Scaffold and maintain the standard community health files every GitHub repository needs: .gitignore, .gitattributes, LICENSE, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, FUNDING.yml, CODEOWNERS, issue/PR templates, dependabot.yml, .editorconfig, and CI workflows. Two modes: **init** (interview the user, detect the stack, scaffold everything from scratch) and **update** (scan an existing repo, identify gaps against best practices, and suggest additions file by file). Use when…
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
# Repo Ready Scaffold or audit standard GitHub repository files, adapting them to the project's stack, audience, and governance. ## Two modes ### Init mode (bare `repo-ready` or `repo-ready init`) Start from scratch. Interview the user to understand the project, then scaffold every file in one pass. ### Update mode (`repo-ready update`) Scan an existing repo, compare against the full checklist, report what's missing or outdated, and offer to create each missing file interactively. Both modes use the same interview/guidance engine and the same file catalog. The difference is scope: init creates everything; update creates only what's missing. ## The file catalog Every file this skill knows about, grouped by category. The generator (`scripts/generate.mjs`) produces each one from templates plus user answers. ### Tier 1: Essential (every repo should have these) | File | Purpose | GitHub behavior | |------|---------|-----------------| | `.gitignore` | Exclude build artifacts, deps, OS files | New-repo UI offers language picker | | `.gitattributes` | Line endings, binary handling, linguist | Powers language stats, diff behavior | …

How to install
mdr add jongio/skills/repo-ready@sha256:66755402c58c0bb2The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
