Suggestions to improve for a specific model

    Configure a linter/formatter (ESLint+Prettier, Biome, Ruff, rustfmt+clippy, golangci-lint) and commit the config.
    +11.3 pts
  2. 2
    Test suite
    Add a tests/ (or test/, __tests__/, spec/) directory with runnable tests. Document how to run them in AGENTS.md.
    +9.9 pts
  3. 3
    AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md
    Add an AGENTS.md covering project goals, layout, setup commands, and conventions. Aim for 800+ chars of real guidance (not boilerplate).

Per-model scores

Claude Code
Weights AGENTS.md and tests heavily — Claude Code leans on an instructions file and a fast feedback loop.
44.7
Cursor
Weights type config and a detailed README highly — Cursor's inline edits benefit from static types and skim-readable docs.
54.9
Devin
Weights CI and reproducible envs highly — Devin runs in a sandboxed VM and needs end-to-end automation.
52.5
GPT-5 Codex
Balanced profile as a reference point.
