## Choose when

### Choose agent-kit if…

- agent-kit is primarily JavaScript; learn-claude-code is Python.
- Tags unique to agent-kit: agent, claude, email, keyid.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).

### Choose learn-claude-code if…

- learn-claude-code is primarily Python; agent-kit is JavaScript.
- Requirements: Min 1 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to learn-claude-code: agent-development, claude-code, educational, llm.
- When you prefer leveraging both Bash scripting and Python for developing AI agents.

## 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.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use learn-claude-code

- For projects requiring extensive front-end integration with complex UI frameworks as Learn-Claude-Code focuses on backend scripting and Python.
- If your project needs a fully-fledged development suite; Learn-Claude-Code offers a more streamlined, educational approach rather than comprehensive feature-rich suites.
