| description | Remediate a project's agentic-readiness gaps by generating missing, project-specific files: AGENTS.md (primary, vendor-neutral) + target bridges, .env.example, .gitignore secret coverage, docs/agent-execution.md, CI + pre-commit baselines, Dependabot/Renovate, specs/ADR/issue templates, Makefile targets, and a generated repo index. Reads prior scores, prioritizes by impact, acts only on skill/partial-fixable sub-criteria, surfaces manual ones, and shows a before/after delta. Use after /agent-ready scan to close identified gaps. |

Agent-Ready Fix — Remediate Readiness Gaps (v2)
Generate the missing, project-specific files that raise a codebase's agentic-readiness score. Brownfield by default: read prior scores, prioritize the highest-impact gaps, act only on what our skills can actually generate, and surface the rest as manual steps.
Canonical rubric: .claude/skills/agent-ready/references/scoring.md — the single source of truth for the 7 dimensions, sub-criterion ids, weights, layer tags, score math, and the v2 JSON schema. Do not re-derive numbers here.
Remediation registry: .claude/skills/agent-ready/references/remediation.md — keyed by the same ids; supplies fixable_by (skill|partial|manual), fix_ref, why, consequence, effort. This file decides what fix touches: act on skill and partial only; manual items are listed with their steps, never auto-generated.
Phase 0: ARGUMENTS
Parse $ARGUMENTS (order-independent):
- dimension-id — an optional dimension or sub-criterion id (e.g.
security_sandbox, secret_hygiene). If present, restrict remediation to that scope; else fix all impactful gaps.
- path — first non-flag, non-id token: target dir (default cwd).
--agents — target list (claude,codex,opencode,pi). If absent, detect posture as scan does: AGENTS.md present → portable; a single dominant vendor dir (e.g. only .claude/) → infer that agent. Targets drive bridge generation only.
Phase 1: LOAD PRIOR SCORES
- Read
.agent-ready/agent-ready-scores.json (v2 path; replaces v1 claudedocs/).
- If missing or
schema_version != 2, invoke /agent-ready-scan <path> [--agents ...] first, then re-read.
- Parse each dimension's
raw_score and per-sub-criterion { score, fixable_by, na }.
Phase 2: PRIORITIZE
Rank gaps by impact = dimension_weight × (100 − raw_score) / 100 (highest first). Within a dimension, prioritize sub-criteria with the lowest score and fixable_by: skill over partial. If a dimension-id filter was given, keep only that scope. Skip any sub-criterion at 100 or na: true.
Phase 3: UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT
Before generating anything, read the project so output is contextual, never boilerplate:
- Stack:
pyproject.toml, package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc.
- Commands: existing build/test/lint from Makefile,
package.json scripts, pyproject.toml [tool.*], tox.ini. Use test_commands.py when python3 is available.
- Tooling: ruff/eslint/prettier/rustfmt/mypy/tsconfig config present.
- Structure & conventions: top-level dirs, naming style, workspace/monorepo boundaries.
- Env vars: grep for
os.environ/os.getenv/process.env/env::var/System.getenv references.
- Existing artifacts: never plan to overwrite a file that exists.
Phase 4: SELECT GENERATORS
For each prioritized gap, map its sub-criterion id to a generator below (fixable_by: skill|partial only). Each generator produces real, detected content. manual sub-criteria are collected for Phase 6 instead.
Dim 1 — Agent Instructions & Context
primary_instruction_file / instruction_quality (skill/partial): generate AGENTS.md as the PRIMARY instruction file — concise, < 200 lines, project-specific: overview, exact build/test/lint commands, structure pointers, naming/import conventions, a short safe-to-run/security note. No generic boilerplate; flag spots needing a human gotcha pass (partial).instruction_conciseness (partial): if an existing instruction file is bloated (per instruction_audit.py), propose moving detail into references/ / scoped files; never delete content unasked.hierarchical_instructions (skill): for detected packages/workspaces, scaffold nested AGENTS.md stubs seeded with each area's commands and structure.cross_agent_bridge (skill): target-aware bridges. For a claude target: ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md. For codex/opencode/pi: do NOT duplicate — they read AGENTS.md natively; note this and report any contradictory pre-existing copies to remove.
Dim 2 — Navigability & Code Intelligence
repo_map_availability (partial): run python3 .claude/skills/agent-ready/scripts/repo_map.py <path> and write a generated repo index (top-N ranked files/symbols) to .agent-ready/repo-index.md; link it from AGENTS.md.readme_overview (partial): scaffold a README skeleton (purpose, setup, usage, structure) from the detected stack — only if README is absent or very sparse.
Dim 3 — Testing & Feedback
test_commands_documented (skill): document the detected test command(s) in AGENTS.md and add Makefile test/lint targets when no task runner exists.fast_feedback_loop (partial): document a quick-subset command convention.feedback_quality (partial): scaffold a type-checker config (mypy.ini/[tool.mypy] or tsconfig strict) for the stack.coverage_reasonable (partial): scaffold a coverage config + target (pytest-cov/coverage/nyc).
