Discussion
5 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: OpenAI's agent scoring framework (original research), AGENTS.md documentation approaches
Concerns raised: Decision records not followed in practice by most teams, Uncertainty whether all decisions need ADRs vs. AGENTS.md summaries, Linter detection not working reliably across repo types, Skepticism about whether this scoring actually correlates with real agent performance
Feature requests: Auto-detect and score git log as decision record alternative, Better handling of code comments vs. separate documentation, Improve linter detection across different languages/configurations, Clarify which decisions warrant ADRs vs. inline documentation
