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

Fix these first

01
Tests exist
This is the single highest-leverage change on this page. Agents don't need full coverage, they need one command that goes red when they break something. Even a handful of tests on the core path converts blind editing into a feedback loop.
02
Test command is discoverable
Add a `test` script or a `test` target that runs the whole suite with no arguments. The convention is the interface — an agent tries `npm test` and `make test` before it tries reading your CI config.
03
Discoverable commands
Declare the handful of commands that matter in package.json scripts, a Makefile, or a justfile. Naming them turns guesswork into a lookup.

The full marking

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

Instructions 22/27 A-

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

✗Agent instruction file 8/12
Copilot instructions is present, but not the vendor-neutral AGENTS.md.
Rename or symlink to AGENTS.md so tools other than one vendor's can read it. Keeping Copilot instructions alongside it costs nothing.
✓Instruction quality 12/12
Specific enough that an agent can act on it.
17,103 characters, a workable length
names the actual commands to run
uses headings, so an agent can skim it
includes copyable code blocks
✗README as an entry point 2/3
README exists but never explains how to get the thing running.
Give the README an Install and a Usage heading with real commands under each. Agents pattern-match on those headings.
Setup 10/18 B-

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

✓Deterministic install 6/6
cargo.lock pins the dependency tree.
Found cargo.lock
✗Discoverable commands 0/6
No declared commands. An agent has to infer how to build and run this from the file tree.
Declare the handful of commands that matter in package.json scripts, a Makefile, or a justfile. Naming them turns guesswork into a lookup.
✓Environment config 4/4
.env.example documents what the app needs to run.
✗Pinned runtime version 0/2
No pinned runtime version.
Add a .nvmrc, .python-version, or equivalent so the agent's toolchain matches yours.
–Reproducible environment n/a
Not applicable — a library doesn't need a container to be worked on.
Verification loop 4/22 F

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

✗Tests exist 0/8
No test files found. An agent has no way to know whether its change broke anything.
This is the single highest-leverage change on this page. Agents don't need full coverage, they need one command that goes red when they break something. Even a handful of tests on the core path converts blind editing into a feedback loop.
✗Test command is discoverable 0/7
There's no obvious way to run the tests. Even if tests exist, an agent won't reliably find the entry point.
Add a `test` script or a `test` target that runs the whole suite with no arguments. The convention is the interface — an agent tries `npm test` and `make test` before it tries reading your CI config.
✓Continuous integration 4/4
2 GitHub Actions workflows define what "passing" means.
✗Lint and format rules 0/3
No linter or formatter config. Style is tribal knowledge, so agent output will drift from yours.
A formatter config is the cheapest way to stop reviewing whitespace in agent diffs. It moves style from opinion to a command.
–Static type checking n/a
Not applicable — the Rust compiler type checks every build.
Context economy 20/20 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 8 patterns.
✓File sizes fit in context 6/6
No source file is large enough to crowd out a context window.
✓Repository weight 5/5
About 28.2MB 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 OpenCut-app/OpenCut 
# AGENTS.md

The open-source CapCut alternative

## Setup

```
cargo build
```

## Commands

```
cargo test   # run the test suite
```

## Layout

- `apps/`   80 source files
- `crates/` 1 source file

## Conventions

- There are no tests yet. An agent has no way to check its own work here.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/bun-ci.yml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

## Gotchas

- Copy `.env.example` before running anything that needs configuration.

Drafted by agentreadme.com from what is in this repository. Everything marked TODO
needs a human. Check it in as AGENTS.md at the root.

Open the raw markdown  or  curl -o AGENTS.md agentreadme.com/draft/OpenCut-app/OpenCut.md

A draft gets the commands right and stops at the things only a maintainer knows. What a good TypeScript 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.
