Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | oh-my-claudecode | Ralph Orchestrator | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 5.8 | oh-my-claudecode — Pick oh-my-claudecode if you run Claude Code all day and want plan, PRD, execute, verify and fix as a pipeline with Codex and Gemini as second opinions; pick Ruflo if you want swarms. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 5.0 | oh-my-claudecode — Team mode needs CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1, an experimental flag in someone else's product, and the npm package is called oh-my-claude-sisyphus; the foundations are borrowed. |
| El Profesor | 5.0 | 5.5 | Ralph Orchestrator — Iterating an agent against a plan is best understood as a search procedure, and its cost scales with the number of attempts rather than with the difficulty of the task. |
| La Inversora | 4.8 | 5.5 | Ralph Orchestrator — One maintainer, a permissive licence and no revenue, wrapped around ten backends whose vendors could each absorb this feature in a sprint. |
| La Jefa | 5.0 | 4.8 | oh-my-claudecode — tmux for team mode, the Linux flock utility for named autopilot profiles, and stop notifications wired to Telegram, Discord and Slack; sixty configurations, no admin; not yet. |
| El Hacker | 7.0 | 7.3 | Ralph Orchestrator — MIT, a cargo install, and `ralph mcp serve` speaks the protocol over stdio scoped to a single workspace root, which is exactly the right scoping decision. |
