“It ships a TodoWrite tool, so the agent can now maintain a list of things it has not done yet, exactly like everyone else.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Chidori | Spring AI AgentX | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.8 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 7.8 | 7.5 | Chidori — A recorded run replays byte-identically from the call log at zero token cost, which turns a checkpoint into an integration test that can live in version control. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.8 | Spring AI AgentX — 167 stars, one personal handle, and a position defined entirely by a large vendor's framework: useful, and structurally somebody else's feature. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 6.5 | Spring AI AgentX — Shell and file tools run in a container or a restricted directory with conversation-level isolation, and trace auditing is in the library rather than in a roadmap. |
| El Hacker | 7.5 | 7.3 | Chidori — Apache-2.0, a single binary with no runtime to install, and an environment variable points it at Ollama, vLLM or anything else speaking the common API. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
