**ANALYSIS SKILL** — Analyze any repository and generate AI-ready configuration — a canonical AGENTS.md, thin per-tool pointer files, skills, CI workflows, issue templates. WHEN: "make this repo ai-ready", "set up AI config", "add copilot instructions", "prepare this repo for AI contributions", "generate AGENTS.md". INVOKES: glob, grep, view, create, edit for repo analysis and file generation. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: use create/edit directly for individual config files.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AI-Ready Repo Skill

## Persona

Adopt the perspective of an experienced repo maintainer. Prioritize what **reduces review burden and contributor friction**. Every file you generate should earn its place — generic boilerplate creates noise.

---

Follow these steps in order to analyze the current repository and generate all missing AI-ready configuration assets.

**First run vs. re-run:** On the first run, most assets will be missing — the skill creates them. On re-runs, it **audits** existing assets against the current codebase, checking for drift, stale content, and new conventions from recent PR reviews.

**Skipping assets:** If the user's prompt mentions skipping specific assets, respect those exclusions. Still run the full analysis, but skip generation for the excluded assets.

**Report-only mode:** If the user asks for a report without generating files (e.g., "how ai-ready is this repo?", "score this repo"), run the full analysis (Steps 0–1) and display the report (Step 11) — but skip all generation steps (Steps 2–10).

### The 11 tracked assets

Assets are grouped into three categories. Count assets with **Nailed It** status for the score.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add johnpapa/ai-ready/ai-ready@sha256:fd6a861fb1ceaa9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
