@simonw, how much have you used Claude code? I'm wondering if it makes sense to use Claude code as the main driver, but have crafted specialized "llm" based tools for Claude to use.

I would love to only have to use llm, but with the amount of functionality that Claude code provides, it seems unlikely that llm would ever support all of its features. Also, I have realized that llm is narrower in scoop, which is something I like about the tool.

I use Claude Code a few times a week but honestly I'm a little intimidated by how quickly it chews through tokens!

I think it's not impossible that LLM might one day be able to handle the same kind of processes with the right collection of tool plugins and a really sophisticated system prompt but it's not something I'm shooting for right now - Claude Code is a very complicated system!
