Higher is better. Accent marks what is costing you most.

Fix these first

Agent instruction file

Add an AGENTS.md at the root: what the project is, how to install, how to run, how to test, and the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong.

Instruction quality

Instructions earn their keep by naming exact commands. 'Run the tests with `pnpm test`' beats three paragraphs of philosophy.

Environment config

Add a .env.example listing every variable with a safe placeholder value. It's the cheapest possible fix and it unblocks the whole first run.

The full marking

Every deduction below names the file or setting it came from.

Instructions 3/27 F

Whether the repo tells an agent how to behave before it starts guessing.

✗Agent instruction file 0/12

None found. Every agent that opens this repo starts from zero.

Add an AGENTS.md at the root: what the project is, how to install, how to run, how to test, and the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong.

Looked for AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules

✗Instruction quality 0/12

Nothing to judge, since there are no instructions.

Instructions earn their keep by naming exact commands. 'Run the tests with `pnpm test`' beats three paragraphs of philosophy.

✓README as an entry point 3/3

README has a clear getting-started section.

Setup 14/20 B+

Whether an agent can install the project and get it running without a human.

✓Deterministic install 6/6

package-lock.json pins the dependency tree.

Found package-lock.json

✓Discoverable commands 6/6

Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.

package.json scripts (start, dev, build, css, css-compile, css-rtl…)

✗Environment config 0/4

Nothing documents the environment this needs. An agent will get a runtime error it can't diagnose.

Add a .env.example listing every variable with a safe placeholder value. It's the cheapest possible fix and it unblocks the whole first run.

✓Pinned runtime version 2/2

The language runtime version is pinned.

package.json engines.node >=20

✗Reproducible environment 0/2

No container or devcontainer definition.

A Dockerfile or devcontainer removes an entire class of 'it won't install' failures.

Verification loop 23/25 A

Whether an agent can check its own work. This is the category that most decides whether agent output is trustworthy.

✗Tests exist 6/8

11 test files against 163 source files.

e.g. tests/a11y.mjs, tests/unit/accessibility.test.ts, tests/unit/base-component.test.ts

✓Test command is discoverable 7/7

An agent can find and run `npm run test`.

✓Continuous integration 4/4

6 GitHub Actions workflows define what "passing" means.

✓Lint and format rules 3/3

eslint.config.js encodes the house style.

✓Static type checking 3/3

Strict type checking is on, which catches a whole class of agent mistakes before they run.

Context economy 19/20 A+

Whether the repo fits in a context window, or fights it.

✓No committed build output 6/6

No generated directories committed.

✓.gitignore hygiene 3/3

.gitignore covers 26 patterns.

✓File sizes fit in context 6/6

No source file is large enough to crowd out a context window.

✗Repository weight 4/5

About 146.6MB checked out, which is comfortable.

Here is your AGENTS.md

Drafted from what is actually in this repository: the install command from your lockfile, the commands you already declare, your real directory layout. Anything marked TODO needs a person. Save it at the root as AGENTS.md.

AGENTS.md — drafted for ColorlibHQ/AdminLTE

# AGENTS.md

AdminLTE - Free admin dashboard template based on Bootstrap 5

## Setup

```
npm ci
```

## Commands

```
npm run dev           # run locally
npm run start         # run the app
npm run build         # produce a build
npm run test          # run the test suite, must pass before any commit
npm run lint          # lint
npm run css
npm run css-compile
npm run css-rtl
```

## Layout

- `src/`     134 source files
- `dist/`    14 source files
- `tests/`   11 source files
- `scripts/` 2 source files

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `tests/a11y.mjs`.
- TypeScript runs in strict mode. Type errors are the fastest feedback available, so do not weaken it.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/a11y.yml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

## Gotchas

- Generated output is committed (`dist/`). Search will return the compiled copy, so edit the source, not that.

Think this mark is wrong?

Every deduction above names the file it came from, so this can be settled by looking. If a check missed something, that is a rule worth fixing.
