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 spring-projects/spring-boot 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

# AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI coding agents working in spring-projects/spring-boot. Spring Boot helps you to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with absolute minimum fuss. Written mainly in Java.

## Where things are

- Dependencies are declared in `build.gradle`.
- Lint and format rules are configured in `config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml`.
- CI is defined in `.github/workflows`; read it for the exact install, lint and test steps.
- Use the `./gradlew` wrapper, not a system install.
- Follow the conventions in `CONTRIBUTING.adoc`.

## Commands

<!-- Fill in the exact commands CI runs. -->
- Install: TODO
- Test: TODO
- Lint: TODO
