Same Prompt. Four Outputs.

We gave the same prompt to vanilla Claude and three Godmode tiers. The difference isn't subtle.

Claude Opus 4.6 · April 2026 · Identical environment
claude-code — prompt
$ Create a pixel art editor with layers, custom color palettes, animation frames, and PNG export.
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.

Issues Found
  • highZero automated tests — no unit, integration, or visual regression coverage
  • highNo try/catch around export blob creation; failures crash silently
  • mediumNo save/load of work in progress — only PNG export, so undo history is lost on refresh
  • mediumMobile UX is functional but cramped; desktop-first layout retrofitted with media queries
  • mediumHistory uses full state snapshots — memory grows quadratically on large canvases
  • mediumNo keyboard shortcut to swap fg/bg colors or zoom in/out
  • lowdrawCircleOutline uses Set<string> for dedupe — slow on large radii
  • lowNo brush cursor preview — user can't see brush size before clicking
  • lowResize canvas doesn't offer crop vs scale option — always crops top-left

Issues Found
  • lowBrush sizes ≥2 stamp offset by -1 rather than centering perfectly on the cursor
  • lowNo live brush-size cursor preview overlay before clicking
  • lowPixel operations snapshot the full document via structuredClone — memory grows with doc size on very large canvases (>256²)
  • lowSave/Load JSON does not persist current tool selection, zoom, or view state — only the document
  • lowFlood fill queue uses Array-of-pairs; a typed index queue would be marginally faster for large fills
  • lowFrame-strip thumbnails redraw on every rAF during active strokes; could throttle further for docs with many frames
Composite Score 0.91

Issues Found
  • fixedDeleting a frame could leave activeLayer pointing past the new frame's layer count — caught and clamped in loop iteration
  • highNo automated test suite — only manual syntax validation via new Function() parse
  • mediumHistory uses full state snapshots with typed-array copies per frame/layer — memory grows with (frames × layers × w × h × 4)
  • mediumcompositeFrame allocates a fresh offscreen canvas on every render call; frame thumbnails re-composite on every stroke end
  • mediumEllipse tool samples the parametric curve rather than using midpoint algorithm — produces duplicate pixels and gaps at small radii
  • lowOnion skin next-frame tint uses source-in compositing which can drop low-alpha edges
  • lowHex input rejects 3-digit shorthand (#f0a) — only accepts 6-digit form
  • lowFlood fill uses recursive array stack; extremely large fills on 128² could hit memory pressure
  • lowNative confirm() dialogs for destructive actions — clashes with the custom dark theme
  • lowNo brush-size cursor preview before clicking

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.
