The Agent-Ready Codebase
SMRTR summary
Making codebases agent-friendly requires three key principles: autonomous environment access where agents can spin up isolated instances and reach APIs independently, clear intent communication through documented domain knowledge and well-scoped tasks, and fast feedback loops with automated verification. Most requirements mirror good engineering practices—clean abstractions, behavioral tests, and written documentation—but agents make the cost of missing these obvious.
