At a glance

Make any repo AI-ready — analyzes your codebase and generates AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, CI workflows, issue templates, and more.

  • Works in 4 steps: Tell the user to add the skill by… → Remind the user to review the skill… → After the user confirms they've reviewed… → …
  • The user asks to make this repo ai-ready
  • Calls make
  • Set up AI config

What it does

AI Ready is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Make any repo AI-ready — analyzes your codebase and generates AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, CI workflows, issue templates, and more. Mines your PR review patterns and creates files customized to your stack. USE THIS SKILL when the user asks to "make this repo ai-ready", "set up AI config", or "prepare this repo for AI contributions".

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to make this repo ai-ready
  • Set up AI config
  • Prepare this repo for AI contributions

Example prompts

  • “make this repo ai-ready”
  • “set up AI config”
  • “prepare this repo for AI contributions”
  • “/ai-ready”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Tell the user to add the skill by running this command inside Copilot CLI
  2. Remind the user to review the skill before loading it. They can inspect it with
  3. After the user confirms they've reviewed and installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo…
  4. Do not run the command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Ready loads about 364 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~364

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

AI Ready

This skill helps the user install the latest ai-ready skill by John Papa.

Why?: The full ai-ready skill is ~600 lines of detailed instructions that evolve frequently. This wrapper keeps it discoverable here while the source of truth stays in johnpapa/ai-ready — always up to date.

Steps

  1. Tell the user to add the skill by running this command inside Copilot CLI:

    /skills add johnpapa/ai-ready

    This downloads the latest version of the skill to their personal skills directory. Re-running the command updates to the latest version.

  2. Remind the user to review the skill before loading it. They can inspect it with:

    bash
    head -20 ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md

  3. After the user confirms they've reviewed and installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo ai-ready.

  4. Do not run the command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
