SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams adopting AI coding agents often lack the documentation, tests, linting, and structure agents need to work effectively, and have no systematic way to measure or close those gaps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 16-Principle Audit: Scores a codebase 0-2 on each of 16 principles across three pillars (Codebase Memory, Implementation Feedbacks, Mapping the Context) with evidence-based findings and a total out of 32. - Guided Setup Mode: Runs the audit first, then proposes concrete fixes such as ADR templates, AGENTS.md generation, linter configs, and CI checks, creating files only after user approval. - Stack-Adaptive Checks: Detects Node/TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, and other stacks, then maps principles to ecosystem tooling like ESLint, ruff, clippy, or golangci-lint. - Use Case: Before onboarding an AI agent to a legacy repository, run the audit to get a prioritized gap report, then use setup mode to generate an AGENTS.md entry point and ADR structure from actual codebase analysis. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit this repository against the 16 agentic codebase principles and produce a scored report with prioritized improvement actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a codebase for AI agent readiness?▼

Run the audit mode, which detects your project stack, checks evidence for each of the 16 principles using glob and grep patterns, scores each 0-2, and produces a per-pillar report totaling 32 points with prioritized actions.

What is the agentic codebase 16-principle manifesto?▼

It is a framework of 16 principles across three pillars: Codebase Memory (docs, ADRs, solutions), Implementation Feedbacks (tests, linting, structured logging), and Mapping the Context (AGENTS.md, modularity, layering), plus cross-cutting simplicity and decomposition principles.

Does the audit support Python, Rust, and Go projects?▼

Yes. Stack detection looks for package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, and similar markers, then adapts checks to ecosystem tooling such as mypy strict, clippy, golangci-lint, or ESLint.

Will setup mode overwrite my existing files?▼

No. Setup mode proposes each file with a preview and asks for explicit approval via a prompt before creating anything, and it never overwrites existing files without consent.

What is a good agentic codebase audit score?▼

Scores are out of 32 total, with each principle rated 0 (absent), 1 (partial), or 2 (present). The report prioritizes score-0 gaps first, so the number matters less than addressing missing principles systematically.
