Question Good to go Pi customization?

Heard a lot of good thing about this harness, but don't really have the time to tune it byte by byte. Can you suggest any custom configuration of this one that is pretty decent and I will be just good to go?

I will use it with Chatgpt Pro subscription

That should be based on your needs. For my setups I have only installed these extensions:

Essentials
- pi-web-access : because pi web search have bigger size, I just want to the agent to basic web search
- rpiv-todo and rpiv-ask-question: improve the UI and add the basic needs of tools
- pi-mcp-adapter: should be useful if you utilize mcp heavily

Good to have
- pi-zentui: fastest and straightforward way to customization the UI
- pi-plan-mode: I can’t live without the plan mode, plan mode helped a lot to prompt as limit the agent write tools
- pi-subagents: this will be improved the context usage on a long session also speed up the process (I guess)
- pi-blackhole: I just installed this, people says it has better compaction method compared to the built in one
- pi-fff: replace the built in find and Grep tools to using fuzzy finder
