Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Ogcode | Scream Code | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.5 | 5.3 | Ogcode — Pick this if your sessions die at the context limit and restarting is the worst part of your day; pick an established terminal agent if they rarely run that long. |
| El Crítico | 5.0 | 4.0 | Ogcode — Recalling only what looks relevant to the current turn means a constraint stated early is silently absent later, and nothing in the row tells you when that happened. |
| El Profesor | 5.0 | 5.3 | Scream Code — An independent judge agent evaluates the goal loop, which is separation of generation from assessment, though the judge shares the generator's failure modes. |
| La Inversora | 4.5 | 5.0 | Scream Code — Around fourteen hundred weekly package installs against 137 stars, from a single author with no company, no service and nothing charged for. |
| La Jefa | 4.5 | 4.3 | Ogcode — Free across sixty desks and invisible to every system I run: no console, no identity integration, no audit record, and nothing that executes without a person present. |
| El Hacker | 5.5 | 6.8 | Scream Code — MIT, more than 130 providers built in plus any compatible endpoint, and it speaks the tool protocol, so my servers attach without a wrapper. |
