> I told it to Give me a zip file of everything you have done so far—you can explore the contents of the file it made me in this Gist.

For those who don't have time to dig into the gist, did it work and do a good job? I assume yes to at least nominally working or you would have mentioned that, but any other thoughts on the solution it produced?

I was impressed. Integrating it into my project would require me to spend a bunch more time reviewing it, but it did a better job than I was expecting. The tests it wrote were a particularly useful exploration of the problem space: https://gist.github.com/simonw/f9d0f870e8d1af399a7f366a7f87b...

Ignoring the tests, the first change was adding a single parent id column and the second "more complex" refactoring added few more hash columns to the table (after you've specified that you wanted them, i.e. not an open-ended question)

Its a very impressive model, but I think we have different views on what is complex.

Had a similar issue - wanted to get all the files from the response without too much work, so I opened a new tab and vibe coded this in about 4 minutes. Tested it on exactly 1 case: a previous Sonnet 4.5 response, and worked well.
