I tried OpenCode but didn't particular like it as a Claude Code user, that is the main reason I switched to Pi. The reason I am sticking is how simple it is to extend it. I moved from Claude Code to Pi and within 2 hours (and the help of Claude Code) I have a setup that matches Claude Code and is even better for my setup.

Things I've added:

1. Built my own AI judge for 'auto' mode that matches my setup.

2. /plan /go for planning and executing.

3. /flow for A-Z setups. That includes planning, executing, testing and shipping.

4. /deep-research a multi fan-out setup for researching a topic.

5. My own sub agents.

6. A TaskCreate/Update/List setup.

7. Monitors.

8. BashOutput / KillShell.

9. Proper notifications with Notify that uses macOS banner and work.

10. Spawn tool that triggers multiple sub agents.

11. A bridge between signal to use Pi remotely.

Yes a lot of these things is something that was already in Claude Code but now I don't have to use Claude Code and I can customize it to fit me exactly.
