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.

Deterministic install

Commit the lockfile your package manager generates. Without it, an agent's install and your install are different builds, and 'works on my machine' becomes unfalsifiable.

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 10/20 C+

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

✗Deterministic install 0/6

No lockfile. An agent installing dependencies may not get what CI got.

Commit the lockfile your package manager generates. Without it, an agent's install and your install are different builds, and 'works on my machine' becomes unfalsifiable.

✓Discoverable commands 6/6

Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.

package.json scripts (test, lint, lint:ci, setup, setup:envs, dev:server…)

✗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.

Found .nvmrc

✓Reproducible environment 2/2

.devcontainer/devcontainer.json gives a known-good environment.

Verification loop 20/25 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

82 test files against 1298 source files.

e.g. cloud-deployments/helm/charts/anythingllm/templates/tests/test-connection.yaml, collector/__tests__/extensions/resync/paperless.resync.test.js, collector/__tests__/processLink/convert/generic.test.js

✓Test command is discoverable 7/7

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

✓Continuous integration 4/4

9 GitHub Actions workflows define what "passing" means.

✓Lint and format rules 3/3

eslint.config.js encodes the house style.

✗Static type checking 0/3

No static type checking.

A type checker gives an agent an error message instead of a runtime surprise. It's the second-fastest feedback loop after the compiler.

Context economy 15/20 B+

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 11 patterns.

✗File sizes fit in context 2/6

7 source files are over 100KB.

A single file that fills the context window forces an agent to work from fragments, and it will confidently edit code it never saw. Splitting the worst offenders pays for itself immediately.

frontend/src/locales/hi/common.js — 146KB

frontend/src/locales/ru/common.js — 131KB

frontend/src/locales/lo/common.js — 122KB

✗Repository weight 4/5

About 94.1MB 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.

## Setup

```
npm install
```

## Commands

```
npm run dev             # run locally
npm run test            # run the test suite, must pass before any commit
npm run lint            # lint
npm run lint:ci
npm run setup
npm run setup:envs
npm run dev:server
npm run dev:collector
```

## Layout

- `frontend/`      615 source files
- `server/`        536 source files
- `collector/`     73 source files
- `open-computer/` 67 source files
- `docker/`        2 source files
- `extras/`        2 source files

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `cloud-deployments/helm/charts/anythingllm/templates/tests/test-connection.yaml`.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/build-and-push-image-semver.yaml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

## Gotchas

- `frontend/src/locales/hi/common.js` is 146KB. It will not fit comfortably in context, so read it in parts.
- No lockfile is committed, so an install here may not match what CI produced.

needs a human. Check it in as AGENTS.md at the root.

Open the raw markdown or curl -o AGENTS.md agentreadme.com/draft/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm.md

A draft gets the commands right and stops at the things only a maintainer knows. What a good JavaScript AGENTS.md looks like covers what to add by hand, and what AGENTS.md is explains the format itself.

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.
