Do-it-with-us walkthroughs.
Run a first Claude Code Projects goal and track its cost
A first parallel coding goal should be measurable, small, and checked against plan usage before you scale threads.
Before Rerouting Codex to GPT-6.1 Sol, Run Four Backlog Tasks
Run four backlog tasks, log billed tokens and wall-clock time, then compare cost per finished task before moving Codex to GPT-6.1 Sol.
Run One Real Desktop Task on Holo4 27B and Measure What 61.7% Costs
A one-task protocol for testing a local computer-use model before replacing a paid baseline.
Testing AI onchain apps: a USDC payment app loop
Treat the generated app as a suspect: trace calls, deploy to build-test networks, verify protocol behavior, export the code, then run a failure checklist.

Test Coding Agents on Long Android Tasks
Run a long-horizon Android task, score completion rate across function, visuals, and regressions, then choose the agent whose failure row matches your work.
First Long Task in Cursor Projects: A Delegation, Memory, and Trigger Checklist
A first-long-task checklist for agent projects: brief it, verify delegation, isolate branches, review memory, add a trigger.
Test Coding Agent Security Claims on Your Repo
A five-gate harness for checking whether a coding agent's security claims survive your own repo.
Grading a coding agent on agent-building work: reading pass rates
Use unseen customer-service tasks, real records, cost caps, and a pass-rate ceiling to judge whether a coding agent can build an agent.
Test Coding Agent Doc Grounding With DocSearch MCP
A grounded coding agent cites current docs and fails cleanly on questions only current docs can answer; here is a field test.
Read Copilot's cost meters before the invoice
Check allowance, session, and agent-attributed cost meters, then set model and effort defaults to keep AI credit spend inside budget.
Keep Claude Code sessions cheap: a cache-miss checklist
Treat cache-key changes, compaction, and beta switches as expensive operations, then verify hit rate after the warm turn.
Red-Team an AI Support Agent's Demo Before Launch
Test a customer-facing agent with adversarial paraphrases, multilingual retests, repeated runs, and regression cases before launch surprises become incidents.
Reading Vendor Benchmarks: 3 Questions, Astra's 99.9% vs 62.7%
Audit vendor AI benchmarks before buying: check runner, harness, task closure, human baseline, and cost.
Test an AI gateway on real agent traffic: five probes
A five-probe test plan for enterprise AI gateways: routing, guardrails, observability, policy, and cost attribution.
A Field-Test Guide for Slack Agents: Setup Time, Permission Boundaries, and Failure Modes
Treat fast agent deployment as the start of an audit: a five-point field test for setup speed, permissions, visibility, misuse, and rollback.
Test ChatGPT's bundled LibreOffice like a document pipeline, not a bloat rumor
ChatGPT's local LibreOffice is a useful document pipeline, but only if you treat it as a scoped tool, not a standing permission to roam your files.
Keep real work moving when ChatGPT is down: a 5-minute fallback audit
Treat ChatGPT downtime as a continuity test: classify tasks, map dependencies, and pre-wire fallbacks before the outage finds you.
Stop Grading AI Agents on Their Homework: Test Behavior, Containment, and False Positives Before Real Work
Treat agent evaluation like a containment experiment: run one risky task, enforce access, log every call, and score what the sandbox caught.
Audit Work Tool Skills Before They Save—or Waste—Your Office Workflow
Before enabling a work tool skill, check its instructions, exposed tools, permissions, and prompt overhead against the manual route.
Test AI Agent Frameworks on a Real Escalation Workflow
Use a real customer escalation ticket to test agent frameworks on tool access, approvals, audit logs, failure recovery, and handoff evidence.
Test Your AI Agent Like It Will Fail: A Shadow-Run Checklist
If your agent testing stops at happy-path demos, you are measuring optimism, not readiness; here is a shadow-run matrix for reliability, security, and business outcomes.
Build an H5N1 AI monitor that gives you a plain-language public-source brief—and knows when to stop
Start with the Geelong dead dolphin and seal: two carcasses, community fear, no H5N1 result in the supplied evidence. A constrained monitor briefs named sources, labels gaps, and stops before advice.
