HELP: Can this crate replace the claude agent sdk

[hanxuanliang]

As the title, can the functionality of the current crate replace the claude agent sdk? Recently, I have been trying to build agents using rust and have learned about some features in the claude agent sdk (such as the latest skills feature). It is not certain whether the current crate can replace the claude agent sdk.

Hi there

As a framework Rig is quite low level and doesn't really have an opinion on how to wire things together, so there are some components from the Claude Agents SDK that you will need to probably write yourself. Caching and a number of other features are in the pipeline and just need to be implemented. However, Claude Agents SDK basically requires you to use the Anthropic models while Rig doesn't.

The only way to really figure out whether or not Rig meets your use case is to evaluate what the requirements are for the thing you're building. We can't really do that for you. However as far as the Rust ecosystem goes, if you want something like the Agents SDK you could probably just add feature requests for the things you want. We're pretty open to new features as long as they are not wildly out of scope (although skills, to me, just reads as "a pre-defined prompt" - so I'm not entirely convinced that adding claude skills to Rig would be doable).
