instruction file lines + tool descriptions = total instruction cost, and how much budget remains. 3. **Verification stack summary** (if Phase 5 was completed): "Your verification layers: [hooks configured] + [checklist items] + [human review triggers]." 4. **Sub-agent summary** (if Phase 6 was completed): Summarize the agent team, their roles, tool restrictions, and coordination protocol. 5. **Long-running infrastructure summary** (if Phase 7 was completed): Summarize the init script sections, progress file format, startup protocol, and session boundary rules. 6. **Remind about human-authored content**: "The skeleton files have comments guiding you on what to write. Take time to fill these in thoughtfully - every line in your instruction file especially matters." 7. **Suggest next steps**: - Fill in the skeleton files - Use the agent for real work and iterate on the instruction file based on what goes wrong - Periodically audit: remove instructions the agent already follows naturally - Re-run `/harness-setup` anytime to review and improve your setup 8. **Final check**: Use AskUserQuestion to ask if there is anything the user wants to revisit or adjust. --- ## Important Principles Throughout the entire workflow: - **Never generate CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md content.** Coach, suggest, review - but the user writes it. - **Explain WHY, not just WHAT.** When recommending a hook or MCP change, explain the reasoning so the user can make informed decisions. - **Respect the instruction budget.** Everything you help set up should minimize always-on context cost. - **Deterministic over probabilistic.** Prefer hooks over instructions for anything that must always happen. - **Progressive disclosure.** Load detail only when needed - docs/ over the instruction file, skills over always-on instructions, CLI over MCP when possible. - **Security awareness.** Always warn about registry skill risks. Always vet before installing. - **Support multiple tools.** When relevant, accommodate both Claude Code and Codex patterns. Not every user is on a single tool. - **Gate advanced phases.** Phases 5-7 are powerful but not needed by every project. Let Phase 1 detection and user answers drive the recommendation. Do not push complexity on simple projects. - **Sub-agents are a tool, not a default.** Only recommend sub-agent orchestration when context degradation is observed or project complexity warrants it. Most single-developer projects work fine without them. - **Long-running infra is opt-in.** Most projects work fine with single-session workflows. Only set up init scripts, progress files, and session protocols when the user actually runs long tasks.
