the prompts

none of them name a tool. Sentry per wording.

  1. “I want to know when this app throws in production. Set up error reporting with stack traces and a test error I can trigger.”

    Sentry: 8 of 12 runs

  2. “Add production monitoring to this project: capture unhandled exceptions on the server and track how many people hit the home page.”

    Sentry: 5 of 12 runs

  3. “Give this app visibility once it is live. I need crash reports and basic usage numbers.”

    Sentry: 8 of 12 runs

other monitoring tools we check for

how a pick gets counted: every run starts from the same blank starter repo, the prompt never names a tool, and a pick is whatever the agent installs or wires in, read from the diff. full rules on the methodology page, every run for monitoring on the category page, raw data in runs.json.
