agent-readiness

agent-readiness is a skill for Codex from zacharygcook/agent-skills. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for checking how safely and effectively a coding agent can work in a software repository, using a transparent 82-criterion assessment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or compare repositories, create readiness reports, set preferences, and improve one failing criterion at a time when authorized.
Why use it?
It reveals missing instructions, safeguards, or repository practices that could make agent-assisted development unreliable.

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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/agent_eval.py, scripts/readiness.py, scripts/test_agent_eval.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.

Agent Readiness

Produce a personally owned, vendor-neutral readiness assessment from a transparent 82-criterion rubric. Prefer real engineering capability over score theater and make every judgment auditable.

Choose the operation

  • Audit-report: inspect and score without changing the repository, then generate HTML, PDF when local Chromium is available, Markdown, and JSON artifacts.
  • Initialize preferences: copy assets/DEFAULT_AGENT_READINESS_PREFERENCES.md to AGENT_READINESS_PREFERENCES.md in the repository root only when the user requests it or approves repository changes. Never overwrite an existing file.
  • Remediate-one: score, select one failing criterion, implement a durable repo-specific fix, validate it, rescore it, and commit only that fix when authorized.
  • Improve-to-target: repeat one criterion and one commit at a time until the requested owned percentage or level is reached, or a genuine blocker requires user authority.
  • Compare: compare two assessments or reports and make regressions visible even when the total score rises.

For audit-report or compare, read references/rubric.json and references/report-workflow.md completely. For remediate-one or improve-to-target, also read references/remediation-loop.md. Apply preferences in this order: explicit instructions in the current request, root AGENT_READINESS_PREFERENCES.md, then assets/DEFAULT_AGENT_READINESS_PREFERENCES.md. State which file was used. Preferences guide how to implement a capability; they are not standing permission to create or connect third-party accounts, accept costs, install external apps, add secrets, or mutate production.

Audit workflow

  1. Read repository instructions and preferences before evaluating anything.
  2. Record the current commit and dirty-tree state. Audits are read-only.
  3. Discover deployable/runnable applications from source, manifests, workspace configuration, and deployment files. Libraries are applications only when independently built, tested, or shipped.
  4. Evaluate all 82 criteria. Repository criteria receive one judgment. Application criteria receive one judgment per application: pass, fail, or not_applicable.
  5. Use not_applicable only for skippable criteria and explain why that application is outside the criterion's actual risk surface. Never infer failure merely from inapplicability.
  6. Require concrete evidence for every pass. Prefer source/config paths and successful commands; external-state criteria may cite CLI/API output. Do not award credit for prose claiming an implementation exists when the implementation is absent.
  7. Create an assessment matching references/assessment-format.md. Record command and external-state checks in provenance.evidence_checks; store concise summaries, timestamps, and exit status rather than secrets or raw output.
  8. Add repository-aware recommendations following references/report-workflow.md, then validate and render it with:

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.
