Scenario 11: Start from a catalog baseline instead of building from scratch

Frequency: Common · Status: Shipped

← Back to scenarios index

Use this when you want a fast starting point and only need to tailor it for your repo afterward.

Typical commands:

harnesstap init --main codex --aliases claude-code,cursor
harnesstap layer list --search foundation --remote-only
harnesstap layer apply engineering-foundation

This is often the fastest path for a new repo: apply a public catalog baseline, then scan or extend it with project-specific resources later.

Bare names such as engineering-foundation resolve against the harnesstap-cloud public catalog (and any connected orgs or libraries). Use layer pull when you want the bundle cached locally before going offline.
