Preconfigured PI: https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi

This looks great but It feels really risky to add more and more tools to the harness from random repos. Nothing against this repo in particular but I wish we had better security and isolation so I that I knew nothing could go wrong and I could just test a bunch of these every day the same way I can install an app on my phone and feel confident it's not going to steal my data.

I test a bunch of these every day too, so I made a local sandbox to jail all TUI clunkers to $CWD and run all of them in —-yolo mode https://agent-safehouse.dev/

Big fan of this fork, been using it for everything for the last couple of weeks.

Went from codex/claude code -> opencode -> pi -> oh-my-pi

I'd quite like the web tools from oh-my-pi, but able to be extracted to a normal pi tool or plugin... Maybe I should look into that sometime...

It is an awesome fork! Tried to contribute also, but community seems quite close knit.

I feel like this misses the point of pi somewhat. The allure of pi is that it allows you to start from scratch and make it entirely your own; that it’s lightweight and uses only what you need. I go through the list of features in this and I think, okay, cool, but why should I use this over OpenCode if I just want a feature-packed (and honestly -bloated) ready-made harness?

It's just better opencode while still being lightweight I don't know what else to say.

It's just an opinionated fork, either you like it or you don't. I personally really like it.

Why not OpenCode?

Oh-my-bloat.

I am still an avid user of opencode, my own fork though with async tools etc, but it is cumbersome and tries to do too many things.

very interesting, i tried it at the start but haven't come back. could you expand on what you mean?
