# Repo readiness

> Use when checking whether a repository has the context files coding agents need.

Use this skill when evaluating whether a repository is ready for AI-assisted development, improving how coding agents operate within a codebase, or identifying missing context and workflow documentation. Especially useful when the user wants better AI collaboration, more reliable agent behavior, or standardized AI workflows across a repository. Checks for agent context files, coding instructions, and reusable AI workflows, then recommends high-impact improvements and can help create missing artifacts on request.

## Use it

I want to use the Repo readiness skill by Angie Jones.
This is what it does, in the author's own words: Use this skill when evaluating whether a repository is ready for AI-assisted development, improving how coding agents operate within a codebase, or identifying missing context and workflow documentation. Especially useful when the user wants better AI collaboration, more reliable agent behavior, or standardized AI workflows across a repository. Checks for agent context files, coding instructions, and reusable AI workflows, then recommends high-impact improvements and can help create missing artifacts on request.
Download the whole folder at https://github.com/angiejones/skills/tree/main/repo-readiness, SKILL.md and every file beside it, into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/repo-readiness/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/repo-readiness/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/repo-readiness/ for Cursor. Get it from the author's repo, not from startupskills.dev.
Then tell me the path you installed it to and how to invoke it.

Nothing here is vendored: install from the author's repo. This file carries none of the author's file.
