/acreadiness-assess — AI-readiness assessment

Use this skill whenever the user asks for an AI-readiness assessment, a readiness check, an audit, or wants to see how AI-ready their repository is.

This skill is the Measure step in AgentRC’s Measure → Generate → Maintain loop. The result is a self-contained HTML dashboard the user can open with file:// or commit to the repo.

Steps

Confirm prerequisites. Node 20+ must be on PATH. If unsure, run node --version.
Decide on a policy (optional but encouraged):
- If the user provided --policy <source>, capture it.
- Otherwise check agentrc.config.json for a policies array.
- If neither, run with no policy (built-in defaults).
- For a primer on policies, suggest the acreadiness-policy skill.
Run the readiness scan in the repo root with structured output:
```
npx -y github:microsoft/agentrc readiness --json [--policy <source>] [--per-area]
```
The CommandResult<T> JSON envelope is your input for the next step.
Hand off to the ai-readiness-reporter custom agent to interpret the JSON and produce reports/index.html. The agent renders via the bundled template report-template.html (shipped alongside this skill) so every report has an identical look & feel. The agent:
- Reads the bundled report-template.html and substitutes placeholders with real data.
- Inlines all CSS, ships a single static file (works under file://).
- Renders maturity level, overall score, grade, pass-rate vs threshold.
- Breaks down all 9 pillars across Repo Health (8) and AI Setup (1) with what it measures, why it matters for AI, current state, and a specific recommendation.
- Tags every pillar with an AI relevance badge (High / Medium / Low).
- Surfaces Extras separately (they never affect the score).
- Shows the Active Policy including any disabled/overridden criteria and thresholds.
- Produces a Prioritised Remediation Plan (🔴 Fix First / 🟡 Fix Next / 🔵 Plan).
- Embeds the raw AgentRC JSON for reuse.
Tell the user where the report lives (reports/index.html) and how to open it. Summarise in chat: maturity level, overall score, top three lowest pillars, and the single highest-leverage next action (almost always: run the acreadiness-generate-instructions skill).

Notes

AgentRC also has a built-in HTML renderer (--visual / --output report.html) but its output is intentionally generic. This skill produces a tailored, opinionated dashboard via the custom agent — closer to a code review than a metrics dump.
For CI gating, recommend agentrc readiness --fail-level <n> (1–5).
The skill never modifies repository files other than creating reports/index.html.

About this skill

Trigger

Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.

Colophon for this issue

How this issue was made

Source

github.com/github/awesome-copilot, branch main, last pushed 24 September 2026.

Licence

MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.

Discovery

200 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 2 distinct layouts observed: .github/skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/*/SKILL.md.

Authorship

3 of 200 skills are installed into the repository rather than published from it. They are shelved in the closing “Credited skills” part and remain the work of their own authors. A skill counts as credited when its only copy lives under one agent’s dot directory; visible directories, per-agent mirror sets, and skills installable from this repository on skills.sh all count as published.

Issue colours

Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 295°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Heading repairs

1 repair applied to this skill so the document has one h1 and no skipped levels:

Shifted “3 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.

Spec compliance

Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.

Images

Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Marketplace

A plugin manifest is published at .github/plugin/marketplace.json by GitHub, declaring 162 plugins. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree.

Signal

Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /github/awesome-copilot.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
