I haven’t met a single person who has tried pi for a few days and not made it their daily driver. Once you taste the freedom of being able to set up your tool exactly how you like, there’s really no going back.
and you can build cool stuff on top of it too!

Didn't have to modify. OG Pi is made to be extended & used as a building block so closer to say I wrapped it
As for skills, yes and it's a virtual filesystem

I might do once I get local to a good spot. Should in theory be fine on web... but haven't tested/tried

opencode is great, but I'm a big pi fan - pi has a minimal core that is hackable+extensible by design and is aware of its own docs. So your coding agent can mod your coding agent exactly as you like.

generally been fine, adding some optimisations over wkd to increase.
Primary thing I want to fix = right now full tool results get passed direct into context so can overflow if using python on a large sheet

I’m building it
It’s got various things to clean up but the idea is to bring the spirit of pi (an OSS coding agent that can extend itself and gives you maximal freedom) to excel.
So it has things that claude for excel will never have - like tmux, the ability to use any model provider that works with pi, and of course extensions
built in lets you play snake while your agent works; I added some personal ones for slash commands, auto-pulling fx, ..
And nice touches like user and file agents.md
still quite a lot of work I need to juggle with my new job, but I’ve been using it all week with decent results
