TMA1 records every LLM call, then routes what it sees into the agent's next turn via hooks and MCP.. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose cc-switch over tma1? Choose cc-switch over tma1 when cc-switch is primarily Rust; tma1 is Go; License: cc-switch is MIT, tma1 is Apache-2.0; Tags unique to cc-switch: desktop-app, hermes-agent, minimax, openclaw; If you require seamless interaction with multiple AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI in a single interface. ### When should I choose tma1 over cc-switch? Choose tma1 over cc-switch when tma1 is primarily Go; cc-switch is Rust; License: tma1 is Apache-2.0, cc-switch is MIT; Tags unique to tma1: agent-loop, agent-observability, ai-agents, copilot-cli; Also covers LLM Frameworks. ### When should I avoid cc-switch? If you are looking for a web-based or mobile app; cc-switch is strictly desktop-focused. Requires manual curation of supported agents, limiting its utility if your primary agent is not included by default. You prioritize the use of proprietary tools over open-source solutions. ### When should I avoid tma1? 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. LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ### Is cc-switch or tma1 more popular on GitHub? cc-switch has more GitHub stars (115,863 vs 109). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are cc-switch and tma1 open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (cc-switch: MIT, tma1: Apache-2.0). ### Where can I find alternatives to cc-switch or tma1? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [cc-switch alternatives](/tools/farion1231-cc-switch/alternatives) and [tma1 alternatives](/tools/tma1-ai-tma1/alternatives) ([cc-switch markdown twin](/tools/farion1231-cc-switch/alternatives.md), [tma1 markdown twin](/tools/tma1-ai-tma1/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/farion1231-cc-switch-vs-tma1-ai-tma1.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, cc-switch or tma1? cc-switch: Very active. tma1: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for cc-switch and tma1? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [cc-switch trust report](/tools/farion1231-cc-switch/trust); [tma1 trust report](/tools/tma1-ai-tma1/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=farion1231-cc-switch`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=farion1231-cc-switch) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
