Agent Friendly Code

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.

OpenHands — Runs in a sandboxed container and executes `.openhands/setup.sh` at session start per OpenHands' repo-customization docs. A root AGENTS.md is now the preferred always-on instruction surface; the older `.openhands/microagents/` path has been renamed to Skills (`.agents/skills/`).
