Which public repos are friendliest to an AI coding agent?
Ranked per model across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket — because agents aren't interchangeable.
Looking up a dependency? Check any npm / PyPI / Cargo package by name.
Kimi CLI — Reads AGENTS.md as its native instruction surface (root or `.kimi-code/AGENTS.md`) per Moonshot's Kimi Code docs, and `/init` generates one — the strictest AGENTS.md-only adherent here, with no CLAUDE.md fallback. Runs shell commands step-by-step under an approval gate rather than a sandbox VM, and dispatches `explore` sub-agents with isolated contexts to map a codebase, so a large tree costs it less than a single-context agent.
