Legacy To AI Ready

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Analyzing old projects to generate AI coding configurations
• Creating CLAUDE.md
• Rules for existing projects
• User wants to enable vibe coding for a codebase

Example prompts

• “make project AI-ready”
• “generate Claude config”
• “create coding standards for AI”
• “/legacy-to-ai-ready”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Automated Analysis
2. 2Context Gathering
3. 35: Discover Existing Resources
4. 4Generate Configurations
5. 5Validate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d167b41. 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

  Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  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

Legacy To AI Ready loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 709 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~124

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~17k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:87

  - **Sensitive files** (warns about .env, credentials)

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Transform legacy codebases into AI-ready projects with Claude Code configurations. Use when (1) analyzing old projects to generate AI coding configurations, (2) creating CLAUDE.md, skills, subagents, slash commands, hooks, or rules for existing projects, (3) user wants to enable vibe coding for a codebase, (4) onboarding new team members with AI-assisted development, (5) user mentions "make project AI-ready", "generate Claude config", or "create coding standards for AI".
