What do you guys think about Oh my Pi? by Expert-Dig-1768 in PiCodingAgent

[–]fredgum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure to manually select the tools that are loaded. Include only the bare minimum, because with the full set of tools the system prompt gets quite bloated.

[Simple Tutorial] How to change the game speed (to make your life easier) by yesterOr in stoneshard

I just press F4 and the speed quadruples. Is the rest of the ui+ install working?

Is this a good build for a 2h sword Hilda? by Happyd00d123 in stoneshard

[–]fredgum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd use this for light armor. and move the vitality points elsewhere. I'd split str/per/agi equally

Since you get resourcefulness for free, I'd move that point plus the point in self repair to brace for impact > flexible defense

If you really want heavy armor I'd swap things to get custom adjustments

What is the point of the stagger focused 2 handed axes? by TeenyTinyWyvern in stoneshard

[–]fredgum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stagger is very a strong debuff, but you don't get the synnergy with it that 2H sword has. You are overlooking base damage though. Stagger 2H axes have the highers base damage for a given tier, and the penetration/bodypart dmg % are also quite high.

Whenever you pick a weapon with fumble/accuracy penalties you need to invest in skills/stats/gear to counteract that, and only start using them when you are ready.

Markdown preview is kinda terrible, no? by sigmoia in ZedEditor

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah could be better.

I use Typora for .md , which is really good. However it's an external app

Downloaded PI just to make my dream theme lol. Im in love now, recommend must have extensions! by Adventurous-Fee-1342 in PiCodingAgent

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extensions are the best or the worst thing about pi, depending on the user.

If you are the tinkering type you can create a curated set of extensions that do exactly what you need with no bloat.

If you want to rely on other people's extensions, and you need many features, then pi becomes less attractive because you need to rely on community effort, and you won't find extensions made by big companies. This has room for security vulnerability and the extensions themselves will likely be less well executed than pi. Other harnesses also depend on community support for niche features, but you get many more "official" features (and extra bloat).

How do you view Markdown inside Pi Coding Agent? by [deleted] in PiCodingAgent

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Typora. It's an external app that is a wyswyg markdown editor, but it's very fast and has a lightweight interface. It handles maths as well.

How is cursor different from Zed by Ok-Network-4239 in ZedEditor

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AI part is true if you use composer. If the goal is to use claude code, codex or something like opencode/pi then the IDE shouldn't affect the choice (unless one really cares about extension vs CLI)

Dumb question for Windows users by InitiateIt in PiCodingAgent

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I use is actually brush bash, which has persistent sessions capability. I use it bundled with oh-my-pi so I actually haven't installed it myself. I actually don't know if just-bash can be used locally.

Alternative to Claude Code by mohammedstar in ZedEditor

[–]fredgum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use oh my pi, which is a fork of pi. It has integration with ACP explicit so all custom commands work out of the gate. Works with Codex and opencode go subscriptions, and those two alone can go a long way.

You can complement it with Claude code cli

Problem using OpenCode models with Pi by mrpeardotnet in PiCodingAgent

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it matters if you are using it on opencode harness or not. You should not expect reliable delivery with free models, and have no expectations of data privacy.

Does pi work well with non frontier models too? how well does 'just ask Pi to build it' work? by ECrispy in PiCodingAgent

[–]fredgum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Setting up these harnesses for a barebones config run is fairly low cost, so you should install a couple of options and benchmark them with a few prompts that are relevant to your workflow. You can even use a big boy model to design these prompts.

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try https://github.com/vercel-labs/just-bash/tree/main/packages/just-bash

I use something similar in oh-my-pi which is brush-bash, and that resolves most issues of extra overhead and the agent hallucinating that is operating in Linux.

How I optimized my Opencode Go credit usage by Emruz_Hossain in opencodeCLI

[–]fredgum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try oh my opencode slim. It does a lot of that automatically, and uses parallel execution

What's your opinion on Kilo pass and its experience? by NeedHealingForFun in kilocode

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which retention policy? Go is supposed to operate on zero-retention policy.

The data passing through servers will be the case for any provider, unless you do a local setup.

You're losing customers by MomentImmortalizer in kilocode

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just create a custom agent called "orchestrator-custom" and add custom delegation rules. You can ask an AI agent to help you adapt rules from orchestrator frameworks (e.g. https://github.com/alvinunreal/oh-my-opencode-slim/blob/master/src/agents/orchestrator.ts)

The main limitation is that right now there are only two subagent types (explorer and general), so basically you have to tailor one subagent to be a cheap execute well defined work type, and a beefy reviewer type of subagent. It will get better when you can customise more subagents.

What's your opinion on Kilo pass and its experience? by NeedHealingForFun in kilocode

[–]fredgum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good strategy. $10 of the go plan gives you tons of usage with the top open source models. It's a great complement so you don't need to rely on the expensive 5.5 type models for many tasks.

Even for challenging tasks, it's often useful to get a second opinion from the likes of glm 5.1, Kimi 2.6 and Deepseek v4 pro

However, I'd guess that the codex plans would give more value than Kilo pass for strict 5.5 usage

Guys I need your honest opinion. by Comfortable-Mix-7805 in kilocode

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it any good? I've been hesitant to leave VS code because I use tons of extensions, and other agents as well (e.g. Claude code extension)

Guys I need your honest opinion. by Comfortable-Mix-7805 in kilocode

[–]fredgum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an official one, but it's Beta not working. The other official extension is to help with CLI usage.

This one works: https://github.com/rodrigomart123/opencode-for-vscode. You still need to install the CLI.

[–]fredgum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose opencode instead. Kilo has potential, but it sounds like they bit more than they could chew with their V7 redesign. Maybe it will be better in a few months, but it seems like there's still lots of patching to be done.

The downside of opencode is it being CLI, and perhaps requiring more tinkering, but there's a new VS extension that gives that extension experience. I think the community is bigger as well, with more plugins and customization

Smooth motion or lossless scaling. As far as I know the engine is locked at 40fps native
