10/10How quickly anything new can orient itself. Full marks.
Higher is better. Accent marks what is costing you most.
Fix these first
01
Instruction quality
Worth fixing: it's 24k characters, which burns context on every single turn; it never states a build, test, or run command.
02
Repository weight
Large binaries and vendored trees slow every operation an agent performs. Git LFS or a separate assets repo keeps the working tree navigable.
03
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.
The full marking
Every deduction below names the file or setting it came from.
Instructions 21/27 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.
Also found: CLAUDE.md
✗Instruction quality
6/12
Real instructions, with gaps.
Worth fixing: it's 24k characters, which burns context on every single turn; it never states a build, test, or run command.
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 16/20 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 (dev, build, build:ts, prepublishOnly, test, test:ui…)
scripts/ directory
✗Environment config
2/4
Env vars are mentioned in the README but there's no example file to copy.
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 >=20.0.0
✗Reproducible environment
0/2
No container or devcontainer definition.
A Dockerfile or devcontainer removes an entire class of 'it won't install' failures.
Verification loop 19/22 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
654 test files against 2875 source files.
e.g. .claude/workflows/full-system-test.js, plugins/ruflo-adr/scripts/__tests__/adr-create-schema-2651.test.mjs, plugins/ruflo-adr/scripts/__tests__/index-idempotency-2660.test.mjs
✓Test command is discoverable
7/7
An agent can find and run `npm run test`.
✓Continuous integration
4/4
28 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 11/20 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 140 patterns.
✗File sizes fit in context
2/6
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.
v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/commands/neural.ts — 233KB
v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/mcp-tools/hooks-tools.ts — 221KB
v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/commands/hooks.ts — 211KB
✗Repository weight
0/5
About 540MB 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 🌊 The original agent meta-harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory, self-learning intelligence, RAG integration, and native Claude Code / Codex / Hermes and many more Integrated ## 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 build:ts pnpm prepublishOnly pnpm test:ui pnpm test:security ``` ## Layout - `v3/` 2114 source files - `ruflo/` 365 source files - `plugins/` 200 source files - `scripts/` 107 source files - `tests/` 26 source files - `bin/` 3 source files ## Conventions - Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `.claude/workflows/full-system-test.js`. - 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/adr-166-mcp-bridge-security.yml`, and keep it green. - TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here. ## Gotchas - `v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/commands/neural.ts` is 233KB. 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.

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.
