harness: Curated Agentic Harnesses for R Professional Roles
A bootstrapper that launches a command-line coding agent of the user's choice in a terminal tab pre-configured for a professional R role. Each role is described by a curated harness: a subset of community skills, a system prompt, a folder layout, and quality gates. The package does not run an agent loop and does not call a language model; it discovers the chosen coder binary, generates its configuration, links the curated skills, and opens the terminal. Code written by the agent is run manually by the user, by design, so that every generated script passes through a human audit gate before execution.
