Looked at your tool several times, but haven't answered this question for myself: does this tool fundamentally use the Anthropic API (not the normal MAX billing)? Presuming you built around the SDK -- haven't figured out if it is possible to use the SDK, but use the normal account billing (instead of hitting the API).

Love the idea by the way! We do need new IDE features which are centered around switching between Git worktrees and managing multiple active agents per worktree.

Edit: oh, do you invoke normal CC within your tool to avoid this issue and then post-process?

Claude code has an SDK, where you specify the path to the CC executable. So I believe thats how this works. Once you have set up claude code in your environment and authed with however you like, this will just use that executable in a new UI
Interesting, the docs for auth don't mention it: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/sdk#authentic...

Surprised that this works, but useful if true.

Thanks for showing!
