It's quite worrying that I have several times in the last few months had to really drive home why people should probably not be building bespoke agentic systems just to essentially act as a half baked version of an agentic coding tool when they could just go use Claude code and instead focus their efforts on creating value rather than instant technical debt.
- CuriouslyC 11mo agoYou can pretty much completely reprogram agents just by passing them through a smart proxy. You don't need to rewrite claude/codex, just add context engineering and tool behaviors at the proxy layer.
- mritchie712 11mo agoyep, that's exactly where we've landed. focus on the tools and context, let claude handle the execution.
- RamtinJ95 11mo agoThis sounds very intriguing, any resources around this approach you can point me towards?
- CuriouslyC 11mo agoI wrote a quickie on this, I should revisit the topic soon with a more in depth demonstration. https://sibylline.dev/articles/2025-10-04-hacking-claude-code-for-fun-and-profit/ https://sibylline.dev/articles/2025-10-04-hacking-claude-cod...
- RamtinJ95 11mo agoAwesome thank you looks like a great intro to the idea at least
