Sculptor scores 53.1 (D) on agent readiness against T3 Code's 51.9 (D), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories. T3 Code leads on schema & documentation and agent ergonomics. Both do agent harnesses.

- Sculptor: D 53.1, rank #960 of 1486 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/sculptor.min.md
- T3 Code: D 51.9, rank #1002 of 1486 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/t3-code.min.md
- Sculptor, good for Developers who want parallel coding agents in isolated workspaces and are fine with a research preview. Ahead on Security & auth, 57 against 35; Transparency & trust, 57 against 51.
- T3 Code, good for Developers who want one app, including on their phone, to drive several coding agents they already pay for. Ahead on Schema & documentation, 55 against 45; Agent ergonomics, 60 against 50.

Why the edge:
- Security & auth, Sculptor +22: Sculptor 57 (Harness reading. Product analytics, error reporting and session recording default to off in the user config, and the app asks for a telemetry level and privacy consent at first run; PostHog runs on the front end only for now (25 of 30). Each workspace is an isolated copy of the code (14 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). SECURITY.md (8). 25 + 14 + 5 + 5 + 8 = 57.); T3 Code 35 (Harness reading. Product usage events go by default to ingest.t3.codes and PostHog, with hashed identifiers for your T3 Connect, OpenAI and Claude accounts, and relay traces to Axiom, which can include machine names and error text. Off with T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false or a managed policy. Disclosed in docs/user/telemetry.md, not the README (10 of 30). Permission modes and managed policies (12 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). No security policy file found (3). 10 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 35.)
- Schema & documentation, T3 Code +10: Sculptor 45 (Harness reading. A README, specs and agent docs in the repository; no API reference (45).); T3 Code 55 (Harness reading. User docs in the repository (managed policy, handoffs, providers, telemetry), AGENTS.md for contributors, a server other clients connect to (55).)
- Agent ergonomics, T3 Code +10: Sculptor 50 (Harness reading. Workspaces as isolated copies, review and merge back, and built-in skills (50).); T3 Code 60 (Harness reading. Remote control from phone or browser, portable handoffs between providers and managed policies for teams (60).)
- Transparency & trust, Sculptor +6: Sculptor 57 (MIT (30). Consent-based telemetry documented in the repository (18 of 30). The README warns of drastic changes during the research preview, with no deprecation policy (5). Opt-in telemetry (20). 30 + 18 + 5 + 20 = 73.); T3 Code 51 (MIT (30). docs/user/telemetry.md lists what is sent and what isn't, but includes hashed third-party account identifiers and the README doesn't mention it (15 of 30). No deprecation policy (5). Disclosed with an opt-out, on by default (12 of 20). 30 + 15 + 5 + 12 = 62.)
