Why can I do better than Pi?
I don't want to build my own harness and deal with the bugs... I want to build my project...
My understanding is that Codex / Claude / Gemini subscriptions don't work with custom harnesses.
It's pretty hard to beat 5x more usage if you have the $200/mo subscription by using the API instead.
If you're looking for an efficiency-focused harness, I had a pretty good time using the Dirac agent. The line-based anchors were slightly buggy though (this was a couple months ago) and would sometimes add the same line of code multiple times or leave an anchor in the output.
Codex definitely does and Claude Max definitely doesn’t.
definitely doesnt is a strong word. it technically is possible, but you might get banned
That was true. But actually, I think that's changed a few weeks ago since they introduced a API credit amount equivalent to your (eg. $100, $200) that will be used for such cases. So they don't ban you, they just bill you that allocated credit and then actual API cost.
