ai-readiness-assess

ai-readiness-assess is a command for Claude Code from techtalk/ai-readiness-assessment. It costs 68 tokens per session (13,479 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that assesses how ready a software team and project are for using AI agents. It examines fourteen areas of the team's working environment and compares them with the team's practical AI skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a repository, answer follow-up questions, identify weaknesses, and create a reading or support path based on the results.
Why use it?
It turns scattered evidence and answers into a dated assessment, making gaps and next steps easier to see.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-readiness-assess scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/ai-readiness-assess

Run an AI literacy assessment for this project against the framework set out in The Sovereign Engineer (Russ Miles, Habitat-Thinking).

This command is fully self-contained — it does not depend on any plugin skills, agents, sub-commands, or external services. Everything it needs to score is below.


The model (embedded)

This instrument evaluates a team's habitat against the Agentic Experience 5-Level Habitat Maturity Modelfourteen dimensions, each placed L1–L5. The model is the primary spine of the assessment: it describes what the team's habitat actually delivers.

Folded in as a second, cognitive read is the six-level ladder and three disciplines from The Sovereign Engineer (Russ Miles, Habitat-Thinking) — what the team can think and do. The Habitat/Workflow Gap measures coherence between the two reads.

Everything needed to score is below. This command is fully self-contained — it does not read from another repo, plugin, or service at runtime.

The fourteen dimensions (the spine)

Verbs in bold, key nouns plain. Each row is a dimension; each column is a maturity level. This is the model in full — every dimension is placed for every assessment.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
