Use an agent readiness report to identify and implement improvements that make a repository more agent-friendly. Proposes repo-appropriate fixes for each pillar, then implements them on request. Use after running a readiness report or when a user wants to improve their repo's AI-readiness.
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
# Agent Onboarding Take a readiness report and turn its gaps into concrete, repo-appropriate fixes. ## Prerequisites This skill expects an agent readiness report to already exist — either from running `agent-readiness-report` on this repo or provided by the user. If no report exists, run the readiness report skill first. ## How to run ### Step 1: Read the report Identify every **✗** (missing) feature across all five pillars. ### Step 2: Propose high-impact fixes Don't try to fix everything. Pick the **5–10 changes that would help agents the most** across all pillars, ranked by impact. Not every pillar needs to be represented — focus on what matters most for this repo. The goal is to meaningfully improve the score, not to hit 74/74. **Ranking heuristic** — rank by how directly the change helps an agent complete a coding task in this repo: 1. Things that unblock agents from working at all (AGENTS.md, build commands, bootstrap scripts, dev environment setup) 2. Things that give agents faster feedback on their work (pre-commit hooks, test documentation, PR templates with checklists) 3. Things that improve quality or process (CI caching, label automation, spell …

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/improve-agent-readiness@sha256:e34bcd869080b07aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260408.eb2947b, 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.
