agent-readiness-report

A repository assessment that measures how ready a codebase is for autonomous AI-assisted development. It checks instructions, feedback loops, automation, rules, and the build and development environment across 74 features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a repository and produce a structured agent-readiness report. It helps identify gaps in documentation, tests, workflows, governance, and developer setup.
Why use it?
It shows what an AI agent can already understand, run, and verify in a repository, and what is missing. This replaces a manual review of many files and configuration details.

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-readiness-report 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/scan_agent_instructions.sh, scripts/scan_build_env.sh, scripts/scan_feedback_loops.sh, …), 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.

Agent Readiness Report

Evaluate how well a repository supports autonomous AI-assisted development.

What this does

Assess a codebase across five pillars that determine whether an AI agent can work effectively in a repository. The output is a structured report identifying what's present and what's missing.

Five Pillars

Pillar Question Features
Agent Instructions Does the agent know what to do? 18
Feedback Loops Does the agent know if it's right? 16
Workflows & Automation Does the process support agent work? 15
Policy & Governance Does the agent know the rules? 13
Build & Dev Environment Can the agent build and run the project? 12

74 features total. See references/criteria.md for the full list with descriptions and evidence examples.

How to run

Step 1: Run the scanner scripts

Five shell scripts gather filesystem signals — file existence, config patterns, directory structures. They surface what's present so you don't have to run dozens of find commands manually.

bash scripts/scan_agent_instructions.sh /path/to/repo
bash scripts/scan_feedback_loops.sh /path/to/repo
bash scripts/scan_workflows.sh /path/to/repo
bash scripts/scan_policy.sh /path/to/repo
bash scripts/scan_build_env.sh /path/to/repo

Or scan all five at once:

for s in scripts/scan_*.sh; do bash "$s" /path/to/repo; echo; done

On Windows, run these .sh helpers from Git Bash or WSL and pass a path that environment can read. Native PowerShell cannot execute the shell scripts directly.

Important: The scripts are helpers, not scorers. They find files and patterns but do not evaluate quality. Many features require judgment that only reading the actual files can provide — for example, whether a README includes real build commands or just badges, whether inline documentation is systematic or scattered, whether an AI usage policy has meaningful boundaries.

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

agent-readiness-report is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenHands/extensions (137 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,019 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
