assess-form SKILL.md skillA
assess-form from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/assess-form@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Evaluate a system's current structural form, identify transformation pressure, and classify transformation readiness. Covers structural inventory, pressure mapping, rigidity assessment, change capacity estimation, and readiness classification for architectural metamorphosis. Use before any significant architectural change to understand the starting point, when a system feels stuck without clear reasons, when external pressure from growth or tech debt is mounting, or as periodic health checks…
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
# Assess Form Evaluate a system's current structural form — its architecture, rigidity, pressure points, and capacity for change — to determine transformation readiness before initiating metamorphosis. ## When to Use - Before any significant architectural change to understand the starting point - When a system feels "stuck" but the reasons are unclear - When external pressure (growth, market shift, tech debt) is mounting but the response is uncertain - Assessing whether a proposed transformation is feasible given the current form - Periodic health checks for long-lived systems (annual form assessment) - Complementing `adapt-architecture` — assess first, then transform ## Inputs - **Required**: The system to assess (codebase, organization, infrastructure, process) - **Optional**: Proposed transformation direction (what might the system need to become?) - **Optional**: Known pain points or pressure sources - **Optional**: Previous transformation attempts and their outcomes - **Optional**: Time horizon for potential transformation - **Optional**: Available resources for transformation effort ## Procedure ### Step 1: Inventory the Current Form …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/assess-form@sha256:053792f7ada2b841The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
