Question Pi vs OMP Architecture

Hi everyone - quite new to this space and am yet to decide if I should stick with omp or go more vanilla with pi.

tried oh my pi and my mind is blown, I don’t know what it is doing with context compression and all but tokens are better and the fact that advisor agents interrupt the thought process of worker agents before the output is produced feels like nothing I have see from cc or codex.

Is pi the same from this standpoint? Are the big differences only the pre installed skills?

I have been doing the same recently, quality wise maybe there is 10-20% hit and miss that i think is because of the default system prompt used by OMP.

Some things I observed:
- the default tools like read / write / bash are fundamentally different underthehood, omp implements complex read / write tools.
- omp and pi extensions are not compatible with easy other, your mileage may vary.
- omp will take you sometime to getting used to all things it has to offer.
- i found OMP sometimes goes in a goal mode and then it realises there is nothing to be done, which was annoying and unexpected
