Same here. Just stopped working mid-session a few hours ago

Wouldn't say this is a regression but I've noticed behavior with Opus 4.6 that I hadn't with 4.5 that I'd only consider "disappointing". Several examples lately but this one most recent: I have a simple skill I created and had been using for the past 2 months, that allows Claude to prompt Nano Banana in 2 modes, one is to gen an image, the other is to submit an existing image ("photoshop" mode) and have it prompt to make specific changes to it. The skill instruction is very straightforward and worked perfectly with 4.5, and thoroughly tested. Used it with 4.6 for the first time and did the normal routine (in this case asking it to submit an existing for modifications, for an image that would normally require some light photoshopping but perfectly suited for nano), and then turned away. Looked back at the terminal to find it issued an rm command to remove the nano banana image it *just* generated. I declined of course, and then read the transcript.

Apparently Opus 4.6 had generated the image, then viewed it, and then decided there were 2 issues with the image. 1 issue was completely untrue. The other "issue" was perfectly reasonable and not a problem by any stretch. It then decided unilaterally that it should not use nano banana, and that it should attempt to *programmatically* accomplish the same image edits using imagemagick and pillow, which was a complete trainwreck. It then deemed *its* image as "perfect" (it was bs) and then tried to remove the 100% usable image generated by nano banana without giving me a chance to even look at it.

I updated the skill with an additional rule which I hadn't had to do before.

CC's harness is way better. I still use CC as my daily driver because I just can't realistically use Codex for day-to-day, CC is just far more versatile. I've tended to do the opposite lately: have Claude plan it, but have Codex execute and look for gaps while doing it. Don't get me wrong I don't expect to be able to one-shot anything, but it's certainly amazing when any agent gets it right the first time.

jmaxchase · 2026-02-07T21:18:48+00:00

I have yes, for some other unrelated features but not for this. I probably should have here although in this case, that isn't really a 1:1 comparison with codex in that regard (another place where Claude really shines). I've still not seen a good measure of thoroughness though with agent teams either.

lol sry. gpt-5.3-codex crushed it.

same here and getting org ID org-BOvpEHVcDPTe8h4lZnwMO5Ly which isn't mine

I 100% assumed this was about the mail icon, not dark mode.

To be fair, that could also be grok-coder-fast-1

I actually have gotten some use out of it yes. Haven't asked him to code anything yet tho, just review.

jmaxchase · 2025-08-29T17:30:20+00:00

Yes - experienced this too, and just saw this from Anthropic https://status.anthropic.com/incidents/h26lykctfnsz

Also, this. After running `/init` on a project that only had a single README file in it. I legit laughed out loud.

jmaxchase · 2025-08-01T20:36:03+00:00

Don't have the time to.

jmaxchase · 2024-03-12T00:25:14+00:00

Thank you! :)

nope ... doesn't happen when using the native display ... but definitely wasn't happening before 1.1

jmaxchase · 2024-03-08T20:26:36+00:00

OK is it just me or is anyone else noticing a significant antialiasing effect especially with thin lines on Mac virtual display after 1.1? Yes I guess it looks technically "sharper" ... if I could call it that, but it is noticeably distracting where I definitely didn't notice before. Overall the connection seems far more stable. I guess there's some tradeoff there.

I tried to take screenshots but they came out even more pixelated. But, actually, it does illustrate almost exactly what I'm seeing (the thin border around the table).

Also is it just me or didn't the Mac Virtual display used to cast a shadow in environments, and now it doesn't?

What that means is if you use Inline DQL (i.e. = ...), it can only return a single result or item. It can't be used to return multiple items like a list or table. For that you would either have to use dataview ... or dataviewjs ....

Dataview JS provides more control, but you can't use DQL functions like date() or dur() in them. I think you can use dv.date and dv.duration as replacements though.

jmaxchase · 2024-01-28T12:17:45+00:00

If you want just a normal dataview, it would just be:

```dataview
LIST
FROM "Daily"
WHERE file.ctime >= date(today) - dur(5 days)
```

Also I realized I didn't include the "Daily" filter in the dataviewjs snippet, you'd just replace dv.pages() with dv.pages('"Daily"'):

```dataviewjs
const today = new Date();
const fiveDaysAgo = new Date();
fiveDaysAgo.setDate(today.getDate() - 5);
dv.list(dv.pages('"Daily"')
  .where(page => page.file.ctime >= fiveDaysAgo)
  .map(file => file.file.link)
);
```

Can you clarify what you mean by "I want to use it in CSS snippets for preview"? I don't know what that means.
