assess SKILL.md skillA

assess from bjcoombs/ai-native-toolkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add bjcoombs/ai-native-toolkit/assess@git:20261011.6157131

Pins git:20261011.6157131 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Assess a codebase's readiness for AI agent contributors using the layered contract model, and generate a complexity hotspot SVG treemap (size = LOC, hue = cyclomatic complexity, saturation = recent git churn). TRIGGER when the user types /assess, asks for an AI-readiness review, wants a complexity heatmap or hotspot map, asks 'how complex is this code?', wants migration risk triage, or asks for a codebase snapshot/report. Produces an MD report + SVG that can be opened as a PR in the target repo.

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 Readiness Assessment + Complexity Hotspot

Three artefacts in one pass against a target repo:

1. **Layered contract assessment** - 0-8 score across navigability, runtime liveness, code design, linters, architecture tests, CI, coverage, review bots, and AI project management.
2. **Complexity hotspot SVG** - Codecov-style treemap of the code. Size = LOC. Colour = cyclomatic complexity. Saturation = recent git churn. Vivid red = complex AND active = riskiest to change.
3. **Doc navigability SVG** - a node-graph of the docs. Structure = connectivity (centre = entry, rim = unreachable, dashed ring = orphan, solid edge = link, dotted edge = reference); colour = staleness (vivid red = a frozen doc beside churning code = a *lying map*); size = file length. Folds navigability and the decaying-map signal into one artifact.

Both SVGs are colour-blind-safe by default (OrRd ramp, no red-green).

All land as files inside the target repo. The skill always writes them locally; after writing, **ask the user** whether to open a PR in the target repo with the artefacts.

## The model: truth-pressure, not presence

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjcoombs/ai-native-toolkit/assess@sha256:2bbf18005686e70e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.6157131, 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.
