Benefits Navigator Agent is organized around the engineering qualities that make a repository credible beyond a small demo.
- Clear separation between user interface, service logic, tests, documentation, and operational scripts.
- Repeatable local setup through documented commands.
- CI checks that cover health, tests, and build paths where applicable.
- Explicit safety and contribution expectations for maintainers.

.env.examplewhen the project needs runtime secrets. - Operational notes explain deployment, monitoring, rollback, and data-handling expectations.
- The README should communicate the real-world problem, not just the stack.
- Tests and evaluation scenarios should demonstrate behavior that matters to users.
- Docs should make the project easy to assess in a few minutes and easy to run in under an hour.
