## When NOT to use atmos

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use oh-my-openagent

- When your project is not reliant on AI integration or complex orchestration capabilities. For simpler codebases, its advanced features may be overkill.
- If your development environment does not support TypeScript or if you are exclusively working with Codex CLI and prefer a less integrated solution, opting for another tool could be more suitable since
