readiness SKILL.md skillA

readiness from jrenaldi79/harness-engineering is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jrenaldi79/harness-engineering/readiness@git:20260325.dd7ee41

Pins git:20260325.dd7ee41 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when the user wants to analyze, audit, or assess their codebase for AI agent readiness. Also use for "readiness report", "how ready is my project", "analyze my codebase", "audit my repo", "check my setup", or "what should I improve".

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

## Resource Resolution Preamble

Before any other step, resolve both the readiness skill's directory and the setup skill's resources:

```bash
SKILL_DIR=$(find ~/.claude/plugins -path "*/readiness/SKILL.md" -print -quit | xargs dirname)
SETUP_SKILL_DIR=$(find ~/.claude/plugins -path "*/setup/SKILL.md" -print -quit | xargs dirname)
SETUP_SCRIPTS=$SETUP_SKILL_DIR/scripts
SETUP_TEMPLATES=$SETUP_SKILL_DIR/templates
SETUP_REFERENCES=$SETUP_SKILL_DIR/references
```

If `SKILL_DIR` is empty, halt and tell the user: "Could not locate the readiness plugin directory under ~/.claude/plugins. Verify the plugin is installed."

If `SETUP_SKILL_DIR` is empty, halt and tell the user: "Could not locate the setup plugin directory. The readiness skill requires the setup skill to be installed as part of the same plugin."

The setup skill's files are **references only** — read them to understand what good enforcement looks like, but never blindly run install scripts on an existing project.

## Phase 1: Detect Environment & Load Previous Report

Check the working directory for:

**Manifest files:** `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `CMakeLists.txt`, `Makefile`
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrenaldi79/harness-engineering/readiness@sha256:306e4a9820f61db1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260325.dd7ee41, 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.
