# What makes a codebase agent-ready?

## Why This Question Matters
Agent-ready codebases need navigable context, clear ownership boundaries, runnable checks, useful traces, and interfaces that agents can operate without guessing.

## Current Working Answer
This page is a first-pass research question, not a final recommendation. Use the linked evidence to refine the answer as more exact session recordings, transcripts, and reviewed slide readings become available.
