repo-intake-and-plan

Intake sub-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 skill. Do not use for environment setup, asset download, command execution, final reporting, paper lookup, or end-to-end orchestration.

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.
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
