Choose cc-switch if…
- cc-switch is primarily Rust; agent-kit is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: hermes-agent, hermes, codex, desktop-app.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 686) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use cc-switch
- 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.
Choose agent-kit if…
- agent-kit is primarily JavaScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- Tags unique to agent-kit: email, keyid, model-context-protocol, claude.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).
When NOT to use agent-kit
- Last GitHub push was 121 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 13, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on agent-kit.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
