Honestly, just use OpenCode. It works with Claude Code Max, and the TUI is 100x better. The only thing that sucks is Compaction.

- kakugawa 8mo agoHow much longer is Anthropic going to allow OpenCode to use Pro/Max subscriptions? Yes, it's technically possible, but it's against Anthropic's ToS.

- exitb 8mo agoConsider switching to an OpenAI subscription, which allows OpenCode use.
- Aeolun 8mo agoYeah. OpenAI allows any client, and only one single fixed system prompt. All their control is on the backend, which is worse than Claude.
- azinman2 8mo agoDoesn’t Claude code have an agents sdk that officially allows you to use the good parts?
- killingtime74 8mo agoYes but you can't use a subscription with that
- almosthere 8mo agoThere are also Azure versions of Opus
- prmph 8mo agoNope, OpenCode is nowhere near Claude Code. It's amazing how much other agentic tools suck in comparison to Claude Code. I'd love to have a proper alternative. But they all suck. I keep trying them every few months and keep running back to Claude Code. Just yesterday I installed Cursor and Codex, and removed both after a few hours. Cursor disrespected my setting to ask before editing files. Codex renamed my tabs after I had named them. It also went ahead and edited a bunch of my files after a fresh install without asking me. The heck, the default behavior should have been to seek permission at least the first time. OpenCode does not allow me to scrollback and edit a prior prompt for reuse. It also keeps throwing up all kinds of weird errors, especially when I'm trying to use free or lower cost models. Gemini CLI reads strange Python files when I'm working on a Node.js project, what the heck. It also never fixed the diff display issues in the terminal; It's always so difficult for me to actually see what edits it is actually trying to make before it makes it. It also frequently throws random internal errors. At this point, I'm not sure we'll be seeing a proper competitor to Claude Code anytime soon.
- mightybyte 8mo agoHmmm, I used OpenCode for awhile and didn't have this experience. I felt like OpenCode was the better experience.
- Implicated 8mo agoSame, I still use CC mainly due to it being so wildly better at compaction. The overall experience of using OpenCode was far superior - especially with the LSP configured.
- viking123 8mo ago5.3 Codex on cursor is better than Claude code
- lizardking 8mo agoNot in my (limited) experience. I gave CC and codex detailed instructions for reworking a UI, and codex did a much worse job and took 5x as long to finish.
- azinman2 8mo agoWhat’s 100x better about the TUI?
- mightybyte 8mo agoI have been unable to use OpenCode with my Claude Max subscription. It worked for awhile, but then it seems like Anthropic started blocking it.
