I think it's good that it's out there, and I wonder why Anthropic have been keeping it closed source; clearly they can't possibly think that the CC source code is a competitive advantage...?

Agents in general are easy to make, and trivial to make for yourself especially, and the result will be much better than what any of the big providers can make for you.

`pi` with whatever commands/extensions you want to make for yourself is better than CC if you really don't want to go through the trouble of making your own thing.

why do you think agents you make yourself will be better for you? integration with tooling that you prefer? your local dev setup built in?

curious as i haven't gotten around to writing my own agent yet

I feel the same way. Given it's AI-written, looking at the code isn't even worth it to me. I would rather read a blog post about how they develop it day to day.

That’s what every agent does. They are fundamentally simple.

But you can do a lot of interesting things on top of this. I highly recommend writing an agent and hooking it up to a local model.

Clever architecture often can still beat clever programming.
