Import a disposable repository, change one configuration value, run its test, and then simulate the session becoming unavailable. If only a chat screenshot survives, the task did not create portable value.
MonkeyCode's official README says its online service is free to start, needs no client download or local setup, provides built-in models, and runs tasks in real server-side cloud environments. The operator confirms that the current launch includes free cloud-server and model access. Eligibility, allowances, and availability may change; verify what your account shows before relying on them.

Score the exit, not the demo
| Artifact | Weight | Pass evidence |
|---|---|---|
| commit/diff | 3 | clean checkout applies |
| test command | 2 | reruns outside session |
| dependency state | 2 | lockfile included |
| decision context | 1 | assumptions recorded |
| rollback | 2 | revert restores baseline |
exit_score = earned_weight / 10
hard gate = commit + reproducible test + rollback
Run three paths: normal completion, browser disconnect before completion, and exhausted/temporarily unavailable allowance. Measure recovery minutes and reviewer minutes. Illustrative policy: reject adoption if more than 15 minutes of accepted work cannot be reconstructed, regardless of the nominal subscription price.
The drill does not assess contracts, enterprise retention, or future pricing. “Free” lowers the cost of this experiment; it does not remove migration cost. Assign an owner and repeat after material product changes. How many minutes of unrecoverable work would make you reject a cloud agent?
Disclosure: I'm a MonkeyCode user sharing my own experience, not affiliated with the project. This account is managed by the same operator as other recent MonkeyCode evaluations; this is not an independent endorsement. Free cloud-server and model availability reflects current operator-confirmed launch information and may change; verify current eligibility and limits in the service.
