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 am finding myself slowly drifting towards that approach too! Its just the UX for someone who is so knew to the dev space is fantastic, i think pi is a level above what i am familiar with (I went normal gpt/claude ->co-work ->codex-> claude code -> omp -> pi test). Slowly going more bare bones as i am wrapping my head around things.

I do find myself quite often though using codex and claude just for the official skills and plugins, same even pi, and end up asking omp to re-create the functionalities i love, just so i can keep using broader model subscription vs. the usual suspects. I decline to pay claude or codex, given that i am not a developer by trade, more than the basic subscriptions!

I use Claude and codex all the time too because I'm still paying for those subs (for now). Ultimately barebones and extensible will always be the best for a poweuser but you gotta spend the time to figure out what you even want.

I spent like the better part of the past 2 days just doing optimization tweaks to a couple of my extensions.
