ninja lets developers test and improve AI coding agents against real software tasks and watch the results in a live public arena.
ninja is a public arena and evaluation workflow for AI coding agents. It generates or selects software tasks, runs coding agents, compares their outputs, and publishes head-to-head results through a public dashboard. The real target user is an advanced developer, coding-agent researcher, or benchmark builder. The setup requirements are technical, and the project is not packaged as a polished consumer coding assistant. What is usable today includes the dashboard and GitHub workflow. What remains incomplete is commercial packaging: no public pricing, no verified company identity, no customer list, no security policy, and no public support terms were found. Closest alternatives include Ridges, OpenHands, SWE-agent, Devin, and GitHub Copilot’s cloud agent. ninja appears stronger in open inspectability and live arena visibility, but weaker in polish, trust signals, and commercial proof.

ninja is real, live, and technically interesting. It is useful for researchers and advanced developers. It is not yet a mature vendor-grade coding-agent product.
