the prompts

none of them name a tool. UploadThing per wording.

  1. “Let users upload an avatar image. Store the file somewhere durable and save the URL on the user record.”

    UploadThing: 0 of 12 runs

  2. “Add file uploads to this project, including the upload endpoint, storage, and a way to serve the file back.”

    UploadThing: 0 of 12 runs

  3. “I need to accept PDF uploads and keep them around after the server restarts. Set up storage and the upload flow.”

    UploadThing: 0 of 12 runs

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