repo-intake-and-plan
Narrow helper skill for README-first AI repo reproduction. Use when the task is specifically to scan a repository, read the README and common project files, extract documented commands, classify inference, evaluation, and training candidates, and return the smallest trustworthy reproduction plan to the main orchestrator. Do not use for environment setup, asset download, command execution, final reporting, paper lookup, or end-to-end orchestration.
Best use case
repo-intake-and-plan is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using repo-intake-and-plan should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# repo-intake-and-plan ## When to apply - At the beginning of README-first reproduction work. - When the main skill needs a fast map of repo structure and documented commands. - When inference, evaluation, and training candidates must be classified conservatively. - When the user explicitly wants to inspect the repo first and not run anything yet. ## When not to apply - When execution has already started and the task is now about running commands or writing outputs. - When the target is not a repository-backed reproduction task. - When the user only wants paper interpretation without repo inspection. - When the user already has a selected documented command and only needs setup or execution. ## Clear boundaries - This skill scans and plans. - This skill is helper-tier and should usually be orchestrator-invoked. - It does not install environments. - It does not prepare large assets. - It does not execute substantive reproduction commands. - It does not decide high-risk patching. ## Input expectations - Target repository path. - Access to README and common project files if present. - Optional user hints about desired priority, such as inference-first. ## Output expectations - concise repo structure summary - documented command inventory - inferred candidate categories: inference, evaluation, training, other - minimum trustworthy reproduction recommendation - notable ambiguity or risk list ## Notes Use `references/repo-scan-rules.md` and helper scripts under `scripts/`.
