Which public repos are friendliest to an AI coding agent?

Ranked per model across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket — because agents aren't interchangeable.

Looking up a dependency? Check any npm / PyPI / Cargo package by name.

Repo not on the board? Score any public GitHub repo live from its current commit.

Cursor — Per Cursor's Rules docs, reads `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` and AGENTS.md as the canonical repo-side input. Type config and a clean README still aid the codebase index but aren't the docs-cited signal.
