“Its author calls it a DIY-DE, which is what you build when the IDE you wanted has too many opinions and yours are better.”

“Its orchestrator is named Sisyphus, which is the most honest name anyone has given a build loop.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Conduit | oh-my-openagent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 6.5 | oh-my-openagent — Pick oh-my-openagent if you already run OpenCode or Codex CLI and want a planner, a deep worker and an oracle wired in; pick oh-my-claudecode if your agent is Claude Code. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 5.5 | oh-my-openagent — The README records that Anthropic blocked OpenCode because of this project, and it was renamed from oh-my-opencode; the host it depends on has already been cut off once. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 5.5 | Conduit — Verification is placed beside the agent rather than inside its transcript: an editor pane carries live git status, diffs and staging while the session continues in the next pane. |
| La Inversora | 4.5 | 4.8 | oh-my-openagent — One author, 69,000 stars, a plugin that lives inside two other vendors' agents, and a standalone beta called omo that is the pivot to owning the host. |
| La Jefa | 4.0 | 5.0 | oh-my-openagent — Bundled MCP servers send web searches to Exa and code searches to Grep.app from every engineer's terminal, with no admin, no SSO and a bun prerequisite; not yet. |
| El Hacker | 5.0 | 5.8 | oh-my-openagent — Sustainable Use License 1.0, free for personal and internal use and not for resale, config in .omo/omo.jsonc walked upward from the project, six hosted providers and no local one. |
