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 — Agent Guide

This is an **Agent Skill** — not a traditional application. The deliverable is a skill definition
(`SKILL.md`) that teaches an AI coding agent how to make any repository AI-ready. There is nothing to compile
and nothing to ship a binary from.

There *is* code, though, and it has to pass before you push: a small Python validation harness under `tools/`
and `tests/` that checks the skill's detection data against fixture repos. See [§ Testing](#testing).

The skill follows the vendor-neutral [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard, so one canonical
`skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md` is consumed by GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Cursor. Each tool gets
its own thin manifest that points at that same directory — **never duplicate the skill content.**

## Repository Structure

Conventional where you'd expect: `skills/ai-ready/` holds the skill, `docs/` the prose, `tests/` and `tools/`
the validation harness, `evals/` the manual rubric. Run `ls` for the rest.

The part that is **not** guessable, and that CI enforces:

**Six files carry a version and all six must agree** — `skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md` (`metadata.version`, the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add johnpapa/ai-ready/AGENTS.md@sha256:349a39204e5a9973

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.df803c6, 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.
