Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Agent Zero | KODE SDK | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.5 | Agent Zero — Pick Agent Zero when the job is driving real desktop applications; pick OpenHands when the job is a git repository and a test suite. |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 6.0 | Agent Zero — Every prompt, tool and config file is editable by design, and the agent has read and write access to the same files, so the rules it follows are inside its own blast radius. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 7.3 | KODE SDK — A run is checkpointed across seven declared stages with one designated safe fork point, which turns resumption from a best-effort retry into a specified operation. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 6.3 | KODE SDK — 398 stars, a permissive licence and a research-lab author: this is published infrastructure, which builds standing rather than revenue, and standing is not a business model. |
| La Jefa | 5.0 | 5.5 | KODE SDK — Nothing to license across sixty engineers, but execution happens in a third-party remote sandbox, which is a new vendor, a new questionnaire and a new place my code goes. |
| El Hacker | 8.0 | 7.5 | Agent Zero — MIT, one docker run with an a0_usr volume, LiteLLM in front of every provider, Ollama for local weights, and it works as an MCP client and an MCP server. |
