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

Fix these first

Tests exist

Coverage is thin enough that an agent can break real behavior and still see green.

Lint and format rules

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

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

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.

1,833 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 20/20 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 (build, dev, start, clean, fix, fix:format…)

✓Environment config 4/4

.env.example documents what the app needs to run.

✓Pinned runtime version 2/2

The language runtime version is pinned.

Found .node-version

✓Reproducible environment 2/2

docker-compose.yml gives a known-good environment.

Verification loop 15/25 B-

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

✗Tests exist 4/8

77 test files against 3862 source files.

Coverage is thin enough that an agent can break real behavior and still see green.

e.g. apps/api/plane/db/management/commands/test_email.py, apps/api/plane/tests/README.md, apps/api/plane/tests/TESTING_GUIDE.md

✓Test command is discoverable 7/7

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

✓Continuous integration 4/4

9 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 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 17/20 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 74 patterns.

✓File sizes fit in context 6/6

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

✗Repository weight 2/5

About 213MB checked out. Large enough that cloning and searching are both slow.

Large binaries and vendored trees slow every operation an agent performs. Git LFS or a separate assets repo keeps the working tree navigable.

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 makeplane/plane

# AGENTS.md

🔥🔥🔥 Open-source Jira, Linear, Monday, and ClickUp alternative. Plane is a modern project management platform to manage tasks, sprints, docs, and triage.

## Setup

```
pnpm install
```

## Commands

```
pnpm dev          # run locally
pnpm start        # run the app
pnpm build        # produce a build
pnpm check        # lint and type check
pnpm clean
pnpm fix
pnpm fix:format
pnpm fix:lint
```

## Layout

- `apps/`        2721 source files
- `packages/`    1133 source files
- `deployments/` 7 source files

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `apps/api/plane/db/management/commands/test_email.py`.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/build-branch.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.

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.
