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

Fix these first

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.

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.

Instruction quality

Worth fixing: it's 23k characters, which burns context on every single turn.

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.

Also found: CLAUDE.md

✗Instruction quality 10/12

Specific enough that an agent can act on it.

Worth fixing: it's 23k characters, which burns context on every single turn.

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 14/14 A+

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

✓Deterministic install 6/6

bun.lockb pins the dependency tree.

Found bun.lockb

✓Discoverable commands 6/6

Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.

package.json scripts (preinstall, typecheck)

justfile

scripts/ directory

–Environment config n/a

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

✓Pinned runtime version 2/2

The language runtime version is pinned.

Found .nvmrc

–Reproducible environment n/a

Not applicable — a library doesn't need a container to be worked on.

Verification loop 20/22 A

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

✗Tests exist 6/8

114 test files against 1757 source files.

e.g. apps/cli/tests/mcp_test.rs, apps/tauri/tests/assetPath.test.ts, core/examples/fingerprint_test.rs

✓Test command is discoverable 7/7

An agent can find and run `just test`.

✓Continuous integration 4/4

7 GitHub Actions workflows define what "passing" means.

✓Lint and format rules 3/3

.clippy.toml encodes the house style.

–Static type checking n/a

Not applicable — the Rust compiler type checks every build.

Context economy 15/20 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 244 patterns.

✗File sizes fit in context 4/6

2 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.

packages/ts-client/src/generated/types.ts — 176KB

core/src/ops/indexing/volume_index.rs — 175KB

✗Repository weight 2/5

About 282MB 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 spacedriveapp/spacedrive

# AGENTS.md

Spacedrive is an open source cross-platform file explorer, powered by a virtual distributed filesystem written in Rust.

## Setup

```
bun install
```

## Commands

```
bun typecheck    # type check without emitting
bun preinstall
```

## Layout

- `core/`       925 source files
- `packages/`   334 source files
- `apps/`       207 source files
- `crates/`     202 source files
- `extensions/` 33 source files
- `scripts/`    18 source files

## Conventions

- Tests live alongside the code they cover, following `apps/cli/tests/mcp_test.rs`.
- TypeScript is not in strict mode. Turning it on catches a whole class of mistakes before they run.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/cache-factory.yaml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

## Gotchas

- `packages/ts-client/src/generated/types.ts` is 176KB. 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/spacedriveapp/spacedrive.md

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