Suggestions to improve for a specific model

    +13.2 pts
  2. 2
    Test suite
    Add a tests/ (or test/, __tests__/, spec/) directory with runnable tests. Document how to run them in AGENTS.md.
    +13.2 pts
  3. 3
    Dependency manifest
    Commit a proper manifest (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.) plus a lockfile.

Per-model scores

Claude Code
Weights AGENTS.md and tests heavily — Claude Code leans on an instructions file and a fast feedback loop.
34.6
Cursor
Weights type config and a detailed README highly — Cursor's inline edits benefit from static types and skim-readable docs.
34.5
Devin
Weights CI and reproducible envs highly — Devin runs in a sandboxed VM and needs end-to-end automation.
41.3
GPT-5 Codex
Balanced profile as a reference point.
38.2
