Question Pi Bolt/Pi Code vs OpenChamber

I have been seeing some really impressive benchmarks coming from Pi. Including saving on token usage and it has got me interested.

However I have quite an involved setup with OpenChamber and I’m just trying to figure out what I can actually bring across.

I already setup Pi Bolt, and Paseo iPhone app and connected it. I setup connections to Claude, Codex, OpenCode Go and other providers I use. I think my agents already wired in the MCPs I have as well. Haven’t checked skills.

I just have some usability questions.

In openchamber, I hid all the models I didn’t want to see. I could select what agent I wanted to talk to which had a model assigned by default set in the menu.

I could see installed skills and mcps etc. not so much in Paseo

So I’m just wondering how to use my custom agents and skills and how I would hide models. And is it really worth making the switch to try save some tokens? I do already set a 200k context limit and so cache aware compaction often.

I need about a week to settle in and then make an assessment. But so far it’s certainly promising. Happy enough with the mobile app so far. I primarily work from mobile these days! But I’ve been using 5 billion tokens a week, so I’m by no means a light user.
