|
| It might be; but aider is Apache 2 licensed and I don't think
| Anthropic would be able to change the license. But either way,
| these tools are simple enough that it's not hard to replicate
| what they do. So simple that it's kind of pointless for
| Anthropic to get proprietary and protective about the whole
| thing. The moat they have is with the model quality.
|
| I saw a very similar tool demoed at the local Kotlin meetup in
| Berlin just one day after Anthropic announced claude code that
| also uses the Claude API.
|
| https://github.com/xemantic/claudine
|
| Kotlin might not be everybody's cup of tea but actually seems
| to be an effective tool for the job. The level of simplicity of
| the code base is what I found the most shocking. There's almost
| nothing to it. It's tiny bits of code needed to read/write
| files and execute commands and a very simple loop where it
| interacts with claude via a simple REST API. You can read
| through the code base (a couple of hundred lines of Kotlin) in
| a few minutes and get a feel for what it does. We had some fun
| trying to get the tool to improve itself during the meetup. It
| worked pretty well.
|
| Probably, the most complex thing of the whole code base is the
| system prompt used to orchestrate the whole thing. That looks
| like some thought went into it and there are probably a few
| gotchas that are yet to be addressed. But even that is doable.
| A determined person could probably replicate what this does in
| a day or so from scratch. Probably a lot faster if you use one
| of these tools to build the next one. This isn't rocket
| science.
|
| I'm guessing we'll be seeing a lot of tools like this in the
| next few months. It will be interesting to see what refinements
| people come up with. I think most of the innovation is going to
| be in giving these agents better/smarter tools to work with.
| For example, there's a lot of stuff encapsulated in IDEs that
| it probably a lot easier to use than trying to do the same
| thing with random cli commands.
