Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
