Use the Claude Agent SDK with Your Claude Plan (opens in new tab)

You chose the wrong title for HN imo. We deserve clarity and this messaging / echoing anthropic PR strategy isnt it.

Instead:

- Your subscription no longer covers `claude -p` or agent sdk

This isn’t great but with how much they subsidize the max subscriptions it’s also not shocking.

On the bright side, at least we finally have some clear communication around using the agents SDK. I wonder if this in turn will cause more people to build custom agents on top of the SDK or if more people will move off it completely.

On the plus side it is fun to use agents with my subscription, on the downside i really really like using Claude Code via ACP is Zed and now this is nerfed.

These seem like not the same thing and it seems silly to bill them the same way but differently than using the CLI or official app.

You can no longer use your Claude subscription with apps that use the Claude Agent SDK, e.g. claude -p, Conductor, T3code, etc.

Yet another developer hostile decision.

(Not that I don't blame them)
