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 python-poetry/poetry 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.

AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md

✗None at the root (no AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENT.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md or .claude/AGENTS.md)

Agent-specific files

None: no GEMINI.md, .cursor/rules, .openhands/setup.sh, .aider.conf.yml or .agents/skills
