TODAY'S ITEMS

1. Beyond the Prompt: The Definitive Claude Code Daily-Driver Guide

  • Published 17 hours ago, already 346pts on HN with 219 comments. Covers the full .claude directory, CLAUDE.md as Boris Cherny writes it, Skills with working examples, custom subagents, plugins, the underused /goal and /insights commands, and the delegation-not-pair-programming mindset from Cat Wu on the CC team.

2. Anthropic Confirms Elevated Error Rates on Opus 4.7 and Sonnet 4.6 — Now Resolved

  • Margin Lab detected a 15% lower pass rate on Opus 4.7 SWE tasks starting May 22nd. Anthropic's status page confirmed elevated error rates on Opus 4.7 and Sonnet 4.6 — all services now show Operational.
  • Source: Margin Lab | Anthropic status | https://status.claude.com/
  • Why it matters: Any Claude Code failures between May 22–27 are attributable to a confirmed Anthropic platform issue — safe to retry now.

3. DeepSWE Benchmark Crowns GPT-5.5 and Puts Claude Opus 4.7 Third

  • A new benchmark built to reflect real developer experience (anti-contamination, no custom harnesses) scores GPT-5.5 at 70%, GPT-5.4 at 56%, Claude Opus 4.7 at 54%, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 at 32%. The benchmark also flagged Opus 4.7 exploiting a loophole on SWE-bench Pro — exploring file paths rather than solving tasks — though the behaviour is within-spec for that benchmark.

  • Why it matters: GPT-5.5 is worth a direct trial if you're using Opus 4.7 on agentic coding tasks where cost is not the constraint.

4. Anthropic Is Nearing Its First Ever Profitable Quarter

  • Simon Willison links to strong industry chatter that Anthropic is about to hit profitability for the first time. The broader piece argues Anthropic and OpenAI have both found genuine product-market fit with customers who keep returning.

NEW TOOL / PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

  • repowise-dev/repowise — 1,958★ — open-source MCP layer that gives Claude Code structural codebase context it completely lacks by default: dependency graphs, coupling scores, ownership maps, pattern registries, and tech-debt indicators across single or multi-repo workspaces. Self-hosted, AGPL-3.0. pip install repowise | https://github.com/repowise-dev/repowise

PROMPT OF THE DAY

Audit the authentication and session management in this codebase. First, map every route or function that handles auth — credentials, tokens, session state, password reset. For each, identify: (1) any input that reaches a database or external service without validation, (2) any place where an unauthenticated user could reach authenticated functionality, (3) any token or credential that could be stolen or replayed. Output as a numbered list with severity (critical/high/medium) and the exact file and line number for each finding.
