Score for each AI agent

Each agent weighs the checks by its own docs. Under each score are its top three. How each agent is scored →

Does huggingface/transformers have agent instructions?

An AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) at the root tells AI coding agents how to build, test and work in the repo. A few agents also read a file of their own.
