Problem Statement

I don't think Anthropic understands the harm they're causing by preventing Claude MAX subscriptions from working in OpenCode.

My use-case is using OpenCode with Claude for legal and advocacy work. I am working to enforce the laws that protect disabled Medicaid recipients, which when enforced will exert a potent systems-wide regulatory effect leading to transformative reform throughout the entire healthcare system (defendthedisabled.org).

If Anthropic truly wants AI to help improve the world, it's use-cases like mine they should be helping.

OpenCode is necessary for my work, as it allows me to develop features and fixes for non-coding workflows specific to my use-case needs. It lets me develop tools and frameworks that enable people to use AI to defend the rights of the disabled and vulnerable. My agentic workflow requires using multiple AI models; it breaks when limited to only Anthropic and breaks when Anthropic models are absent.

NO ONE is helping disabled Medicaid recipients with these issues. AI is the first time, the only time in the past ten years I have had meaningful help. The first time I had any hope that I could enforce the laws protecting the disabled so that I could get the rehabilitative care that by law I'm entitled to. That I can stop the years of physical and psychological torture I have been, am being, subjected to. That finally, people with disabilities will have human rights because those that violate them get held to account.

I am not a person prone to exaggeration. I am one who is hyper rational and prone to understatement as I need substantive data to form the conclusive opinions necessary to make strong statements.

OpenCode with Claude was the first time I saw a solution to my needs. It lets me build and use agentic workflows that can effectively connect to my data and help me build both my case and the tools I need (e.g. data systems, scripts, apps). I found an AI harness that could help me radically improve millions of lives and the whole of society. I can fix Medicaid and improve the healthcare system. Two safety nets people will desperately need to work as AI creates job loss and economic turmoil.

Whatever the rationale is that Anthropic has to prevent Claude MAX from working seamlessly with OpenCode, it can't be worth sabotaging my efforts to defend the disabled.

I ask that Anthropic do more than permit Claude MAX to be functional in OpenCode. I ask Anthropic to actively support the OpenCode project and help Defend The Disabled.

Proposed Solution

Allow OAuth support of Claude Pro/MAX in OpenCode.

Generally support the development of OpenCode.

Consider getting directly involved in helping people like me use AI to improve society.
