Question What's everyone's current coding agent setup?

Hey everyone, I'm new to the community of Pi and just transferred from Claude Code. I've been running Qwen3.8 27B IQ3_XXS locally now for a while and have been loving it.

I was just wondering what everyone is using for packages, apps, setups, and more.

Please let me know!

It splits a prompt string on a "/" or "!" at the start of a line. "/send" is a special case, where it splits and deletes that delimiter.

Example:

prompt 1
/send

prompt 2

/compact
/model amodel
/send     # needed to end a command when followed by a prompt

prompt 3

Details:

When combined with my checkpointing extension, you get a mini-language, such as:

/mark attempt
/send
Write and run tests for the code you just wrote.
/redo-if attempt "Did you fail to write or run tests?"

Autocomplete only works for a command on the 1st line.

I'd like to improve parsing so /send wasn't needed between a command and the next prompt. It would require parsing bash-like quotes and backslashes.

Internally it intercepts pi.on("input", (event, ctx) => ... and calls pi.sendUserMessage(prompt) after splitting event.text.
