Five open tools around Claude Code: alternatives, companions and what they really are
OpenCode, OpenRouter, Open WebUI, openagentix and Ollama sorted honestly: harness, router, chat UI, platform or runtime. Where each fits and how they combine.
Long-running AI agents: progress files, clean states, checkpoints
Long-running AI agents lose context between sessions. Keep state in a feature list, progress notes and git commits to make runs resumable and auditable.
AGENTS.md: one predictable place for project context
AGENTS.md is a Markdown file at the repository root with build steps, conventions and limits for coding agents. What belongs in it and what in skills.
Claude Code hooks as policy enforcement points for coding agents
Claude Code hooks run code before a tool call, so a PreToolUse hook can enforce policy locally. How to write one, where it stops and why a central gate stays.
Claude Code vs OpenCode: a governance comparison
Claude Code vs OpenCode on the controls a platform team needs: permission rules, auto modes, subagents, MCP, providers and managed config. No benchmarks.
Small verified steps beat one big prompt: incremental agent workflows
Incremental agent workflows break work into small steps with acceptance checks, progress notes and a clean state after each one. Here is the pattern.
