Switching an agent harness is more difficult, especially on the enterprise/teams level.

Once your team gets settled with Claude teams, cowork, and the various plugins, it’s going to be a pain in the butt to switch.

Plugins and skills are completely trivial to move and most work with any model. What is not trivial are Anthropic's new managed agents vendor lock-in offering.

Is it? I switched to Kiro and it's essentially identical.. well a bit better because you get a better idea of what the harness is doing, but otherwise identical.

I should have clarified that it’s not difficult for technical workers to switch, but for your average knowledge worker…it’s not easy switching from Claude Cowork to Codex. I don’t think the switch from Cowork to open source is easy.

[Shorel]

I made my own. It's true I don't want to switch to another harness now.

But switching models is just a command.

The irony is that Claude will help you migrate away from itself

AI is possibly the first product in history that will eagerly help you replace it with one of its competitors.

Wait till they will pop a warning: “using Claude to migrate away will suspend your account. “

Or even better just silently sabotage the migration so you can’t do it. Something we can definitively expect from Claude given past behavior
