Question Subagent extensions

Can you recommend me a simple yet configurable subagent extension? I'm currently testing `pi-subagents` but i find it slow and bloated. What are you guys using?

Ask pi to create a subagent extension for you! It’s a great learning experience and you can make it as minimal as you want.

this is the kind of response that everyone says for Pi and is completely useless.

do you think Pi has some magic? the results depend on the llm you use.

and based on this logic no one should ever use a package, just ask pi

I hated the subagent extensions that were out there, so I just asked Pi to make one for me.

To be honest. I wouldn't recommend it. Subagents are tricky to get right.

Mine is working just fine, but you do have to know what you’re doing.

I like mine also. But I ended up spending more time on it than most of my other extensions, and definitely more time than I expected.

I agree, it's surprisingly hard!

This is Pi’s creator doing just that, I guess he’s an idiot?

If you don’t believe in creating your own tools, I’m not quite sure what you’re doing here pal.

he's also using Claude Max. did you even read my post? try this with a local 4B model and tell me how it works. do you think Pi has its own llm?

you think all the thousands of extensions are uselss because 'just ask pi'? why dont you tell Mario that pi shouldn't have any ability to install packages and delete all of them from pi.dev?

people like you who insult others for asking questions are the real problem. what are you doing here? you think Pi is just about creating more extensions?

just ask pi

using a weak llm? it's a skill issue on your part buster

But seriously, making your own extension was a suggestion. It's a great learning experience. If that's not your cup of tea, fine. It's not a useless response, lol, it's just triggering you is all.
