I’m assuming here an extrapolation of capabilities where Claude is competitive to the median OSS contributor for the off-the-shelf libraries you’d be comparing with.

As with most of the Clawd ecosystem, for now it probably is best considered an art project / prototype (or a security dumpster fire for the non-technical users adopting it).

I do think that there is room for much more granular micro-libraries that can be composed, rather than having to pull in a monolithic dependency for your need. Agents can probably vet a 1k microlibrary BoM in a way a human could never have the patience to.

(This is more the NPM way, leftpad etc, which is again a security issue in the current paradigm, but potentially very different ROI in the agent ecosystem.)
