What would you use instead?

I built an internal CI chat bot with it like 6 months ago when I was learning. It’s deployed and doing what everyone needs it to do.

Claude Code can do most of what it does without needing anything special. I think that’s the future but I hate the vendor lock in Anthropic is pushing with CC.

All my python tools could be skills, and some folks are doing that now but I don’t need to chase after every shiny thing — otherwise I’d never stop rewriting the damn thing.

Especially since there’s no standardizing yet on plugins/skills/commands/hooks yet.

Accepting any kind of vendor lock in within this space at the moment is an incredibly bad idea. Who knows what will get released next week, let alone the next year. Anthropic might be dead in the water in six months. It's unlikely but not impossible. Expand that to a couple of years and it's not even that unlikely.
