Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.

80/100 · ship

End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.

45/100 · skip

Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.

80/100 · ship

Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.
