Telemetry is on unless you turn it off, and no test workflow was found in the repository.\n\n**T3 Code.** A fast-moving open-source way to run and steer several coding agents from desktop, browser or phone, using the subscriptions you already have. It's pre-1.0, and it sends usage data by default, including hashed identifiers for your OpenAI and Claude accounts, with the opt-out documented outside the README.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Emdash\n\n1. Launch with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false if you don't want telemetry\n2. Use the SSH mode to keep agents on a remote machine\n\n### T3 Code\n\n1. Set T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false before starting the server if you don't want usage events sent\n2. Install and log in to at least one provider CLI first, such as codex login or claude auth login\n3. Use a managed policy to fix settings across a team\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Emdash or T3 Code?\n\nEmdash scores 53.9 (D) on agent readiness against T3 Code's 51.9 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. T3 Code leads on agent ergonomics and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Are Emdash and T3 Code open source?\n\nYes. Emdash is open source (Apache-2.0). T3 Code is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/emdash-vs-t3-code.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/emdash-vs-t3-code.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"emdash\", \"b\": \"t3-code\"}`.
