Pi Setup that pretty much replaced Claude Code for me

I've been using Pi with Qwen3.6-27B a lot as my daily driver for more than a month and this setup almost replaced Codex/CC for me entirely. I use it with the advisor extension, with the advisor usually being GPT-5.5 and it has been great for me so far.

I sometimes use OpenCode too but I keep coming back to this setup especially for local models.

• Support for seamlessly onboarding local models
• Custom footer that shows token usage, cost and inference speed
• 10 themes
• Many useful+cosmetic extensions
• Context breakdown command similar to claudecode
• Configurable permission system
• Few custom skills and some useful publicly available skills
• Sync/backup script for easy setup anywhere

Hope you find this useful. If you have any ideas to improve I'd love to hear.
