Same Prompt. Four Outputs.
We gave the same prompt to vanilla Claude and three Godmode tiers. The difference isn't subtle.
$ Build an advanced particle physics sandbox that's impossible to put down.
The test: One prompt. No follow-up. No clarification. Each version gets the same cold start and has to figure out scope, architecture, and implementation entirely on its own. The metrics below are from real runs.

Note: Higher token usage and cost for Godmode tiers reflects deeper execution — more context loaded, more tests written, more security checks, more verification passes. You're paying for quality, not verbosity.
See for yourself.
Same prompt. Same model. The only difference is the skill.
Stop settling for first-draft output.
