So, how are people actually using Pi? Here I am with Claude Code and Codex in a terminal like a caveman.

  I believe this is the popular "batteries included" kit: <a href="https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi

    This harness also burns a lot more tokens than Pi, which sort of kills the minimal philosophy/system prompt that Pi came from.

    Pi with extensions included is always going to burn more tokens than pi without extensions, no?

    Not if the extensions don't add any tools or modify your system prompt. :)
    Hell, some extensions could theoretically lower your token burn. (Like rtk, if it actually worked.)

    What's the use of extensions without tools or prompts?

    The coffee prevents you from falling asleep at the wheel and crashing, however.

    If you're that tired that you need coffee to stay awake, you absolutely shouldn't be driving.

    But people drive, and given enough coffee it's safe.
    But you want to forbid those people from driving.
    Do you work for Anthropic?
