TechTalk AI Readiness Assessment

A self-contained plugin for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI that assesses how ready a team — and its codebase — is to collaborate with AI.

Invoke it once in any repository and it scans for evidence, asks a few clarifying questions, and produces a timestamped report that places the team on two complementary maps:

The distance between them is the Habitat Build Gap — a coherence diagnostic that points at the single most valuable next move.

Curious what the output looks like? We ran the assessment against this plugin's own repo — read the example self-assessment (markdown + rendered HTML).


Find your way around

This documentation follows the Diátaxis framework — four kinds of documentation for four kinds of need.

Tutorials — learning-oriented Start here. A guided, end-to-end run that produces your first assessment.
How-to guides — task-oriented Recipes: install in each tool, run an assessment, read the gap, render the HTML report.
Reference — information-oriented The model's fourteen dimensions, the cognitive ladder, the gap formula, the output structure.
Explanation — understanding-oriented Why two maps, why coherence beats level, why the instrument is standalone.

What you get from one run

  1. A discovery report of the habitat documents and signals found (with paths).
  2. A Habitat Maturity Profile — all fourteen model dimensions placed L1–L5, with the model's own verbs, and a headline Habitat Maturity Level.
  3. A cognitive level (L0–L5) with a one-line rationale anchored in the weakest of three disciplines.
  4. The Habitat Build Gap and its regime (Coherent / Ambition outpaces enablement / Inherited habitat).
  5. Strengths, gaps, and three evidence-anchored recommendations.
  6. A gap-anchored reading path into The Sovereign Engineer and a single TechTalk engagement suggestion.

The assessment is fully self-contained — it depends on no other plugin, agent, or service. See Why it is self-contained.
