Claude Code is an interactive coding assistant. Viba is an automation runtime. You wouldn't use Claude Code to run a cron job at 3am or watch a directory for new files.
Viba compiles your intent into a persistent and versioned workflow that runs unattended with triggers, retries, and history... more like a local first, AI-configured n8n than a coding agent.
The question everyone is wondering, "Why not just use Claude Code?"

I wouldn't use anything besides cron to do that. The point is I can ask Ai to write that for me, looks exactly like your example.
