eight-pillar-readiness-map

eight-pillar-readiness-map is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills. It costs 177 tokens per session (2,293 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A readiness assessment for agentic graph systems, which use connected data and automated task flows. It rates capabilities across eight areas, including knowledge, memory, reasoning, planning, and tool use.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for mapping present, partial, and missing capabilities, finding dependency violations, and linking remaining gaps to common agent-system problems.
Why use it?
It shows which foundations are missing and flags cases where a system claims a later capability without the earlier one it depends on.

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

eight-pillar-readiness-map 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (cli.py, lib.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Eight-Pillar Readiness Map

Overview

The dual-graph architecture is the structural framework; the eight pillars are the implementation roadmap — the specific capabilities that turn the framework into a working system. Each pillar emerged from a recurring production failure pattern, and the pillars are layered, not independent: knowledge representation (Ch3) must come first because every other pillar depends on the knowledge graph; memory (Ch4) builds on it; reasoning and planning (Ch5) require both; tool orchestration (Ch6) requires all of those; and the final two, self-evolution (Ch7) and optimization (Ch8), depend on the complete architecture being in place.

This skill takes a system's declared capability per pillar (present / partial / missing) and produces a readiness map:

  • a readiness score (weighted across the eight pillars),
  • dependency violations — a higher pillar claimed present while a lower one it requires is missing (the chapter says this is structurally unsound),
  • unresolved Chapter-1 flaws — mapping remaining gaps back to the five flaws per Table 2-1 (relationship blindness, context amnesia, temporal ignorance, reasoning paralysis, tool chaos),
  • the next pillar to build (always the earliest incomplete layer, because building higher first creates a violation).

The DevOps agent's Chapter-2 initial state is the worked example: knowledge representation only partial (the data exists in logs and configs but is not a graph), everything else missing, all five flaws open. It is a "representation problem, not a technology problem."

When to Use

  • Auditing an agentic-graph system's production readiness
  • Planning the build order for a new agent (which pillar next?)
  • Checking that a claimed capability is not resting on a missing foundation
  • Tracking progress across the book's parts (each part adds a pillar-layer)

Phrases that should invoke this skill: "map the eight pillars", "which pillar should we build next", "is this agent production-ready", "pillar readiness", "what flaws are still unsolved", "eight-pillar audit".

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.
