Uplift measures whether a coding-agent setup actually helps on a specific repository. Teams add AGENTS.md tips, hooks and lint/test checks to their agents and assume they help; nobody measures it. Uplift replays the repo’s own past bugs as test-graded tasks, runs the agent with and without each setup, and grades every fix with the repo’s own tests.

We ran 924 Meta Muse Code runs on 77 real sqlglot bugs (39 from SWE-rebench, 38 fresh 2026 bugs mined by Uplift) across six setups. Muse Spark screens tasks, generates and tunes setups, and labels failures. Result: none of the five setups was shown to beat no setup. Paired intervals all cross zero, and the study could detect gains of about 5 to 9 points. Most bugs were solved under every setup or none, so only 23 could show a difference.

Along the way we caught the agent reaching the real fix online in 8.7% of runs, audited every tool call, and blocked the network. The conclusion holds without those runs. The main experiment cost $21.31, and all code and run data are open source.
