| Need | Framework | Why |
|---|---|---|
| UI from prompts | v0 | Fastest path from wireframe to component |
| Full repo coding | Claude Code | Autonomous agent with full context |
| Context-aware editing | Cursor | Native IDE integration |
| Crypto agents | ARC RIG | Rust-native, Solana-optimized |
| Social AI agents | ElizaOS | Multi-platform, plugin ecosystem |
| No framework | Direct API | Fewest abstractions, maximum control |
