Solomon Hykes, the founder of Docker, said that he may have created an open-source alternative to Anthropic’s Claude Code as a part of Dagger, an open-source runtime for composable workflows. With Dagger’s new module system, one can integrate agentic features into an application as modular components. It lets developers use Dagger as a runtime and programming environment for AI agents, mimicking what Claude Code helps you do. Claude Code is an agentic coding tool by Anthropic that was launched along with Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
