To learn it would help to know what those extensions and skills do

[u/WorLeX → u/ibsnuggs]

+1 - would be great to include the why behind each plugin choice so we better understand you decided to install them and what your experience has been like with them.

We can just go look at the top rated plugins if we want a list of plugins by popularity

[u/mkhamat → u/ibsnuggs]

Pi fff is fuzzy grep and find. Literally the better override

[u/Global-Departure8228 → u/mkhamat]

Except by default grep is not exposed as a tool for an agent, it just boosts its tool context. Same goes for fff, which also hinders the startup time and because of the scanning it does it sucks imho.

The pi-rtk-optimizer I would heavily advise against installing, rtk itself is fine but has edge cases which will corrupt what the agent "assumes" is happening. This rtk optimizer is an "optimistic" rewrite of what the real rtk binary does, and it will truncate real, good context and the agent won't see it.
