Is pi a drop in replacement for OpenCode / Claude Code? I cannot be bothered installing 50 million plugins.

It is not.

Their approach is minimalism. If you need something pi doesn’t have, the recommendation is to ask pi about it and have it build an extension for you, or look for a plugin.

That said, try it. You may find you didn’t need everything in those ecosystems.

I also find the SDK really valuable. Being able embed a truly minimal agent wherever you can run node/typescript is very powerful. Any model, any provider, full control over what it’s doing.

Not a shill.. I just really like pi.

You said it!

oh-my-pi is but it's kind of overwhelming
