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

Fix these first

File sizes fit in context

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.

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.

Instruction quality

Worth fixing: has no code blocks.

The full marking

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

Instructions 25/27 A+

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

✓Agent instruction file 12/12

AGENTS.md is present, which is the format the most tools read.

✗Instruction quality 10/12

Specific enough that an agent can act on it.

Worth fixing: has no code blocks.

3,776 characters, a workable length

names the actual commands to run

uses headings, so an agent can skim it

✓README as an entry point 3/3

README has a clear getting-started section.

Setup 16/20 A-

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

✓Deterministic install 6/6

pnpm-lock.yaml pins the dependency tree.

Found pnpm-lock.yaml

✓Discoverable commands 6/6

Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.

package.json scripts (dev, css, build, format:check, format:write, lint…)

pyproject.toml scripts

scripts/ directory

✗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 >=24.0.0

✓Reproducible environment 2/2

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

Verification loop 25/25 A+

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

✓Tests exist 8/8

383 test files against 1986 source files.

e.g. client/js/src/test/api_info.test.ts, client/js/src/test/apply_diff.test.ts, client/js/src/test/bucket_sync.test.ts

✓Test command is discoverable 7/7

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

✓Continuous integration 4/4

25 GitHub Actions workflows define what "passing" means.

✓Lint and format rules 3/3

pyproject.toml 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 13/20 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 79 patterns.

✗File sizes fit in context 0/6

8 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.

client/python/test/media_data.py — 706KB

js/plot/testplot.js — 392KB

js/spa/test/media_data.ts — 216KB

✗Repository weight 4/5

About 125.1MB 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.

AGENTS.md — drafted for gradio-app/gradio

# AGENTS.md

Build and share delightful machine learning apps, all in Python. 🌟 Star to support our work!

## Setup

```
pnpm install
```

## Commands

```
pnpm dev            # run locally
pnpm build          # produce a build
pnpm test           # run the test suite, must pass before any commit
pnpm lint           # lint
pnpm css
pnpm format:check
pnpm format:write
pnpm ts:check
```

## Layout

- `js/`     1080 source files
- `demo/`   467 source files
- `gradio/` 182 source files
- `test/`   86 source files
- `client/` 64 source files
- `home/`   51 source files

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `client/js/src/test/api_info.test.ts`.
- 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/comment-queue.yml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

## Gotchas

- `client/python/test/media_data.py` is 706KB. It will not fit comfortably in context, so read it in parts.

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/gradio-app/gradio.md

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