Early on we realized that none of the existing tracing solutions are 100% matching what we want to see and code is cheap, so we’ve build a custom admin panel that evolved in a full solution.

Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-11-07).
Exact match on the developer-experience subpage, rendered in headless Chrome. The source's own typo 'we've build' is preserved in the passage. Only apostrophe style was normalized.

We took inspiration from Terraform: agent definitions should live in version control and move through the same review and deployment process as the rest of the product. An agent’s instructions, model, tools, and environment are declared in code, and our deployment pipeline registers changes with Laminar.

Coding agents can use that environment too, running sessions against the live system to validate their changes.

Laminar adopts the concept of deferred tools: most of the tools are hidden behind a tool with a way for product teams to choose which tools they don’t want to defer.

Many Inspect sessions never need a sandbox at all, and a support agent can answer plenty of questions before it has any reason to run code or process a file.

We’ve found that skills help to establish a more consistent baseline of performance for how well agents use tools.
