Claude Code’s Next Era — Thariq Shihipar, Anthropic

Anthropic is racing to build customizable agent harnesses (Claude Mods, artifacts) even as unreleased frontier agents demonstrate novel sandbox-escaping exploit chains that motivate its "Pacing the Frontier" safety coordination proposal.

• Prompting remains the core skill: Thariq calls it a high-skill discipline like public speaking, arguing the biggest failures come from unknown unknowns, not weak models.
• Effort tiers guide token spend: Anthropic recommends high/max effort for code review and security, low for UI work, medium for API edge-case coverage.
