agent-ready

agent-ready is a skill for Claude Code from afaraha8403/balakit. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for making a website or service discoverable to AI agents through standard discovery documents, crawl signals, authentication details, and protocol cards. It covers agent protocols such as A2A and MCP, which let software agents find and communicate with services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify an origin, check its public content and API surfaces, and prepare appropriate discovery or protocol metadata for agent access.
Why use it?
It prevents publishing irrelevant discovery files or missing the basic HTTP details that agents need to understand a service.

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

agent-ready 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent-ready discovery

Leading words: skip unless, well-known discovery, policy match, HTTP contract, stack-agnostic, host-agnostic.

Publish the HTTP contract (URL, status, Content-Type, required fields). Serve it from origin, the static/public dir, or the edge in front of origin — whatever already ships the site. Do not prescribe a host product or a single framework.

Copy this file's phases into the todo list verbatim. Skipped steps stay with skip: / n/a:.

Phase 1 — Classify

- [ ] Name the origin (scheme + host). No hard-coded example domains.
- [ ] Public content? (HTML pages, blog, marketing)
- [ ] API? (programmatic surface agents might call)
- [ ] Agent product? (this origin hosts A2A, MCP, WebMCP, or outbound bot requests)
- [ ] Commerce? (agents can buy, pay, or check out)

🛑 Checkpoint: Write the four yes/no flags. Do not publish discovery documents the classification did not select.

Phase 2 — Crawl surface

Delegate robots.txt + sitemap existence to seo-audit if a page audit is already in flight. This skill still owns policy match and optional markdown negotiation.

- [ ] GET /robots.txt is text/plain 200 (RFC 9309). Sitemap: line if a sitemap exists.
- [ ] Content-Signal on robots.txt matches User-agent policy (search / ai-train / ai-input).
- [ ] GET /sitemap.xml is XML 200 listing canonical public URLs, or n/a: no public HTML.
- [ ] Optional: Accept: text/markdown on key pages returns markdown; HTML stays the default.

Pull references/well-known-discovery.md only for Link headers / catalogs. Content-Signal detail lives with everything-seo technical SEO.

🛑 Checkpoint: Policy is named (what search, train, and input are set to) and User-agent lines match it. skip: if the origin has no public crawl surface.

Phase 3 — Discovery documents that apply

- [ ] API catalog + Link headers — skip unless API
- [ ] Auth.md + OAuth/OIDC / protected-resource metadata — skip unless API with auth
- [ ] A2A card, agent-skills index, MCP server card, WebMCP — skip unless agent product
- [ ] Web Bot Auth JWKS — skip unless this origin sends bot/agent requests
- [ ] DNS-AID under _agents — skip unless agent product needs DNS discovery
- [ ] ACP / AP2 / MPP / UCP / x402 — skip unless commerce

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
