Agentic-readiness checklist for /harness-audit or /superpowers-status [R3 from #340] #430

Description

@russmiles

Follow-up R3 from the microsoft/AI-Engineering-Coach exploration (docs/superpowers/explorations/2026-06-16-ai-engineering-coach-findings.md, issue #340). Suggested first build of the set — smallest, fully additive, needs no behavioural data.

Idea

The MS Context Health page emits an agentic-readiness checklist + scalar score. We have harness-audit-engine drift detection, but it produces a backward-looking drift report, not a forward-looking readiness view. Add a binary readiness checklist (with a small score) answering "is this workspace set up for agentic work?"

Candidate checklist items (all from existing artifacts)

  • Instruction files present and non-stub: CLAUDE.md, HARNESS.md, AGENTS.md.
  • MODEL_ROUTING.md present with routing rules.
  • Constraints enforced (not all unverified).
  • Reflection loop active (recent reflections/active/ fragments).
  • Observability snapshot fresh (< cadence threshold).
  • Orchestrator / agent pipeline present (if applicable).

Home

Extend /harness-audit or /superpowers-status with a readiness section, or a small new subcommand. Reuse harness-audit-engine surface scanning. Add an output-validation checkpoint per the repo convention.

Note

Distinct from drift detection (which asks "has it gone stale?") — this asks "is it ready?". Both are useful; this is the missing forward-looking half.
