Paddo's analysis argues Channels (texting agents via Telegram) is Anthropic absorbing a previously niche DIY pattern into the platform — the same move it made with /loop, worktrees, and hooks. When the platform internalizes a third-party pattern, custom integrations become dead weight. The "crab eats lobster" metaphor: the built-in always beats the bolt-on. If you're building a Claude Code integration today, check whether it's on Anthropic's absorption roadmap.
