Harness CLI

The Harness CLI (exemplar-cli) is the terminal surface for Exemplar skills, prompts, and memory. It is a separate package from the Python SDK—same control plane, scriptable from the shell.

Prefer the CLI for CI scripts, operator runbooks, and quick checks. Prefer the SDK for embedding Harness inside application code and agent frameworks.
