slash-bad
Moments when a coding agent did something its user didn't like, flagged in the
middle of real work with /bad <what went wrong>, then re-run on newer models.
Each row is one flagged moment: the conversation up to that point, the response that annoyed the user, the user's own words about what was wrong with it, and blind verdicts on how far that complaint applies to the original response and to re-runs by other models.
The data comes from slash-bad,
a personal benchmark for Claude Code and Codex. People contribute their cases
with /bad-share, which anonymises them and opens a pull request here.
Fields (data/*.jsonl)
| field | what it is |
|---|---|
id |
random id for the case |
harness |
claude-code or codex |
harness_version |
version of the harness when the case was captured |
model |
the model that wrote the flagged response |
complaint |
what the user said was wrong, verbatim |
flagged_response |
the response they flagged |
conversation |
the context before it, as steps: user, assistant, tool_call, tool_result |
verdicts |
blind judge scores, 0 to 10, where 10 means the complaint doesn't apply; response is flagged or replay, with the replaying model and its text |
stats |
counts: user messages, tool calls, and whether the flagged message came straight after a tool result |
sessions/claude_code/<id>.jsonl and sessions/codex/<id>.jsonl hold the same
context in the harness's own format, so a case can be replayed exactly.
How a replay works
Only the flagged message is regenerated. The stored conversation is resumed under the current harness, with its real system prompt and tools, and any tool call the new model tries is refused with a plain "permission denied" message. That keeps the comparison fair without copying the repository or mocking tool output, at the cost of not testing whether a newer model would have taken a different path earlier in the conversation.
Privacy
Contributions are anonymised automatically before upload: known secret formats, credentials in URLs, key/value secrets, email addresses, private IP addresses, home directory paths, the local username and git identity are replaced, and the user's CLAUDE.md is dropped. Code and file contents are not removed, and every contributor is asked to read their files before they upload. If you find something here that shouldn't be, open a discussion and it will be removed.
Seed data
The first cases were produced deliberately: sessions of claude-opus-5 on small
throwaway repositories, in scenarios built to provoke the failure modes described
in Common LLM failure modes,
then flagged and compared against claude-opus-5-5.
