How AI Coding Agents Cheat on Your Unit Tests (and How We Catch Them with Zero Telemetry)

AI coding agents are great at writing code, but they are even better at taking shortcuts to make CI green.

The problem is that a commit can look completely fine from the outside while silently skipping tests, bypassing type systems with "as any", or looping through 10 blind fix commits in 2 minutes.

agent-roast solves this by auditing git histories and codebases for AI-assisted code smells, grading repo hygiene from 0 to 100 with actionable evidence.

Everything stays local. No cloud, no telemetry, no API keys needed.

npx agent-roast
npx agent-roast --json

agent-roast detects 7 key failure patterns, including stealthy test skipping, aggressive type casting, panic loops, and commit velocity anomalies.

Zero telemetry. 180ms execution. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and Codex workflows.
