Features

• 8 Aspect Analysis - Documentation, Architecture, Testing, Type Safety, Agent Instructions, File Structure, Context Optimization, Security
• 95 Sub-criteria - Deep analysis with 10-15 checks per aspect
• ASCII Dashboard - Visual progress bars and overall A-F grade
• Severity Classification - Critical / Warning / Info issue grouping
• Interactive Survey - Choose which issues to address
• Phased Roadmap - Quick Wins → Foundation → Advanced
• Template Generation - CLAUDE.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, llms.txt
• Progress Tracking - Delta comparison between runs (↑+5, ↓-3)
• Language Agnostic - Works with any programming language

Installation

Via skills.sh (recommended)

npx skills add viktor-silakov/ai-ready

skills.sh — universal skills manager for AI agents

Via npx

npx ai-ready-skill

Via npm

npm install -g ai-ready-skill
ai-ready-skill install

Usage

After installation, use in Claude Code:

# Analyze current directory
/ai-ready

# Analyze specific repository
/ai-ready /path/to/repo

CLI Commands

npx ai-ready-skill install   # Install skill (default)
npx ai-ready-skill check     # Check if installed
npx ai-ready-skill update    # Update to latest version
npx ai-ready-skill remove    # Remove skill
npx ai-ready-skill help      # Show help

Workflow

1. Discovery - Detects language, framework, existing files
2. Analysis - Evaluates all 8 aspects with sub-criteria
3. Scoring - Calculates weighted scores and overall grade
4. Dashboard - Displays ASCII progress bars
5. Problems - Lists issues grouped by severity
6. Survey - Asks which issues to fix (Critical=Y, others=N)
7. Plan Mode - Creates phased implementation roadmap
8. Templates - Generates missing files from templates
9. Report - Saves AI-READINESS-REPORT.md with history

Aspects & Weights

Aspect	Weight	Key Checks
Documentation	15%	README, JSDoc, ADRs, ARCHITECTURE.md
Architecture	15%	Modularity, boundaries, coupling, cohesion
Testing	12%	Coverage, co-location, naming, CI integration
Type Safety	12%	Strict mode, any usage, null safety
Agent Instructions	15%	CLAUDE.md completeness and quality
File Structure	10%	150-500 LOC, nesting ≤5, files per dir ≤15
Context Optimization	11%	llms.txt, chunking-friendly, why-comments
Security	10%	.aiignore, secrets, PII, NEVER rules

Grade Scale

Grade	Score	Description
A	90-100	Excellent - AI-ready
B	75-89	Good - Minor improvements needed
C	60-74	Moderate - Notable gaps
D	45-59	Poor - Significant work needed
F	0-44	Critical - Major overhaul required

Severity Levels

Critical (blocks AI effectiveness)

• Missing CLAUDE.md
• Missing README.md
• Files over 1000 LOC
• Hardcoded secrets

Warning (impacts efficiency)

• Files 500-1000 LOC
• Missing ARCHITECTURE.md
• Test coverage <50%
• Deep nesting (>5 levels)

Info (optimization opportunities)

• Files 400-500 LOC
• Missing llms.txt
• Minor documentation gaps

Generated Templates

The skill can generate these files:

• CLAUDE.md - AI assistant guide with project context, commands, conventions, ALWAYS/NEVER rules
• ARCHITECTURE.md - C4-style documentation with diagrams and design decisions
• llms.txt - LLM-optimized project index for quick context loading

Output Files

After running, the skill creates:

your-repo/
└── AI-READINESS-REPORT.md    # Full report with history tracking

Requirements

• Claude Code CLI
• Node.js >= 18.0.0
