Claude Code's new plugin eval showed one developer's skills firing in 5 of 9 relevant runs once all 89 were loaded, down from every run with one skill. The test covers three prompts in one project, but it gives teams that keep rules in skills a way to measure how often those rules get consulted.

OneFindMe's developer took axe-core to zero findings, then a keyboard and VoiceOver pass turned up six kinds of failure the scanner never flagged. One site and one blind iPhone user make a strong case for a screen reader in the release test plan.

Omni Calculator says any number a customer acts on should come from a deterministic tool, after its benchmark scored AI models at 48.4% to 70.4% on math. Its own Toronto BMW example went wrong at the input, so a calculation engine protects operators only when the right data reaches it.

Every 10 minutes an unattended job summarizes Claude Code and Codex logs into an Obsidian vault and pushes the commit, so the pipeline treats the summarizer's own JSON as text that may carry pasted keys or injected instructions.

A developer pinned a model into all 11 of his own subagent files, then counted 576 launches and found 63% were built-ins inheriting the session default. One implementation plus one review emptied his top model's limit.

The band it joined is one where the best closed models still finish under 10% of tasks end to end at roughly $50 and 20 minutes each, so what post-training buys a law firm is price and hosting rather than capability.
