Autonomous Agent Readiness Assessment

Evaluate a codebase against proven patterns for autonomous agent execution and provide tailored recommendations.

Core Philosophy

Most agent failures are system design failures, not model failures. An agent that requires human approval at every step or depends on a developer's laptop being open is not autonomous. Autonomy is an infrastructure decision.

Assessment Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery

Gather information about the project's current state:

1. Examine project structure
   • Look for CI/CD configuration (.github/workflows/, Jenkinsfile, .gitlab-ci.yml)
   • Check for containerization (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, devcontainer.json)
   • Identify test infrastructure (tests/, __tests__/, test config files)
   • Find environment management (.env.example, requirements.txt, package.json)
