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

Fix these first

01
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.
02
Agent instruction file
Rename or symlink to AGENTS.md so tools other than one vendor's can read it. Keeping CLAUDE.md alongside it costs nothing.
03
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.

The full marking

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

Instructions 24/27 A

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

✗Agent instruction file 9/12
CLAUDE.md 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 CLAUDE.md alongside it costs nothing.
✓Instruction quality 12/12
Specific enough that an agent can act on it.
4,154 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 3/3
README has a clear getting-started section.
Setup 12/14 A

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

✓Deterministic install 6/6
package-lock.json pins the dependency tree.
Found package-lock.json
✓Discoverable commands 6/6
Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.
package.json scripts (build, watch, publish-all, link-all)
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 n/a
Not applicable — a library doesn't need a container to be worked on.
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 8/8
20 test files against 79 source files.
e.g. src/everything/__tests__/prompts.test.ts, src/everything/__tests__/registrations.test.ts, src/everything/__tests__/resources.test.ts
✗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
5 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 3/3
Strict type checking is on, which catches a whole class of agent mistakes before they run.
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 145 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 29.6MB 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 modelcontextprotocol/servers 
# AGENTS.md

Model Context Protocol Servers

## Setup

```
npm ci
```

## Commands

```
npm run build         # produce a build
npm run watch
npm run publish-all
npm run link-all
```

## Layout

- `src/`     78 source files
- `scripts/` 1 source file

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `src/everything/__tests__/prompts.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/claude.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.
