i wrote the blog post and i also wrote pi.dev. i haven't written much code myself in the past 12 months. i'm not making coding agents out to be the problem. the entire last section keeps is basically "use a clanker for this and that".
i'm making specific usage pattersn out to be the problem, and explain why those patterns can't work due to the way agents work.
i'm not a member of openclaw.
i build some oss in parallel, and added 3 or so commits to the openclaw repo. and peter is taking some of the openclaw contributors with him.
peter's claw is a lot more than just a wrapper around my slop.
i too had plenty of offers, but so far chose not to follow through with any of them, as i like my life as is.
also, peter is a good friend and gives plenty of credit. in fact, less credit would be nice, so i don't have to endure more vibeslopped issues and PRs going forward :)
FWIW, you can use subscriptions with pi. OpenAI has blessed pi allowing users to use their GPT subscriptions. Same holds for other providers, except Flicker Company.
And I'm personally very happy that Peter's project gets all the hype. The pi repo already gets enough vibesloped PRs from openclaw users as is, and its still only 1/100th of what the openclaw repository has to suffer through.
There are lots of ways of doing subagents. It mostly depends on your workflow. That's why pi doesn't ship with anything built in. It's pretty simple to write an extension to do that.
Neat. Any reason why the MCP server doesn't expose a JavaScript/eval tool? Current models excel at writing JS to drive and inspect the DOM. They aren't great at driving browsers via screenshots.
Create a markdown file, for each SKILL.md of the skills you want to use, put the frontmatter in that single markdown file along with the fulk path to the SKILL.md file. On session start, tell Gemini to read that file. If you put it in your AGENTS.md, you don't have to instruct Gemini. And if you have your skills in a known folder, let Gemini write a small scripts that generates that markdown file for you.
