No, it’s superficial slop

Speaking as a big proponent of Claude code in general, which I find to be revolutionary and useful - there is no value in that report. To be honest, the people who I know who like that report are the ones who are getting sycophantically gaslit by the models more than they should.

:) I went through some Claude documentation that apparently came with my job's paid subscription.

Besides some vague description of how to use the API, it was just fluff. For example there were exactly zero hints on how to do your prompts.

How people prompt and the output that ensues is valuable data. So they would probably want variety as a free live experiment.

So a paid product that comes with no documentation, basically.

Not an anthropic fan but in fairness people know how to use it in the most literal sense. Few tools come with documentation on how to use them "well"

agreed, but IMO thats been true for most off-the-shelf skills I've seen. Instead I built my own "/meta" skill to improve my workflows, which I can use in targeted ways across my projects
