Scores how ready a repository is for AI coding agents to work in it effectively, then remediates the gaps - grades agent instruction files, verifiable feedback loops, onboarding reproducibility, and codebase navigability against a fixed 30-signal rubric, stack-agnostic across TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, C#, and PHP/Laravel. Activates when the user says 'is this repo agent-ready', 'readiness report', 'readiness score', 'agent readiness', 'audit this repo for AI agents', 'why do…
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 Readiness > An agent's effectiveness in a repo is capped by what the repo lets it verify. Score the affordances, not the code quality. This skill **measures and remediates affordances**. It may create a scaffold (an `AGENTS.md`, an `ARCHITECTURE.md`) only when the repo's own evidence fills it enough to pass the signal, then hands the prose to the owning skill (`vd:docs`, `vd:skill-creator`). It never writes the architecture narrative, and never refactors code to raise a score (`vd:simplify --aggressive`; `vd:scout` for locating code). ## Hard rules 1. **Identical repo, identical output.** Score on committed evidence. Prefer existence checks over deep semantic analysis, order signals by id, and cap each rationale at ~500 characters. Record an `as_of` date and score every date-relative clause against it, run runnable checks in the repo's declared environment rather than against whatever the host happens to have installed, and treat missing API access as a fallback to static config evidence - never as non-applicability. Live measurements (CI durations, status APIs) are reported as observations and never change a score. A score that drifts with the host, the clock, or a… …

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/agent-readiness@sha256:25a8d4825f7d9590The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
