Made a Pi plugin to turn AI-garbage writing into simple human language.

As title says.

I was sick of the way AI talks. Needlessly long sentences, weird words that nobody fucking uses (load-bearing, wtf).

Saw somebody make a similar plugin for claude-code, so I made a similar thing for Pi.

Edit, forgot to add the link lol: https://github.com/wtfzambo/speak-like-you-eat


FAQ: why no use i-have-adhd or caveman?

I do use them, there's 2 problems:

  1. sometimes is not as effective, especially in long contexts
  2. AI tends to forget after a while

I was sick of AI agents being too clever so I made a simple template repo to dumb them down

Not sure if you feel the same, but I feel like AI models do TOO MUCH. Ask for a script, get an architecture. Ask for a fix, get a refactor.

And also they talk like they're LARPing Mary Shelley.

It's so annyoing and makes my work so much harder than it needs to be, when half the time I have to say "for fucks sake speak like a normal human".

Eventually I got sick of having to repeat myself every time so I made a template repo with the same corrections I used to write in the chat.

Then I added three subagents:

  • one writes code from the agreed plan
  • the second reviews the diff based on taste
  • the third reviews the diff based on spec

2 and 3 cannot touch the code, only review and send the review to the main agent.

I called it Pandino in honor of the Fiat Panda 4x4: not fast, not clever, simple mechanics, reliable as fuck. I want my code to be the same way.

Full disclosure: there's nothing novel here. It's mostly known concepts bundled up together in a plug'n'play template. YAGNI, KISS, Grug brained developer etc... that kind of stuff.

Installer is a shell script, or you can paste the prompt in the README and let your agent merge it into whatever instruction files you already have.

Installing is non-destructive so you can try it today on any live project you're working it.

If you end up using it, let me know how it works for you, cheers!

Migrating from Claw to Hermes, worth?

I know asking this here invites a bit of bias, so I'm gonna ask you try to be as honest as possible in your answer.

I'm asking anyone of you that was on openclaw long enough and eventually decided to migrate.

I started my openclaw journey 4 months ago and I'm pretty satisfied, but all my friends that asked me to make a similar AI assistant I put them on Hermes for the stability of releases.

If I had to start from scratch, 100% I'd go with Hermes.

But I'm not starting from scratch, and I am wondering if it's worth the hassle to migrate, or if the benefit is marginal, given the fact that my OpenClaw environment is now very 4 months old, with a lot of custom stuff and "history".

What's your take?

Heavy AI usage is making me dumb af so I made a plugin to fix it (hopefully)

I'm sure most of you have felt this at some point, weeks or months after going all-in on agentic coding. "Is AI making me dumb?".

Apparently yes, and nowadays there's a bunch of papers that confirm this suspicion.

So I thought "man it would be cool if we had a gym, but for coding and stuff".

Leetcode came immediately to mind, but that doesn't really work... if you're frontend, secops, data... or anyone with a job really, the fuck do you care about leetcodes? You need something specific to your skillset and tasks.

And this is where the idea of this plugin came to mind: instead of having the AI write 100% of the time, every now and then, the agent scaffolds a logical unit, hands it off, watches you implement it, and reviews your work before resuming.

Frequency and difficulty levels can be configured with a command.

I hope you find it useful!
