i don't think you can get away from human scoring, really -- i do think you can augment with LLM scoring (eg, ask the LLM if it understands a changeset in context, etc.) but at the end of the day it's more "how does the team want to build software together"

honestly, documentation, documentation, documentation. maybe that's tests, maybe it's inline docs, maybe it's readmes, maybe its specs, preferably it's _all_ of these. i don't just want to know what the code does, i want to know _why_ it does stuff.

opus 4.5 thru claude agent sdk; system prompt is completely custom tho, and the agent is stateful + has memory.
