agentready: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/test-assess/SKILL.md

test-assess is a skill for Claude Code from ambient-code/agentready. It costs 75 tokens per session (770 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing workflow for checking the AgentReady assessment tool against real GitHub repositories, which are hosted code projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select suitable repositories, run the local assessor, review its results and output locations, and clean up temporary clones.
Why use it?
Testing on relevant repositories helps reveal whether a change to the assessor works across projects with different structures and maturity.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

test-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 2mo 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.

Test agentready assess on real repositories

You are testing the agentready assessment tool against real GitHub repositories to validate that a change works correctly.

1. Determine what to test

The user will describe what assessor behavior they want to validate (e.g., "test Husky detection", "verify the new CI gates assessor"). If the description is unclear, ask a brief clarifying question.

2. Ensure the code under test is checked out

Check which branch is currently active. If the change being tested is on a different branch or PR, check it out first. If it is a PR, use gh pr checkout <number>.

3. Select repositories

Search GitHub for repositories that are relevant to the feature being tested. For example, if testing Husky hook detection, find repos that use Husky.

How many repos:

  • Small or targeted changes: at least 1 repo
  • Larger or riskier changes: 3 to 5 repos

Selection criteria (in priority order):

  1. Relevance: repos must exercise the specific behavior being tested. This is the most important criterion.
  2. Variety of maturity: when possible, mix large popular projects with smaller or newer ones. But never sacrifice relevance for variety.

Use gh search repos, gh api, or gh search code to find candidates. Briefly confirm your repo selections with the user before cloning.

4. Clone repos to a temp directory

Create a unique temp directory for this test run:

TESTDIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/agentready-test-XXXXXX)

Shallow clone each repo into that directory:

git clone --depth 1 <repo-url> $TESTDIR/<repo-name>

5. Run assessments

Run each assessment using the local checkout, not the globally installed package:

yes | PYTHONPATH=src python -m agentready assess $TESTDIR/<repo-name>

The yes | prefix auto-confirms the large-repo prompt if it appears.

6. Report results

After each assessment completes, report to the user:

  • The repo name and the overall score/certification level
  • The specific finding(s) relevant to what is being tested, including status, score, and evidence
  • The exact paths to the JSON, HTML, and Markdown reports so the user can inspect them

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.

test-assess is a skill published in the GitHub repository ambient-code/agentready (154 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 770 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
