# ladder-audit **The problem this solves:** you keep building, but you have no honest read on what your system can actually do — or, more importantly, what is quietly missing underneath the impressive parts. Self-rating is unreliable in both directions. People who have built a lot under-rate themselves; people with one flashy automation over-rate themselves. Either way you end up working on the wrong thing next. `ladder-audit` scans your own machine, translates whatever you built into the ten-rung Agentic Ladder, and hands back a score plus one clear next action. ## What makes it different from a checklist It is **not** scored against the cohort's preferred tools. Each rung is a set of **objectives** — capabilities your system either has or does not — and each objective accepts several genuinely different implementations. "Work happens while you are not watching" is satisfied by launchd, cron, a systemd timer, a scheduled CI job, or a hosted worker. Any of them counts. So a member who built something we have never seen still gets credit for it. ## Run it ```bash ./onboarding/onboard.sh ``` That scans, writes `onboarding/your-ladder.html`, and opens it. It is safe to run as often as you like — nothing is uploaded and nothing is changed on the machine. Useful variants: ```bash ./onboarding/onboard.sh --ask # answer what a scan cannot see (~2 min) ./onboarding/onboard.sh --install-skills # install this repo's skills first ./onboarding/onboard.sh --share
