1Code uses the official Claude Code SDK (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview) which wraps the Claude Code binary. This is the official way to build on top of Claude Code.
Some other tools (like OpenCode) made direct API calls while impersonating Claude Code - that approach got banned. We're not doing that.

Can you expand on this further? You’re using a sandbox to “spoof” authentication by intercepting the auth token to a web browser? You use the agent-sdk which is fine but youre supposed to ONLY use that via api I thought?

Ah, I see. My only other caveat (other models/agents) is addressed in upcoming work to do. Otherwise, looks good, simple/straightforward UI, functional. Great work overall.
>Yes, 1Code works with your Claude Pro or Max subscription. Sign in with your Anthropic account and use your existing subscription. We charge separately for the 1Code app.
Is this even after the recent events; Anthropic banning 3rd-party access to the Claude Pro/Max subscriptions and only allowing API access? Tool is nice but most certainly not* 800$ nice.
*Based on heavy Claude Max users here, the people that will be running 3-4 agents, saying API would've cost them $1k+.
