Which public repos are easiest for Aider to work in?
Repos from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, ranked by their Aider score rather than the average across every agent. gitlab-org/cli leads with 84.4.
The methodology lists the weight Aider gives each check and the documentation it comes from.
Aider — Auto-lints on every edit by default; runs the configured test command after edits when `--test-cmd` is set (per Aider's lint/test docs). It doesn't natively read AGENTS.md or CONVENTIONS.md — those load only when wired via `.aider.conf.yml`'s `read:` — so the config file, a green linter, and a declared test command are what translate into successful commits.
