OpenCode vs Pi Coding Agent
OpenCode ships with 75+ LLM providers and a ready-to-run interface across terminal, desktop, and IDE. Pi Coding Agent starts minimal and grows through TypeScript skills, prompt templates, and themes you write yourself. The choice is between starting with everything and trimming, versus starting with nothing and building exactly what you need.
How to choose

Pick OpenCode if…
Pick this if you want a terminal coding agent that works on day one across multiple LLM providers without writing any configuration or extension code.
Pick Pi Coding Agent if…
Pick this if you want a thin, controllable foundation you extend in TypeScript, and you plan to define your own workflows, skills, and prompt templates rather than inherit someone else's.
