After several weeks of experimentation and trial and error, the Pi Agent configuration has finally stabilized. I previously posted a list without explanations, which wasn’t very user-friendly, so this time I’m sharing the full version with annotations.
Pro tip: If you need a coding agent that works out of the box, don’t use Pi—Claude Code/Codex is a better fit for you. https://t.co/PfE1mV32gL
