Hey everyone - for anyone holding off on Claude Code because of the $20/mo sub or API costs, one of our Lab instructors (Andy) ran a full workshop on exactly this.
You keep the entire agentic framework. Only one line in the config changes - points to a free OpenRouter model instead of Anthropic.
What stays the same:
- Autonomous coding loop
- - File reading and writing
- - Multi-step reasoning
- - Claude Code skills
