Agent fleet cut to 6 daily-drivers + backstops

Kept

1. Claude Code — corp daily (Bedrock)
2. OpenCode — personal daily + CC fallback (OmniRoute free)
3. Kilo Code — VS Code (supersets Cline+Roo)
4. Codex CLI — ad-hoc OpenAI tasks
5. GH Copilot CLI — free backstop
6. Qwen Code CLI — long-context (1M ctx)

Dropped

• Cline — Kilo Code supersets it; running both = redundant sync target
• Antigravity — Gemini free tier rarely used
• Freebuff — No MCP, breaks fleet parity
• Hermes Agent — plugin-primary, not MCP; also autonomous infra service (:9119), not interactive CLI competitor

Clarifications

• OpenClaw = messaging-app AI (WhatsApp/Telegram), NOT coding agent → skip for coding
• Kilocline = NOT a real product, name conflates Cline/Roo/Kilo lineage → use Kilo

Routing

• Hard/architectural on corp → Claude Code
• Personal laptop → OpenCode
• Already in VS Code → Kilo Code
• Fallback: OpenCode → Kilo → GH Copilot → Qwen → Freebuff (last resort)
