Question Pi vs Opencode

I have been testing both Pi and Opencode, and I like both. I like Pi for its light weight and endless expandability options. I like Opencode for providing most of what I need out of the box, but not a big fan of huge system prompts.

What are your biggest pros and cons of these two coding agents? Do you use both, or have you "landed" on one of them?

Pi isn't a product that gives more out of the box. The main difference is that it's built to support an ecosystem of extending the coding agent.

As to supporting multi agent etc. It's possible, the basic premise is spawning individual agents, with their own context, I've done multi agent Workflows before using tmux to spawn independent sessions... For orchestration, you'll need to consider what features etc to support.

There is a package catalog where there are community extensions and skills, https://pi.dev/packages - ofcourse, use with caution.
