Which public repos are easiest for Kimi CLI to work in?

Repos from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, ranked by their Kimi CLI score rather than the average across every agent. gitlab-org/cli leads with 98.3.

The methodology lists the weight Kimi CLI gives each check and the documentation it comes from.

Kimi CLI — Reads AGENTS.md as its native instruction surface (root or `.kimi-code/AGENTS.md`) per Moonshot's Kimi Code docs, and `/init` generates one. Its docs name no CLAUDE.md fallback, but the check passes on CLAUDE.md too. Runs shell commands step-by-step under an approval gate rather than a sandbox VM, and dispatches `explore` sub-agents with isolated contexts to map a codebase, so a large tree costs it less than a single-context agent.
