alt Hacker News> Claude Code injects a ton of tools into the system prompt
It's so unfortunate they don't let you use the subscription with other harnesses anymore - since even if I used OpenCode they'd still get a bunch of useful data from the API calls, meanwhile I could stretch their tier limits way further.

According to ccusage I use about $5k of tokens on my $100/mo Claude Max plan and only hit 5-hr windows where I have to switch tools for a couple hours about once a week
It's so unfortunate people don't realize it's cheaper to write their own well working agent instead of insisting with general purpose bloated ones like Claude.
200$/month is a lot of money on Luna/DS4 flash, like really a lot and the results are much better than clowning on bloated CC.
It's absurd how you have more and more organizations encoding their processes on LLMs and "engineers" (charlatan coders) don't even bother optimizing the tool they use most.
Subsidized Anthropic subscriptions seem to work fine on the oh-my-pi harness, somehow.
