The Signature Flicker

Read Original

The article discusses how Anthropic resolved the signature flicker problem in Claude Code by rewriting its terminal renderer from scratch while keeping React. It compares this approach to other coding agents (like Amp, Gemini, OpenCode) that use alt-screen mode, analyzing the trade-offs between flicker-free rendering and preserving native terminal features like text selection and scrolling.
