Coding agents / rank 1 of 17 / cycle 04
Claude Code benchmark
The highest strict pass rate in the agent group, and third highest in the whole index. It was the only agent that produced a signed webhook with a retry ladder in prompt 5 in all five runs without the criterion being restated, and the only one that added an idempotency key to the write path unprompted. It is a terminal agent with no interface of its own, so design and SEO reflect the stack it was pointed at rather than anything it invented.
Composite index

of 100 | withheld vs. cycle 03
Delta not shown for cycle 04: the roster was re-based from one merged ranking into two class boards, so cycle 03 and cycle 04 ranks are not on the same scale. Resumes cycle 05.

Composite recomputed from these 9 rows: 79.72. That is the arithmetic behind the index, and you can repeat it by hand. Rounding rule: half up at two decimals, applied uniformly to all 37 published products. Code ownership has no row here: it is not scored on this board.

Every recorded prompt duration for Claude Code, in seconds. Median wall clock time for one prompt, not for a whole build. The cyan tick on the whisker is the median.
Spread against the cohort
p10 39.9 s / median 65.5 s / p90 100.7 s
Scale is shared with every product in the cohort, so the bars are directly comparable between pages. Ratio of p90 to median is 1.54x.

Seeded at launch
The reader scores, lab notes and open ratings published here were written by this lab in August 2026 to populate the reader column before the site had readers. They are not customer submissions, they are not vendor supplied and nobody was paid for them. Anything submitted since then comes from a registered account. The lab index is measured from logged runs and is unaffected either way.

What agent performance looked like in practice
The highest strict pass rate in the agent group, and third highest in the whole index. It was the only agent that produced a signed webhook with a retry ladder in prompt 5 in all five runs without the criterion being restated, and the only one that added an idempotency key to the write path unprompted. It is a terminal agent with no interface of its own, so design and SEO reflect the stack it was pointed at rather than anything it invented.
Across 45 recorded executions this product met the published pass criterion cleanly 41 times, partially 3 times and failed 1 times. The rows above carry the reviewer note for every non clean outcome, which is the only way to tell a product that fails loudly from one that fails quietly.
