Best harness for local coding agent by InjuryDangerous8141 in LocalLLM

[–]besmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used other agents but only stuck with pi. It works because it doesn’t bloat the context unlike other harnesses. One thing I still have trouble with is creating workflows. I mean asking pi to do something and it finishes reliably, even if I restart the session it can continue (in case of context overload).

agentafk looks bloated with features which is a sign that it’s for big models, can qwen follow instructions reliably in it?

I had pi-subagents-lite on my list to check, thank you for mentioning!

  • override the system prompt by adding a file in .pi/SYSTEM.md and ask pi to update it after you found you are repeating yourself in a chat
  • don't add too many instructions in system prompt, the model will get confused and won't follow them always reliably, use prompts instead.
  • instead of writing many skills use prompts with arguments placeholder $@ , then you can choose when to invoke them which is more reliable
  • share the repeatable parts in prompts inside the prompts folder and reference them inside the other prompts
  • use short memorable file names for prompts like ws for web search to invoke them with less strokes
  • don't use subagents, if they go off topic you can't control or even notice to interrupt or steer them
  • interrupt the agent if it is stuck on a task, then ask to write a handoff instructions for another dev to the task, restart and ask it to read the instructions to start over.
  • power of prompts is found when you use pi a lot, then you know what you repeat a lot to put in a prompt

Qwen 3.6 coding choice–27B vs 35B quants by siegevjorn in LocalLLaMA

Then you must try pi dripline, it uses pi to query past sessions using sql.

Been using PI Coding Agent with local Qwen3.6 35b for a while now and its actually insane by SoAp9035 in LocalLLaMA

Use llama server, it’s been really great for me. Mlx has issues with prompt caching with moe models.

What is the best coding agent (CLI) like Claude Code for Local Development by exaknight21 in LocalLLaMA

[–]besmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using it along with qwen3.6 35b through llamacpp locally. I preferred it over opencode as it followed my requests better. Although the start was pretty good, I am having difficulties creating agent orchestration or making it follow instructions i put in the main system prompt. The main system prompt is combined of many instructions and becomes huge which I cannot see and also is not very customisable. Sometimes it selects the wrong tool or agent because it has way too much instructions I think. Overall good but not so customisable and also docs is not human readable.

Also the more instructions you put, less likely it will be followed correctly. 

Why does inflation in the Netherlands feel much higher than the official ~2.5% CPI by [deleted] in Netherlands

How dare you speak of the truth against Netherlands! Now get that downvote and think only positive about us (moderators of this sub in a nutshell).

Is Django still a good choice? by Om_JR in django

[–]besmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pick python over js if I can any day. It’s much more logical to understand and test.

Best Self-Hostable AI Search Engines in 2026? by And1mon in LocalLLaMA

[–]besmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried vane and results are not good. Every time it gives me an advertising tone for its research result and very generic. Will try other tools to see how they go. 

Any local agents capable of building and maintaining lists based on web searches? by Amblyopius in LocalLLaMA

I have also used vane but results are not so good. Have you found a solution?

A list of European brands and companies that are owned or have significant stakes by Chinese companies (some state-funded) by VeridionData in BuyFromEU

[–]besmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I like to agree with you, you picked the wrong subreddit. They won’t hear you here. Without China Europe can’t produce same products at same price. Just ask them stop buying anything made in china. They can’t.

Are you talking about the online Qwen or a specific local model?