Dim 4 — CI/CD, Automation & Governance
ci_runs_tests_lint (skill): generate .github/workflows/ci.yml (or ecosystem equivalent) running the detected test + lint commands.lint_format_automated (skill): add a baseline linter/formatter config for the stack and wire it into Makefile/CI.pre_commit_hooks (skill): generate .pre-commit-config.yaml wired to the detected lint/format/secret tools.governance (skill): generate a CODEOWNERS skeleton and a Dependabot (.github/dependabot.yml) or Renovate (renovate.json) config for detected ecosystems.
Dim 5 — Agent Tooling & Capabilities
standard_skills / bundled_helper_scripts (partial): scaffold a conformant SKILL.md + scripts/ skeleton in a standard path.mcp_declaration (skill): generate a baseline .mcp.json with an honest per-vendor portability note.
Dim 6 — Security & Sandbox
documented_execution_policy (skill): generate docs/agent-execution.md — vendor-neutral documented sandbox/execution policy listing LINCE among devcontainer / OS-sandbox / hosted options, plus a safe-to-run command list. This is where non-detectable runtime sandboxes earn credit.secret_hygiene (partial): add secret patterns to .gitignore (.env, *.pem, id_rsa, *credentials*, *.key) and generate a redacted .env.example from discovered env-var refs (no real values). Note: enabling host secret scanning + push protection is the manual half.committed_isolation_config (partial): scaffold a .devcontainer/ note/template with a default-deny egress allowlist; hardening to true isolation is human work.supply_chain_pinning (partial): generate Dependabot/Renovate config and flag any gitignored lockfiles (uv.lock/package-lock.json/Cargo.lock/go.sum) to commit.
Dim 7 — Spec-Driven Workflow & Docs
spec_tasks_dir (skill): scaffold specs/TEMPLATE.md (delta-scoped task template with an acceptance-criteria section).issue_pr_templates (skill): generate .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature.yml + bug.yml and a PR template.adr_decisions (partial): scaffold docs/adr/0001-record-architecture-decisions.md (ADR template).docs_comprehension_signals (partial): scaffold an ARCHITECTURE.md skeleton and a CHANGELOG.md; report type/docstring coverage gaps from coverage_signals.py.
Phase 5: CONFIRMATION GATE
List every file to be created or appended, then wait for explicit approval. Show what each does and mark files that already exist as skipped. Do not write anything before approval.
## Files to Generate (impact-ordered)
1. ✨ AGENTS.md — primary instructions: build/test/lint, structure, conventions (<200 lines)
2. 🔗 CLAUDE.md → AGENTS.md — symlink bridge (target: claude)
3. ✨ docs/agent-execution.md — documented sandbox policy (LINCE / devcontainer / OS-sandbox / hosted) + safe-to-run list
4. ✨ .env.example — redacted, from 4 discovered env-var refs
5. ➕ .gitignore — append secret patterns (.env, *.pem, id_rsa, *credentials*)
6. ✨ .github/workflows/ci.yml — runs `pytest` + `ruff check`
7. ✨ .pre-commit-config.yaml — ruff, ruff-format, detect-secrets
8. ✨ specs/TEMPLATE.md — delta-scoped spec template w/ acceptance criteria
9. ⏭️ tests/ — already exists, skipping
Manual (surfaced, NOT generated): semantic_nav_amenability, test_suite_present, nav_comprehension_mcp_servers, agent_permission_policy — see Phase 6.
Proceed? (y/n)
Phase 6: SURFACE MANUAL ITEMS
For every prioritized gap whose fixable_by is manual, print the sub-criterion, its why/consequence, and the concrete fix_ref steps from remediation.md (e.g. add static types for semantic_nav_amenability; wire Serena/Sourcegraph for nav_comprehension_mcp_servers; author restrictive deny rules for agent_permission_policy; write characterization tests for test_suite_present). Never silently drop these.
Phase 7: GENERATE
After approval, write the approved files. Append (never overwrite) where sensible (.gitignore, existing AGENTS.md sections, Makefile targets). Respect .gitignore — do not create files inside ignored dirs. Create ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md only when claude is a target and CLAUDE.md does not already exist.
Phase 8: RE-SCAN & DELTA
Re-run the scan logic (/agent-ready-scan <path> [--agents ...]) to recompute scores, then show a before/after delta:
## 🔧 Agent-Ready Fix Results
### Files Generated
- ✅ AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md (symlink), docs/agent-execution.md, .env.example, .pre-commit-config.yaml, specs/TEMPLATE.md
- ➕ .gitignore (secret patterns appended)
### Score Delta

Level 🟡 Partial 🟢 Ready
### Still Manual
- semantic_nav_amenability (High) · test_suite_present (High) · nav_comprehension_mcp_servers (Med)
Critical Rules
- NEVER overwrite existing files — create new, or append to existing where sensible.
remediation.md is authoritative — act only on fixable_by: skill|partial; surface manual with steps.- AGENTS.md is primary — vendor-neutral, < 200 lines; bridge to
claude via symlink; codex/opencode/pi read it natively (no drift-prone copies).
- Contextualize everything — read the project first; real, detected content only, no boilerplate or placeholders.
- Confirmation gate — always list files and wait for approval before writing.
- Respect
.gitignore and match existing naming/formatting/structure conventions.
- Always show the before/after delta by re-running the scan logic.
