Series Understand AgentKit through visual explanations · Part 5Pi is a minimal coding agent: four default tools, and no subagents, plan mode or per-tool-call approval in the core. Criteria for deciding whether to use Pi, and how it differs from Oh-my-pi (OMP) and Claude Code.
Series Inside Pi · Part 1 of 2Install Pi, decide on project trust, sign in to a model, hand it a small task in your repo and resume the session the next day. Each step has a check, plus how to run Pi in Docker for safety.
Series Inside Pi · Part 2 of 2Part 1 of 3: what Cloud Harness MCP is, why it needs a VPS, Cloudflare Access and your own domain, the prerequisites, and the end-to-end order.
Series Self-hosting Cloud Harness MCP for ChatGPT · Part 1 of 3Part 2 of 3: DNS, the VPS deploy, Cloudflare Access, Managed OAuth, the AUTH_MODE cutover, the ChatGPT connector and the GitHub App. Includes real screenshots with identifying data blurred.
Series Self-hosting Cloud Harness MCP for ChatGPT · Part 2 of 3Part 3 of 3: how to split the Cloud Harness MCP setup between you and an AI agent, a sample prompt for the VPS work, and delegation patterns to avoid.
Series Self-hosting Cloud Harness MCP for ChatGPT · Part 3 of 3Advisor in Oh-my-pi (OMP) is a review loop running beside the main agent for the whole session. This guide takes apart its severity levels and note delivery, then compares it with Advisor in Claude Code and AgentKit.
Series Inside OMP · Part 3 of 3Oh-my-pi (OMP) /plan locks the session read-only, AgentKit ak-plan writes the plan to files. When to use which, why not to nest the two commands, and how to run them in sequence.
Series Inside OMP · Part 2 of 3Roles in Oh-my-pi (OMP) are routing aliases, not agents. How to assign models by workload, set fallbacks for when a model fails, and read back which model is actually running in a session.
Series Inside OMP · Part 1 of 3Herdr keeps coding agents running on your machine even after you close the terminal. This guide covers install, a tidy config, and driving your agents from your phone over SSH and Tailscale.
Series Herdr · Part 1 of 2Let agents drive agents through the Herdr CLI: check the target, send and wait, read results, one worktree per writing agent, plus sample workflows, the herdr-agent skill and the Vercel Sandbox plugin.
