harnsy

Hire a ready AI employee, or send us yours

You open harnsy and the team is empty. You know the jobs: a reviewer, a translator, someone who reads contracts, someone who writes release notes. You do not want to write each of them from scratch.

  3. Your project lead hires.The employee joins your project with its role, prompt and skills.Since 0.10.0
Hiring from the catalog, in three steps.

Hiring is free in every edition of harnsy. You read the whole role before you hire it, and every employee is signed by harnsy.

What is inside an employee

Name and character
So you can tell your team apart. An employee is a character, not the real person it may be named after or inspired by.
Prompt
What the job is, what good looks like, what to refuse.
Skills
Small, readable instructions and scripts for the tasks of the job.
Sources
A source list, when the role was adapted from someone else’s work.
What an employee is made of. Every part is plain text.

It is all text in a public repository. Open it first, change it later, hire it when you trust it.

Yours can be on the list

You built a role that works well. You can put it in the catalog:

  1. In harnsy, press Download as an employee on the role’s page.
  2. Put the downloaded files into the GitHub repository github.com/harnesy/hr with a pull request, as the guide shows (the .zip does not send anything by itself).
  3. An automatic check reads the files. The harnsy HR agent, an AI, lists what to fix. A person decides and merges.
  4. If it is accepted, it is on hr.harnsy.dev within an hour of the merge, signed by harnsy.
From your role to the catalog, in four steps.

You need a GitHub account and must be 18 or older. You do not need a harnsy license. Your texts carry the license you pick, CC BY 4.0 or CC0; scripts in skills are MIT, Apache-2.0 or CC0. The repository keeps its whole history, so what you send, and your GitHub name, stay public for good, even if you later withdraw a version.

The step-by-step guide, with the exact buttons, is at hr.harnsy.dev/publish.
