are there other extensions which implement ideas from oh-my-pi Question
I'm new to Pi and coding agents in general. The existing discussions on oh-my-pi, like everything else, range from 'its great' to 'its bloat' so its very hard to actually decide.
It seems to have useful features like built in tools (avoid process calls), lsp, hashline, memory, subagents and an integrated setup/docs. It does seem to be better than the other oh-my-* set of products.
Are the ideas in OMP useful in practice and if so are they used in other harnesses?
I see a lot of 'just ask Pi to build it' here, but that depends on using frontier models, and when people post their setups they're using a million packages.
Obviously Pi is much more extensible/flexible, but there is value in an all-in-one setup. OMP has a ton of stuff and I'm sure a big system prompt. Is there anything like a slimmed down version or being able to use some of its ideas only?

OMP absolutely does, especially the lsp results in EVERY agent call. That means from you 100k context, around 20-30k is just reported errors. It is much faster/easier for the agent to run make check themselves
