How we made Trail of Bits AI-native (so far)
Summary: Trail of Bits reports that a year after roughly 5% of the company backed its AI initiative, it now runs 94 plugins, 201 skills, and 84 specialized agents, with AI-augmented auditors finding 200 bugs a week on some engagements. The firm describes a six-part system - standardized Claude Code use, an AI Handbook with usage policy, an AI Maturity Matrix, hackathons, a curated skills marketplace, and default sandboxing - built to work around four psychological barriers to adoption.
Why it matters: The firm cites a National Bureau of Economic Research study of 6,000 executives finding AI had no measurable impact on productivity, with actual usage at 1.5 hours per week and 90% of firms reporting zero impact - the gap it attributes to handing out tools without changing the system.
