Column reports improved delegation and external-document checks during an Opus 5.5 coding workflow.

What the source shows

Column’s launch testimonial describes a workflow in which subagents and checks against third-party documentation helped uncover a modeling error behind a code bug. This account is attributed to the customer.

What to inspect

The useful question is how verification was separated from implementation. A second agent repeating the same assumption is not independent confirmation. Look for concrete external evidence and a failing test that becomes a passing test.

A useful way to try this

Assign one narrow implementation task and an independently specified review task. Ask the reviewer to cite the relevant API contract, then test a case that would fail under the original assumption. Record disagreements instead of silently resolving them in a summary.

Evidence and limitations
