Strengths

  • AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md
  • CONTRIBUTING guide
  • Dependency manifest
  • Reproducible dev env
  • License file

Gaps

  • Pre-commit / git hooks

Suggestions to improve for a specific model

  1. 1
    Pre-commit / git hooks
    Set up pre-commit (.pre-commit-config.yaml), husky, or lefthook to run format+lint on every commit.
    +5.3 pts
  2. 2
    Manageable size
    If possible, split into smaller modules or carve out a focused entry path. Document where to start in AGENTS.md.
    +1.3 pts
  3. 3
    CI configuration
    Add a CI workflow (e.g. .github/workflows/ci.yml or .gitlab-ci.yml) that runs tests + linter on every PR.

Per-model scores

Claude Code
Weights AGENTS.md and tests heavily — Claude Code leans on an instructions file and a fast feedback loop.
92.8
Cursor
Weights type config and a detailed README highly — Cursor's inline edits benefit from static types and skim-readable docs.
94.1
Devin
Weights CI and reproducible envs highly — Devin runs in a sandboxed VM and needs end-to-end automation.
91.0
GPT-5 Codex
Balanced profile as a reference point.
92.2
Gemini CLI
Weights long-form README and strict type configs — Gemini's long context favors docs-heavy codebases that spell out contracts.
92.8
Aider
Weights tests and linter highest — Aider runs both per-edit as its feedback loop, so a green bar translates directly into successful commits.
93.8
OpenHands
Weights reproducible dev-env and CI highest — OpenHands operates from a sandboxed container, so a working Dockerfile / Makefile is near-mandatory.
90.2
Pi
Weights AGENTS.md heavily and rewards a fast test/lint loop — Pi's minimal terminal harness reads AGENTS.md explicitly and defers sandboxing to user-installed extensions.
92.4
