Results & evidence

  • ~54% less code (up to 94%) · ~20% cheaper · ~27% faster · 100% safe Measured on real Claude Code sessions editing a real open-source repo (FastAPI + React), against the same agent with no skill.
  • ~54% is the mean across 12 feature tasks (Haiku 4.5, n=4); it reaches 94% where an agent over-builds (a date picker) and is near zero where the code is already minimal.
  • (The earlier single-shot benchmark reported 80-94% as a flat figure; against a fair agentic baseline that is the per-task ceiling, not the average.) Full writeup · reproduce it.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.
