Create and manage chaos experiments using Harness Chaos Engineering via MCP. Run resilience tests like pod deletion, CPU stress, and network faults. Use when user says "chaos experiment", "chaos engineering", "resilience test", "chaos test", or wants to test system reliability.

Generate audit reports and compliance trails using Harness audit trail data via MCP v2 tools. Track user actions, resource changes, authentication events, and access patterns across accounts, organizations, and projects. Use when asked to audit activity, generate compliance reports, investigate security incidents, review user actions, check change logs, or produce SOC2/GDPR/HIPAA audit evidence. Trigger phrases: audit report, audit trail, compliance audit, user activity log, change log, access audit, security investigation, who changed what, audit events.

Approve pending Harness STO security exemptions (waivers) at their current scope or elevate them to Project, Org, or Account scope. Users say "approve" for both in-scope approval and higher-scope elevation — do not require the word "promote". Supports approving one exemption or a mixed list where each row has a different approval scope. Default workflow lists pending exemptions in chat (paginated preview) so the user picks by row number — no copying from the Harness UI. Use when a user wants to approve, sign off on, or clear pending exemptions, waive approvals, org-wide approval, or account-wide approval. Trigger phrases: approve exempt, approve exemption, approve waiver, sign off exemption, clear pending exemption, approve for org, approve for account, org-wide approval, account-wide approval, pending exemptions.

Analyze cloud costs, find optimization opportunities, and track anomalies using Harness CCM via MCP. Use when user says "cloud costs", "analyze costs", "cost optimization", "reduce spending", "cost report", or asks about cloud bills.

Configure Harness AI-powered operations (AIDA) via MCP. Set up predictive failure analysis with ML models for memory leaks, disk exhaustion, connection pool saturation, and latency degradation. Configure intelligent alert correlation and noise reduction to reduce alert volume. Use when asked to set up predictive failure analysis, configure AI-powered alerting, reduce alert noise, or enable ML-based anomaly detection. Do NOT use for pipeline debugging (use debug-pipeline instead) or SLO management (use manage-slos instead). Trigger phrases: AIDA, predictive failure, alert correlation, noise reduction, anomaly detection, AI ops, predictive analysis, alert fatigue, ML alerting, intelligent alerting.

Monitor and manage Harness Delegates via MCP. List delegates and check health status, manage delegate registration tokens (create, revoke, delete), and find which delegates are associated with a token. Use when asked about delegate status, delegate health, delegate connectivity, delegate tokens, or troubleshooting delegate issues. Trigger phrases: delegate status, delegate health, list delegates, delegate token, delegate connectivity, delegate troubleshooting, delegate down.

Generate Harness Trigger YAML for automated pipeline execution and create via MCP. Use when user says "create trigger", "webhook trigger", "cron trigger", "scheduled build", "artifact trigger", or wants pipelines to run automatically.

Generate Harness v0 Template YAML for reusable pipeline components (Step, Stage, Pipeline, StepGroup) and create them via MCP. Use when asked to create a template, build a step template, stage template, pipeline template, or reusable step. Do NOT use for checking template usage or references (use template-usage instead). Trigger phrases: create template, step template, stage template, pipeline template, reusable step, template YAML.

Generate Harness Service YAML for deployable workloads and create via MCP. Supports Kubernetes, Helm, ECS, Serverless, SSH, and WinRm deployment types with artifact sources from Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR, Nexus, and S3. Use when asked to create a service, define a Kubernetes service, set up a Helm chart deployment, configure an ECS service, or define what gets deployed. Trigger phrases: create service, service definition, Kubernetes service, Helm service, ECS service, deployment service, artifact source.

Generate Harness Secret definitions and manage secrets via MCP v2 tools. Supports SecretText, SecretFile, SSHKey, and WinRmCredentials types with configurable secret managers (Harness built-in, HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager). Use when asked to create a secret, store credentials, manage API keys, set up SSH keys, configure WinRM credentials, rotate secrets, or reference secrets in pipelines. Trigger phrases: create secret, secret text, secret file, SSH key, API key, password, credentials, secret manager, store secret.

Generate Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML for deployment targets and create via MCP. Use when user says "create infrastructure", "infrastructure definition", "k8s cluster config", "deployment target", or wants to configure where workloads run.

Generate Harness Environment YAML for deployment targets and create via MCP. Supports PreProduction and Production types with environment variables, manifest overrides, and multi-environment setup (dev, staging, prod). Use when asked to create an environment, set up staging, configure production, define deployment targets, or manage environment overrides. Trigger phrases: create environment, deployment environment, setup dev, setup staging, setup production, environment variables, environment overrides.

Generate Harness Connector YAML for integrations and create/test via MCP. Use when user says "create connector", "git connector", "aws connector", "docker connector", "cloud connector", or wants to connect Harness to external services.

Generate Harness Agent Template files for AI-powered automation agents. Produces metadata.json, pipeline.yaml (v1 syntax), and wiki.MD files. Agents automate tasks like code review, security scanning, test generation, and documentation. This is a YAML generation skill. Use when asked to create an agent template, build an AI agent, create an automation agent, generate agent pipeline files, or set up a Harness agent. Trigger phrases: create agent template, agent template, AI agent, automation agent, build agent, code review agent, security scanner agent, Harness agent.

Create and update Harness AI agent instances - standalone templates for agentic workflows in pipelines. Use when asked to create agent, update agent, modify agent spec, build autonomous systems, or work with AI agents.
