The SDK bundles Claude code and uses it for its agentic work. The SDK really only lets you control the UI layer. It als doesn’t yet fully support plan mode.

I use the SDK in my app and it works fine with plan mode. I don't deal with auth at all. I detect if the CLI is installed and it just reuses whatever auth the user has already setup. Works fine.

    Isn't this what they just explicitly banned?

    • no, they banned use of the model without the CLI harness/SDK when using the subscription plans. Opencode was spoofing requests as if they were coming from claude code CLI, and controlling the agent loop / tool call totally internally. Anthropic wants subscription plans to use the CLI/SDK.
