mitsuhiko: Anthropic bans select third-party coding harnesses, enforcement now inconsistent

mitsuhiko · x · 2026-09-23

mitsuhiko points out that Anthropic's subscription specifically bans pi and a few other third-party coding harnesses, but the ban hasn't been extended to other harnesses, making enforcement inconsistent. Users report OMP still works fine, and steipete quips that 'they only ban the popular ones.' The boundaries for third-party tools remain murky for subscribers.
