Which public repos are friendliest to an AI coding agent?

Ranked per model across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket — because agents aren't interchangeable.

Looking up a dependency? Check any npm / PyPI / Cargo package by name.

Repo not on the board? Score any public GitHub repo live from its current commit.

Gemini CLIReads hierarchical `GEMINI.md` (global → workspace → component-level) at every prompt per Gemini CLI's docs. The long-context advantage favors repos that split context per directory rather than docs-heavy in general.
