how embeds work

the prompts

none of them name a tool. Sequelize per wording.

  1. “Add a data access layer for users and posts. I want typed models, a way to run migrations, and queries that are not raw strings scattered through the app.”

    Sequelize: 0 of 12 runs

  2. “Set up schema definitions for a users table and a posts table with a foreign key between them, plus migration tooling so I can evolve the schema later.”

    Sequelize: 0 of 12 runs

  3. “I need models and queries for this project. Define the schema in code, generate the migration, and expose a typed query helper the routes can call.”

    Sequelize: 0 of 12 runs

other ORM 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 ORM on the category page, raw data in runs.json.
