Claude can one shot tasks until you get a larger system then it completely shits itself. These models are nothing more than autocomplete, and they can’t hold large systems in their heads. Anthropic literally tried to rewrite all of bun using Claude, they said they did it and yet it still hasn’t released six months later.

This has gotten a lot better for me by having a “send out scouts” skill that has a lower tier model agent search through the codebase before it starts to plan. Has handled my companies giant monolith pretty well and even can handle cross repo features as well.
It is worth noting that the repo had multiple Anthropic employees commiting to it after the bun rewrite and before release, and that so far the only successful use cases that Anthropic or OpenAi showed are… rewrites from one language to another given sufficiently large test suites.

Claude code has been using the new rust bun for ~5 months now and has been working fine, and bun 1.4 that released in August is using the rust rewrite
