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

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Hive | 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 | 5.0 | 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 | 5.8 | 5.5 | Hive — Coordination is implemented through the filesystem: a team command injected into every agent shell, and a shared markdown task graph at a fixed path in the workspace. |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 4.8 | Hive — 497 stars around a wrapper over six other vendors' command-line agents: the coordination is the product, and coordination is the layer with the shortest half-life. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 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 | 6.0 | 5.8 | Hive — It went from Apache-2.0 to BUSL-1.1 at an alpha release, so what I install now is source-available with a five-year wait before the licence becomes an open one. |
