Writing language: KoreanRead in the original language
Plain summary
- The author switched the tool used to have AI write and edit code from Claude Code to Pi, an open-source tool. The goal was to build a work environment by adding the features they need themselves.
- According to the author, when Claude Code is connected to the VS Code editor, only one work window at a time can receive the text selected in the editor. The author wrote that the official extension supports multiple windows, but some commands and other features do not work.
- The author built an extension for Pi that receives text selected in multiple work windows. They said that early in the switch they had to adjust settings, but afterward they liked the stability and the freedom of user configuration.
- Anthropic announced support for AGENTS.md, a project instruction file, after the author decided to switch. The author pointed out the earlier inconvenience of having to copy or link content with a separate CLAUDE.md file.
Editorial opinion
O: Developers juggling multiple coding tasks who want to share editor selections with each task may find it worthwhile to extend that integration in Pi.
X: The author said they had to adjust their settings during the first few days after switching to Pi, so allow time for initial setup when moving an existing workflow.
