Analyze, re-engineer, or bootstrap projects to align with AI-first design principles. Use when asked to review, audit, improve, 'ai-firstify', or start a new project. Performs deep analysis across 7 dimensions, actively restructures existing projects, or guides new project setup through discovery questions. Based on the 9 design principles and 7 design patterns from the TechWolf AI-First Bootcamp.

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-Firstify

Analyze and re-engineer projects to align with AI-first design principles.

## Trigger

Use this skill when asked to:
- **Audit mode** (read-only): "review", "audit", "analyze", "check", "assess"
- **Re-Engineer mode** (active changes): "ai-firstify", "fix", "improve", "re-engineer", "transform"
- **Bootstrap mode** (new project): "start", "new project", "bootstrap", "set up", "build from scratch"

## Mode 1: Audit (Read-Only Analysis)

Perform a comprehensive read-only analysis across 7 dimensions. Output a scored report with recommendations. Do NOT modify any files.

Read **references/mode-audit.md** for the full audit procedure and dimension checklist.

## Mode 2: Re-Engineer (Active Transformation)

First, perform the full audit (Mode 1). Then actively fix issues in 7 phases: foundation, de-agentification, skill extraction, complexity reduction, context hygiene, safety hardening, workflow optimization.

Read **references/mode-reengineer.md** for the full re-engineering procedure.

## Mode 3: Bootstrap (New Project Setup)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit/ai-firstify@sha256:59d294be1ae65ff8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260410.852272e, 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.
