## What happened
Anthropic announced Claude Sonnet 5, positioning it for coding, agent workflows and professional work.

## Why it matters
Agent stacks should be evaluated against the work they must finish: repository changes, tool use, retries and verification—not only chat quality.

## For builders
Keep your prompts portable. Run the same task definition across providers and record test pass rate, review time and operational cost.

## Try this
Create a small agent evaluation fixture: issue brief, fixed repository snapshot, test command and human rubric.
