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.

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.

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 14/16 A

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

✓Deterministic install 6/6

poetry.lock pins the dependency tree.

Found poetry.lock

✓Discoverable commands 6/6

Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.

pyproject.toml scripts

scripts/ directory

–Environment config n/a

Not applicable — this reads as a library, with no environment to configure.

✗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 2/2

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

Verification loop 13/25 C+

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

✗Tests exist 6/8

29 test files against 325 source files.

e.g. playground/e2e/playground.spec.ts, playground/scripts/test_gen_catalog.py, playground/scripts/test_shim.py

✗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.

✓Continuous integration 4/4

5 GitHub Actions workflows define what "passing" means.

✓Lint and format rules 3/3

pyproject.toml 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 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 16 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 78.2MB 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 mingrammer/diagrams

# AGENTS.md

:art: Diagram as Code for prototyping cloud system architectures

## Setup

```
poetry install
```

## Commands

```
# TODO: nothing declares a build or test command, so an agent has to guess.
# This is the single most valuable section of this file. Fill it in.
```

## Layout

- `diagrams/`   257 source files
- `playground/` 55 source files
- `tests/`      4 source files
- `website/`    4 source files
- `scripts/`    3 source files

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `playground/e2e/playground.spec.ts`.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

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.
