An agent will struggle here, mostly for fixable reasons.

Clojure · 81,946 stars · 220 files · branch master

Fix these first

01
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.
02
Instruction quality
Instructions earn their keep by naming exact commands. 'Run the tests with `pnpm test`' beats three paragraphs of philosophy.
03
Tests exist
This is the single highest-leverage change on this page. Agents don't need full coverage, they need one command that goes red when they break something. Even a handful of tests on the core path converts blind editing into a feedback loop.

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 13/20 B

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

Deterministic install 3/6
Only requirements.txt, which pins loosely at best.
Commit the lockfile your package manager generates. Without it, an agent's install and your install are different builds, and 'works on my machine' becomes unfalsifiable.
Discoverable commands 6/6
Commands are declared where an agent will look for them.
Makefile
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 0/2
No pinned runtime version.
Add a .nvmrc, .python-version, or equivalent so the agent's toolchain matches yours.
Reproducible environment 2/2
dockerfile gives a known-good environment.
Verification loop 4/25 F

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

Tests exist 0/8
No test files found. An agent has no way to know whether its change broke anything.
This is the single highest-leverage change on this page. Agents don't need full coverage, they need one command that goes red when they break something. Even a handful of tests on the core path converts blind editing into a feedback loop.
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
2 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 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 18 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 90.7MB 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 tonsky/FiraCode
# AGENTS.md

Free monospaced font with programming ligatures

## Setup

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Commands

```
make build     # produce a build
make package
```

## Layout

- `script/`         18 source files
- `clojure/`        12 source files
- `googlefonts-qa/` 4 source files

## Conventions

- There are no tests yet. An agent has no way to check its own work here.
- CI defines what passing means. See `.github/workflows/build.yml`, and keep it green.
- TODO: add the two or three conventions a newcomer always gets wrong here.

## Gotchas

- No lockfile is committed, so an install here may not match what CI produced.

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.
