Choose ai-toolkit if…
- Tags unique to ai-toolkit: agent-skills, ai, testing, cypress.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).
When NOT to use ai-toolkit
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
Choose cc-switch if…
- Tags unique to cc-switch: hermes-agent, hermes, codex, desktop-app.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 36) - visibility, not fit.
