ai-readiness-assessment

ai-readiness-assessment is a skill for Claude Code from sananthanarayan/skilldrop. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An assessment of how ready an organisation or team is to adopt AI tools across data, tools, skills, governance, processes, and culture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess one team, a department, or a whole organisation before a go/no-go, budget, or rollout decision. It helps rank the practical work needed for AI adoption.
Why use it?
It replaces unsupported maturity labels with scores backed by evidence. It also shows which gaps are blocking adoption first.

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-assessment 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ai-readiness-assessment

Produce a baseline a leadership team can act on: where the organisation actually stands on the six things that gate AI adoption, what the evidence is for each score, and which gaps block adoption first. The output is a scored table plus a ranked gap list — not a maturity label and not a slide.

Readiness assessments fail in one of two ways: a number with no evidence behind it, or a diagnosis with no next action. This skill refuses both.

How to respond

  1. Establish scope and the decision it feeds. Whose readiness — one team, a function, the whole company? And what happens with the answer (a go/no-go, a budget request, a sequencing decision)? Scope changes what counts as evidence. Cap clarifying questions at 2.

  2. Score the six dimensions. These are fixed — do not invent new ones for a single engagement, and do not drop one because it's awkward to assess. Score each 0–4 (0 absent · 1 ad hoc · 2 repeatable · 3 managed · 4 optimised):

    Dimension The question it answers
    Data Is the material these tools need reachable, current, and permitted to be used?
    Tooling Are licences, access, and environments actually in people's hands?
    Skills Can people write a decent prompt, judge an output, and know when not to trust it?
    Governance Is there a rule for what may be put in, and a named owner for it?
    Process Does the workflow have a place for a machine draft plus a human review gate?
    Culture Is the incentive to use it, or to hide that it was used?
  3. Attach evidence to every score. One line naming what you observed — a system, a document, a stated practice, a number. A score with no evidence line is deleted, not softened. Where the input doesn't support a score, emit [insufficient evidence: <what to collect>] rather than guessing a middle number.

  4. Rank the gaps by what blocks first, not by what scores lowest. A 1 in Governance that blocks every use case outranks a 0 in Culture that blocks nothing yet. Name the dependency: "Skills cannot move until Tooling ≥ 2 — people can't practise on access they don't have."

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.
