 ====== Harnesses ======
-==== Claude Code ====
+<WRAP tip center>
+We have a [[:skill|self-updating agent skill]] that will tell an agent how to reference the Synthetic docs, this wiki, and how to use the Synthetic API.
-<WRAP center round alert 60%>
-It is highly recommended **not** to use Claude Code as a coding harness with Synthetic due to excessive token bloat caused by its poor infrastructure.
 </WRAP>
-Claude Code, from Anthropic, is perhaps the most popular agentic coding harness currently. However, it is not really designed to be used with anything other than Anthropic's own Claude subscriptions.
+{{namespace>harnesses}}
-To use Claude Code with Synthetic, you will need to use something like [[https://musistudio.github.io/claude-code-router/|Claude Code Router]], a custom script, or a tool provided by the community, as described [[https://dev.synthetic.new/docs/guides/claude-code|here in the official documentation]].
-  * **Pros**: Very popular, actively maintained by a large team at Anthropic. Has many advanced features such as [[https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams|Agent Teams]] and [[https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permission-modes#eliminate-prompts-with-auto-mode|auto permissions mode]].
-  * **Cons**: Very poorly vibe-coded: updates often break things; TUI is slow, flickers a lot, and does not support terminal scrollback; extreme token bloat in the system prompts, tool prompts, and feedback to the models; extreme request bloat, in terms of making a lot of requests with the various models you've specified as haiku/sonnet/opus alternatives. Requires custom scripts or wrappers to work with anything but Anthropic's API.
