What Repo Genome does

Repo Genome checks a local repository for harness readiness and reports repo type, agent topology, MCP risk, test confidence, release readiness, and a recommended harness plan. Use it before scaffolding, in CI, or when you need a deterministic readiness snapshot.

Repo Genome is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Repo Genome comes from a repository tagged agent-harness, agent-harness-generator, agent-scaffolding, agentic-ai and agentic-framework.
