name: readiness-scorecard description: Write a scorecard — a dark, skimmable one-screen readout of the current situation in the user's work, rendered as a terminal (TUI) artifact by the scorecard binary from a structured markdown file. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a scorecard (or a "readiness card" / "go/no-go card" / "coverage snapshot card"). A plain "status", "status?", or other status/situation question gets a prose answer, never this skill. NOT a web page — output is the dark TUI. Preserves older scorecards by datestamp. Triggers on: scorecard, readiness card, go/no-go card, coverage snapshot card.

Scorecard — run scorecard prime --srs

The canonical guide lives in the binary. Run:

scorecard prime --srs

and follow it. Bare scorecard prime is only a short nudge (token-saving); the full primer needs --srs (or --srrs / any number of r's). It covers the markdown schema, content-groups (topic + built-in type groups), fit/all modes, the remove / close-box / install-handler actions, and the compose-well + preserve-with-datestamp conventions. This skill is just the trigger; prime --srs is the source of truth (so it can't drift).

The short version: write the scorecard as markdown to ~/.config/scorecard/status.md, preserving the prior one first:

mv ~/.config/scorecard/status.md ~/.config/scorecard/status-$(date +%F).md   # if it exists

then render:

scorecard --width "$COLUMNS" --height "$LINES" ~/.config/scorecard/status.md

If the binary is missing: cargo install --path ~/repo/dotfiles/scorecard --root ~/.local. Output is the dark terminal TUI — never a web page.

Link every PR reference: repo#123 must be [repo#123](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123) everywhere it appears — id cells, notes, and especially Callouts/prose (the usual miss). Anchor text names the PR or action, never "link"/"here". A bare PR number can't be clicked, and the scorecard exists to be acted on.
