Rolling boulders, rolling eyes
Sisyphus Now Lives in Oh My Claude
Banned AI squad rises again — fans cheer, skeptics yell “just pay”
TLDR: A banned community tool returns as a squad of eleven helper bots inside Claude Code, promising relentless task completion. Commenters are split: some love the power, others say it’s pointless or unusable with paid plans, and many argue you should just buy direct access — the flame war burns bright.
Remember that “banned” DIY bot army? It’s back as Oh My Claude Sisyphus, a pack of eleven mini‑assistants that promise to grind through tasks until they’re done. Think: a team of specialized helper bots inside Claude Code, triggered by slash commands like /sisyphus and /ultrawork (aka “maximum hustle” mode). The dev crowd is buzzing, and the comments are pure theater.
Fans frame it like a comeback saga — “the banning” followed by resurrection — while skeptics roll their eyes. One camp says this removes the best thing about the older version: access to many AI models, not just one. Another shrugs: “Just pay for the API access,” meaning buy direct access to the service’s data pipe (Application Programming Interface) and stop hacking around. The practical folks ask if a multi-bot setup actually beats a solid developer at building clear, well‑defined features. And then there are the jokers: “You don’t need all this — just a bad idea and patience,” complete with mock‑sweary pep talks.
The silent auto‑update raised some eyebrows (no one loves stealth changes), but the drama sparkles around a bigger question: is a persistent bot squad the future of coding, or just a flashy Rube Goldberg machine? Either way, the boulder is rolling, and the comments are chasing it.
