Why it matters
Committed AI configuration is nearly always written once and abandoned, yet the maturity level a repo reaches tracks how much quality cost comes with AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition →-driven speed — and agents accelerate 28-38% regardless of where a team sits.
