Agent Readiness
Assess, harden, scaffold, and diagnose a repository's agent-readiness for coding-agent
harnesses (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Windsurf, Aider). Harness-agnostic and
portable-first (AGENTS.md, SKILL.md, MCP, OpenTelemetry). Grounding lives in skill.json;
this file is runtime routing only. This is the repo-hardening arm of the
design-for-agent-users discipline, which routes here to harden a repo.
Produces: an intent-specific report — assess-report.md, harden-recommendation.md,
scaffold-bundle.md, or diagnose-runbook.md. Tracked assessments also emit
harden-repo-for-coding-agents-findings-ledger-<date>-<slug>.md and
harden-repo-for-coding-agents-workflow-state-<date>-<slug>.json.
Core principle
Make the repository legible to a stateless, context-bound LLM that must rediscover the project on every turn — through deterministic structure, hand-curated instructions (never autogenerated), executable boundaries, and replayable feedback loops. Three claims recur in every playbook:
