# ๐ฉบ repo-ready
**The doctor your repo needs before AI agents move in.**
One command generates a **truthful** `AGENTS.md` + `CLAUDE.md` from what's actually in your repository โ commands proven by CI, real directory map, env vars, guardrails, definition-of-done.
A second command **audits** them for drift, so your agent docs never rot again.

## Why
Every AI coding agent asks the same first question: *"what is this project and how do I run it?"*
Today you answer it by hand-writing `AGENTS.md` โ and then it silently rots: scripts get renamed, CI changes, folders appear.
**repo-ready fixes both ends:**
1. **`init`** โ generates agent docs from *evidence*: manifests, lockfiles, CI workflows, Makefiles โ with a **confidence column**. "verified (manifest + runs in CI)" beats a hallucinated guess every day.
2. **`check`** โ audits existing docs against the live repo: dead commands, undocumented scripts, new directories, CI drift. Exit code 1 = unhealthy โ drop it into CI.
```
โ
Repo health: HEALTHY (100/100)
โ
repo-ready managed (v0.1.0)
โ
command OK: `npm run test`
โ ๏ธ package.json has scripts not documented in AGENTS.md: `db:migrate`
โ documented command `npm run ghost` no longer exists in package.json scripts
```
## Quick start
Zero dependencies, zero config:
```bash
cd your-repo
npx repo-ready scan # see what it detected โ no files written
npx repo-ready init # generate AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md
npx repo-ready check # audit any time (CI-friendly exit codes)
npx repo-ready update # regenerate after the project evolved
```
What `init` writes (example from a real repo):
```markdown
## Commands
| Purpose | Command | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| install | `npm install` | verified (package.json + lockfile) |
| dev | `npm run dev` | verified (package.json scripts) |
| test | `npm run test` | verified (manifest + runs in CI) |
## Repository layout
src/ โ application source code
public/ โ static assets served as-is
scripts/ โ utility / maintenance scripts
## Environment variables
- `DATABASE_URL` โ no default, must be set
## Do not touch
- `dist/` is generated โ never edit or commit it
- `.env` holds real secrets โ never read it, commit it, or echo it
## Definition of done
- Run `npm run test` and make it pass before claiming a task is done
- Do not commit unless the user asked for a commit
```
**Hand-written notes survive.** Everything repo-ready owns sits between `<!-- repo-ready:auto-start -->` markers โ your own paragraphs above and below them are kept on every `update`. A foreign (hand-written) `AGENTS.md` is never overwritten without `--force`.
### What it detects
| | |
|---|---|
| **Languages** | JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, PHP, C/C++, Vue, Svelte, โฆ (extension census) |
| **Package managers** | npm / pnpm / yarn / bun, poetry / uv / pipenv / pip, cargo, go modules |
| **Frameworks** | Next.js, React, Vue, Express, Fastify, NestJS, FastAPI, Django, Flask, Gin, axum, โฆ |
| **Commands** | from `package.json` scripts, `pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `Makefile` |
| **CI evidence** | parses `.github/workflows` and upgrades commands to *โruns in CIโ* |
| **Guardrails** | generated dirs, lockfiles, `.env`, published-package versioning |
## The check mode ๐ฉบ
```bash
npx repo-ready check && echo "docs are honest" || echo "docs rotted"
```
Verifies that every documented command still exists, flags scripts/dirs missing from the docs, compares against what CI actually runs, and scores the result 0โ100 (`healthy โฅ 90`, `stale`, `critical`). Non-zero exit on anything but healthy โ wire it into CI and your agent docs can never silently rot again.
## Plug into your agent
### ZCode / Claude Code โ as a plugin (recommended)
Add this repo as a plugin marketplace and install โ you get the skill, a `/repo-ready` command and the MCP server in one shot:
- **ZCode:** Plugin Marketplace โ Add โ paste `temmeik/repo-ready` โ install **Repo Ready**
- **Claude Code:** `claude plugin marketplace add temmeik/repo-ready` โ `/plugin install repo-ready@repo-ready`
### As an Agent Skill (manual)
Copy [`skills/repo-ready/SKILL.md`](skills/repo-ready/SKILL.md) into your skills directory:
`~/.claude/skills/repo-ready/SKILL.md` โ then just ask the agent to *"make this repo agent-ready"*.
### As an MCP server
```bash
# Claude Code
claude mcp add repo-ready -- npx github:temmeik/repo-ready mcp
# Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)
[mcp_servers.repo-ready]
command = "npx"
args = ["github:temmeik/repo-ready", "mcp"]
```
Tools exposed: `repo_scan` ยท `repo_generate` ยท `repo_check`
## Monorepo? Rust? Python?
Yes. Workspaces, Turborepo and pnpm-workspace are detected; Go/Rust/Python get native command sets (`go test ./...`, `cargo test`, `poetry run pytest`) โ all covered by 41 e2e assertions in [`test/e2e.js`](test/e2e.js), including a run against this repo's own sister project.
