create-secret

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.

manage-delegates

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.

create-connector

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.

create-agent-template

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-service

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.

create-trigger

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.

create-template

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.

create-environment

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.

create-agent

Create and update Harness AI agent instances - standalone templates used as building blocks in pipelines. Agents contain a single agent step with connector-driven architecture requiring llmConnector (LLM access) and optional mcpConnectors (GitHub, Slack, Harness platform). Supports runtime inputs and task/rules-based instruction. Use when asked to create an agent, update agent spec, modify agent configuration, automate tasks, perform agentic workflows, build autonomous systems, or work with AI agents. Trigger phrases: create agent, update agent, modify agent spec, AI agent, autonomous agent, agentic pipeline, automation task, automate workflow, Harness agent, code coverage agent, review agent, agentic task.

create-infrastructure

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.
