Well, to be fair, you cut the 6 important words that show the context: > We’re working on exciting changes that will make it feel like you’re getting more from Claude On the other hand, I think the biggest improvement they could do is allow using Claude Code subscriptions from third party harnesses with no strings attached.

What strings are attached? I thought they reverted the API usage changes

Last update from Anthropic was that they only allow third party harnesses via extra usage credits or API key: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s/cNb55vmWqW

It does for me. You need to ensure that they are injected into context. Your models might be broken if they ignore it. As good as ignoring a prompt.

> Overall, our results suggest that context files don’t improve coding agent performance, and should only contain specific additional instructions beyond what is already available in the codebase

That's what the study says.

I recently did a much smaller scale test. Some coworker was pestering me about some brilliant skill file so i backed up Claude's state and told it to make a plan for some refactoring task with and without those skills installed.

The results were identical. I didn't measure token use though.

I subscribed to Claude Pro for one month earlier this year. The subscription lasts as long as you chat with it in the UI. The moment you use Claude Code, it becomes useless and you keep hitting limits. So, great for hammering out a specification, not so great for actually writing and debugging code. I have a lot of hobby projects and cannot afford to drop $200/m for assistance from LLMs with above average intelligenc…

Meanwhile OpenAI resets everyone's weekly Codex limits back to 100% seemingly every other day as a kind of game.

I am very tempted to jump over to Codex for a little while. My friends are split between codex and claude code and hearing them getting a new reset every day for the past week has been giving me FOMO. Maybe that is intentional
