Wiley Harness user guide

Choose your starting point

AI-DLC Project Factory creates an application starter and editor instructions from your choices. Use it when you need a new project structure.

Wiley SDLC Harness adds shared engineering rules, goals and project memory to an existing repository. Choose a bundle and install it through a reviewed change.

Create a project

1. Choose Create a project in the catalog.
2. Enter your team and project name. Use letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores in the project name.
3. Choose your setup depth, project type and primary editor. Quick covers the essential settings.
4. Choose Continue to configuration. Answer the required questions; expand optional sections to change defaults.
5. Choose Review project. Check your choices, then select Generate project once.
6. Save the project ID and token privately. Wait for generation to finish, then download the ZIP.

Generation can take several minutes. Only relevant settings are shown. For more available configuration choices, select Standard or Thorough at the Project step. Add existing documents in your editor after download; the portal does not upload them.

Open your generated project

1. Extract the ZIP into a new folder.
2. Read setup-result.json for the validation result and any warnings.
3. Open the inner project/ folder as your editor workspace.
4. Follow the project's README and editor instructions to install dependencies, run tests and enable its harness.
5. Describe the feature you want to build and use the generated workflow in your editor.

The download is a starting point. It does not automatically implement your business features or deploy the application. Selecting a compliance framework does not certify the result.

Return to a project

Open Find a project. Enter the original project ID and token, then choose Check status. If generation has finished, you can get a fresh download link.

Use saved token fills a token stored by the browser where you generated the project. It does not retrieve a token from the service. The service cannot recover a lost token.

Download links last one hour. Anyone with the ID and token can access the project, so keep both private. Unfinished setup is saved in this tab for 24 hours and restored after a refresh. Choose Clear draft to remove it. Closing the tab or using private browsing may remove it.

Use a harness bundle

1. Choose Explore bundles. Start with Common core or select the specialist variant for your work.
2. Download and extract the bundle into a separate folder.
3. Read .harness/README.md and the instructions for your editor. Check .harness/release.json for the version and variant.
4. For an existing repository, use the approved signed updater and review the changes in a pull request. Ask your repository administrator for the updater and trusted signing key if you do not have them.
5. After merging, open the repository and enable the editor integration according to the bundle's instructions.

Do not overwrite an existing harness by extracting a new ZIP on top of it. Preserve local changes and project memory through the updater's review process.

Check for updates

What's new shows release notes. The Project Factory and Wiley bundles have separate versions. Review an update before merging it into your repository.

Automatic repository update requests require administrator enrollment and authenticated access. These are not available in the current public preview.

Troubleshooting

My project ID is rejected

Copy the generated ID. It starts with prj_, followed by exactly eight lowercase hexadecimal characters: 0-9 or a-f.

Project not found or token does not match

Copy the original ID and token exactly. Uppercase O and zero are different. Try Use saved token in the original browser.

The generator is busy

Wait for the current run to finish before trying again. Do not submit repeatedly.

Generation failed

Save the project ID and failure code. Contact your project administrator. A failed validation does not produce a completed download.

The download link expired

Use Find a project with the correct token to request a new link.

I need more help

Contact the administrator who gave you access to Wiley Harness. Include the project ID, action and error message. Never include project tokens or private download links.
