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

To audit codebase agent readiness, run the 'surface audit' command. The tool assesses your code across 11 dimensions, including API, CLI, documentation, and infrastructure, to score readiness and identify integration improvement opportunities.

What does agent-ready software design involve?

Agent-ready software design involves making code accessible to AI agents by analyzing the API surface, CLI design, and documentation. This ensures seamless integration, allowing agents to effectively use, automate, and interact with your software systems.

Can I scaffold agent infrastructure for an existing codebase?

Yes, you can scaffold agent infrastructure for an existing codebase. The tool generates or extends agents, tools, workflows, model routing, retrieval, memory, and sandbox capabilities to enhance your project's automation readiness.

Does the audit require specific dependencies or environments?

No specific dependencies are required. The tool uses included scripts and reference materials to perform project-specific analysis, auditing and scoring codebases across multiple dimensions without needing external environment setup.

What is the best way to improve API surface for AI integration?

The best way to improve API surface for AI integration is using a code audit tool. It analyzes your codebase across multiple dimensions, scoring readiness and scaffolding necessary infrastructure to optimize agent interaction.
