repo-readiness-audit

repo-readiness-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asimons81/hermes-field-kit. It costs 48 tokens per session (3,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only review of whether a software repository is ready for more development, a release, a handoff, or a new contributor. It checks relevant parts of the project separately and records what could not be verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find unfinished work, missing tests or documentation, unclear project state, and other issues that could block the next feature, release, handoff, or contribution.
Why use it?
A clean working tree, passing tests, or a successful local build does not prove that the whole project is ready. The review highlights missing evidence and remaining risks before work continues.

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

repo-readiness-audit 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 (scripts/validate_bundle.py, tests/test_contracts.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.

Repository Readiness Audit

Overview

Use this skill to answer a broad repository-state question before new work begins. It determines whether the repository is ready for further development, release work, a new feature, a handoff, or a new contributor.

This is a read-only evidence audit. It does not repair findings. It does not equate a clean working tree, passing tests, or a green local build with overall repository readiness. It verifies each relevant surface independently and records any surface that could not be checked.

This skill covers repository-level readiness. Packaging integrity, upgrade rehearsal, registry publication, signed artifacts, deployment verification, and post-release checks require additional release-specific evidence. When those surfaces matter but cannot be inspected, record them under Not Verified and reduce the verdict accordingly.

When to Use

Load this skill for requests such as:

  • "Is this repo ready for further development?"
  • "Where did we leave off?"
  • "Can I start the next feature?"
  • "Audit this repository before we continue."
  • "Is everything merged, tested, and documented?"
  • "Give me a release-readiness check."
  • "What is blocking this project?"
  • "Is this ready to hand to another developer?"
  • "Can a new contributor safely start here?"

A repository must be identified by an exact local path, a repository URL, or a current working directory that can be verified as a Git repository.

Counter-Triggers

Do not load this skill for:

  • A simple code review of one file or one diff.
  • Implementing a feature, bug fix, migration, or refactor.
  • Automatically fixing every issue found.
  • Generic Git or GitHub explanations.
  • A feature-duplication investigation focused only on whether one proposed feature already exists.
  • An incoming prototype assessment focused only on real versus simulated code.
  • A packaging-only, artifact-signing, publication, or post-release verification audit.
  • Any request where no repository has been identified.
