I was using Claude Pro + Claude Code pretty heavily (terminal workflow, file access, etc.) and my account just got banned with zero explanation.

From what I’m seeing, this isn’t that uncommon — people getting flagged without clear reasons or support responses — so I’m trying to move on and rebuild my setup.

What I’m looking for is something that actually matches BOTH sides of what Claude gave me:

1. Claude-level reasoning / writing

• strong long-form thinking
• structured outputs (planning, creative work, etc.)

2. Claude Code-style workflow

• terminal / CLI interaction
• ability to work with local files or repos
• feels like an “agent” that can execute tasks, not just chat

I’ve tried ChatGPT (even the $20 Plus + Codex), and while it’s good, it doesn’t have the same feel or workflow — especially on the terminal / agent side.

My actual use case:

• lesson planning + building slides/materials (high school teaching)
• content creation + branding (IG, captions, concepts)
• DJ + music workflow (set planning, ideas, organization)
• working out of an Obsidian vault synced via GitHub
• occasionally generating visuals (images, HTML mockups) and analyzing screenshots

Ideally also:

• works with an Obsidian vault or local knowledge base
• stable (no sketchy plugins or risk of getting banned again)
• okay with paid tools (\~$20/mo range)

For people who were actually using Claude + Claude Code:
what are you using now that comes closest in real workflows?

Not looking for theoretical answers, more interested in setups you’re actually using day-to-day.
