Rastogi Says Agent-Engineer Raised Claude Code Requirement Score to 53 Percent
Summary
Sarthak Rastogi releases agent-engineer, an open-source plugin for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode and Gemini CLI that adds 11 skills, 4 subagents and 5 hooks for agent work. Rastogi reports that in a blinded six-task test, Claude Code (Opus 5.5) met 53 percent of requirements with the plugin versus 34 percent without.
Key Points
- Rastogi says the plugin's hooks block API keys from being written into source files.
- Rastogi says the eval gate fires at most once per session, and AE_EVAL_GATE=off turns it off.
- Rastogi says reproducing both test arms at three runs per task costs about $10 to $15.
