pre-read

Read one or more software project repositories, without changing them, and write a digest with sources of what the files show - the major issues obvious from the code and architecture, what the tests cover and do not, a first reading of how friendly the codebase is to agents working on it, and what the project says about itself, how it is built and where sources disagree. Use before a quality strategy, planning, onboarding, due diligence or a handoff, when someone needs to understand a project as it is today.
