Coding agent harnesses strike me as similar to blog generators. They can be as simple or as complex as you’d like. Plugins help with adoption. And if you want it’s real easy to write your own that does exactly what you want.

#52Glad to see tooling in my native language. I don’t want to touch TypeScript stuff with a ten foot pole, but sadly it seems to be the lingua franca for agentic tools. The one thing that would keep me from making the jump is CC’s auto mode.
What's wrong with typescript? I was thinking of getting into it.
Couldn't tell you much about node.js, but I like Deno. I avoid npm dependencies. Occasionally there's one I need.

#53Is there a good benchmark leaderboard between coding agents?

#55There is a docker registry under the same name.

This seems to be a benchmark but sadly between just primarily claude-code, codex,cursor and (gemini-cli?)

#57Nice to see one that isn't trying to grow into an agent business or cloud service.

#58Thought Claude models can only be used through Claude Code. I was wrong, I guess.
Didn't they allow using oauth in custom harnesses for personal use (e.g. pi.dev)?
That changes every 2-3 days. The current stance is that only interactive mode of first party harnesses is covered under monthly plans, everything else is pay-as-you-go with monthly credit allowance equal to the plan price.

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
ACP still exists, not sure why no one other than Zed is using it. Its best of both worlds, because you're using their CLI but in another tool
With the coming changes in June, ACP will charge towards the same budget as claude -p and the Claude Code SDK (since it uses the SDK), so ACP no longer solves this. It's (I think) why Zed added "Terminal Threads" [1] to their agent workflow 1: https://zed.dev/blog/terminal-threads
The ACP budget change is so bizarre to me. If i was more adventurous with my subscription i'd be interested to see if you could intercept UI/input from CC TUI and render that in a native GUI without it being a TUI. That would be "interactive Claude Code" but you'd get a programmatic interface.
But that would be banned almost instantly i'm sure lol.

> I don’t want to touch TypeScript stuff with a ten foot pole Why not? Is it because you need to change the code?
No, I’m just extremely averse to anything to do with JS/TS. The amount of bloat is insane and there’s a new supply chain attack every day at this point. Definition of a tire fire.
Glad I am not the only one who sees this. The immaturity of the JS/TS ecosystem has only delivered a range of issues (too many to list here) and the negatives significantly outweigh the positives.
