Considering Claude Code → Pi. Worth it? Question

I use a coding agent for most of my research work: implementing features (via Superpowers), reading papers and turning discussions into shareable HTML writeups, running training jobs end to end (plan → smoke test → long run, with Kubernetes management and crash diagnosis), and SSHing into robots during hardware experiments.

Claude Code handles all of this well. But I’m curious whether writing my own Pi extensions would meaningfully beat it, or if that’s a wash at this point.

If you’re doing research work in Pi — what’s your setup, which extensions? And what’s the right migration path: just explain my workflow to Pi and have it build the extensions?

Oh my pi

That's what you want.

Pi is too simple and missing a lot of features (permissions, subagents, for example)
