I love Claude Code for interactive development, but there’s a category of work it doesn’t handle well: longrunning, multistep automation that needs to be repeatable and resumable. Karis CLI fills that gap for me. The 3 layer architecture (runtime tools > orchestration > task management) is designed for exactly this. I write atomic tools (Python, no LLM) for the deterministic operations, and the agent layer coordinates them. The task layer keeps state so I can stop and resume Real example: updating API client libraries across 8 services. Claude Code would help me write the update logic, but Karis CLI handles the “run this across all repos, track which ones are done, handle failures, open PRs” coordination. They’re complementary. Claude Code for writing code, Karis CLI for running it reliably at scale. submitted by /u/Larry_Potter_
