ai-readiness

ai-readiness is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/financial-services. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,380 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A portfolio review workflow for finding and ranking practical uses of artificial intelligence across multiple companies. It reviews quarterly updates, board materials, and financial information to assess readiness.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan one or more companies, identify automation opportunities and existing initiatives, check whether usable data is available, and create a ranked action list.
Why use it?
It helps an investment team compare opportunities across its portfolio and focus operating support where the data, timing, and likely benefit make an AI project worthwhile.

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 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 today.

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.

Portfolio AI Readiness

Workflow

Step 1: Connect to Portfolio Data

First, ask the user where the portfolio materials live. Don't assume — offer the options:

  • MCP servers — data room, SharePoint, Google Drive, or a portfolio-ops database if one is connected
  • Local files — a folder path on disk with quarterly decks, financials, board packs
  • File uploads — drag PDFs, PowerPoint, or Excel directly into the conversation

Once connected, pull quarterly updates, board decks, and financials for the portfolio (or a subset). For each company, extract: sector, revenue, headcount by function, tech stack mentioned, and any AI/automation initiatives already in flight.

If the user provides a single company, still run the scan but skip the cross-portfolio ranking.

Ask up front if not obvious from materials:

  • Hold period remaining per company (AI payback matters less 12 months from exit)
  • Whether any portco has already deployed something that worked

Step 2: Per-Company Scan

For each company, answer three gate questions. All three yes → Go. Any no → Wait with a note on what unblocks it.

  1. Is the data there? Can they produce a clean input for the use case — customer list, invoice feed, contract repository — without a 6-month data project first?
  2. Is there an owner? Someone on the management team who will drive this, not a sponsor who will "support" it.
  3. Can we pilot in 30 days? One team, one workflow, off-the-shelf tooling. If the answer starts with "first we'd need to...", it's not a quick win.

Then identify the top 2-3 leverage points. Look for these patterns in the cost structure and operations:

Back Office (usually fastest to pilot)

  • Invoice processing, AP/AR matching, expense categorization
  • Contract abstraction — vendor agreements, leases, customer MSAs
  • Month-end close: reconciliations, flux commentary, lender reporting first drafts

Revenue / Front Office

  • RFP and proposal first drafts — big lever if revenue is project-based
  • Sales call summaries and CRM hygiene
  • Customer support ticket triage and first-response drafting
  • Quoting for configured / complex products
