What's missing from a pipeline that hands you two hours of reading?

  • Jacob Brodsky

Jacob's overnight pipeline researches while he sleeps and hands him two hours of reading every morning, which is a pipeline with a missing final stage.

Which repo security scan should you run first?

  • Frank Priboy

Anthropic's repo security tool runs in two steps: a manual scan in each repo first, then the background plugin that keeps watch. Frank walks the setup and why /doctor comes first. Codex shipped a security CLI the same morning and GitHub is rolling out its own scanner, so layer them.

  • Michael Wacht
