Laminar describes how it extracts the verbatim user task from agent runs at scale, across millions of runs a day, without requiring developers to specify where the task appears. The post explains why the task is the most useful thing to know about a run and how the extraction works despite each agent harness wrapping messages differently.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://laminar.sh/blog/extracting-tasks-from-agent-runs:

> This post is about how we find the task inside all that: cheaply, across millions of runs a day, and without asking developers where to look.
