+
+Pi is a minimal terminal coding harness. Adapt pi to your workflows, not the other way around, without having to fork and modify pi internals. Extend it with TypeScript [Extensions](#extensions), [Skills](#skills), [Prompt Templates](#prompt-templates), and [Themes](#themes). Put your extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes in [Pi Packages](#pi-packages) and share them with others via npm or git.
+
+Pi ships with powerful defaults but skips features like sub agents and plan mode. Instead, you can ask pi to build what you want or install a third party pi package that matches your workflow.
+
+Pi runs in four modes: interactive, print or JSON, RPC for process integration, and an SDK for embedding in your own apps. See [openclaw/openclaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) for a real-world SDK integration.
+
+## Share your OSS coding agent sessions
+
+If you use pi for open source work, please share your coding agent sessions.
+
+Public OSS session data helps improve models, prompts, tools, and evaluations using real development workflows.
+
+For the full explanation, see [this post on X](https://x.com/badlogicgames/status/2037811643774652911).
+
+To publish sessions, use [`badlogic/pi-share-hf`](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-share-hf). Read its README.md for setup instructions. All you need is a Hugging Face account, the Hugging Face CLI, and `pi-share-hf`.
+
+You can also watch [this video](https://x.com/badlogicgames/status/2041151967695634619), where I show how I publish my `pi-mono` sessions.
+
+I regularly publish my own `pi-mono` work sessions here:

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+npm install -g --ignore-scripts @schovest/pi-coding-agent
+```
+
+`--ignore-scripts` disables dependency lifecycle scripts during install. Pi does not require install scripts for normal npm installs.
+
+Installer alternative:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+Authenticate with an API key:
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+pi
+```
+
+Or use your existing subscription:
+
+```bash
+pi
+/login  # Then select provider
+```
+
+Then just talk to pi. By default, pi gives the model four tools: `read`, `write`, `edit`, and `bash`. The model uses these to fulfill your requests. Add capabilities via [skills](#skills), [prompt templates](#prompt-templates), [extensions](#extensions), or [pi packages](#pi-packages).
+

+
+---
+
+## Providers & Models
+
+For each built-in provider, pi maintains a list of tool-capable models, updated with every release. Authenticate via subscription (`/login`) or API key, then select any model from that provider via `/model` (or Ctrl+L).
+
+**Subscriptions:**

+- OpenAI ChatGPT Plus/Pro (Codex)
+- GitHub Copilot
+
+**API keys:**

+
+See [docs/providers.md](docs/providers.md) for detailed setup instructions.
+
+**Custom providers & models:** Add providers via `~/.pi/agent/models.json` if they speak a supported API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). For custom APIs or OAuth, use extensions. See [docs/models.md](docs/models.md) and [docs/custom-provider.md](docs/custom-provider.md).
+
+---
+
+## Interactive Mode
+
+<p align="center"><img src="docs/images/interactive-mode.png" alt="Interactive Mode" width="600"></p>
+
+The interface from top to bottom:
+
+- **Startup header** - Shows shortcuts (`/hotkeys` for all), loaded AGENTS.md files, prompt templates, skills, and extensions
+- **Messages** - Your messages, assistant responses, tool calls and results, notifications, errors, and extension UI
+- **Editor** - Where you type; border color indicates thinking level
+- **Footer** - Working directory, session name, total token/cache usage (`↑` input, `↓` output, `R` cache read, `W` cache write, `CH` latest cache hit rate), cost, context usage, current model
+
+The editor can be temporarily replaced by other UI, like built-in `/settings` or custom UI from extensions (e.g., a Q&A tool that lets the user answer model questions in a structured format). [Extensions](#extensions) can also replace the editor, add widgets above/below it, a status line, custom footer, or overlays.
+
+### Editor
+
+| Feature | How |
+|---------|-----|
+| File reference | Type `@` to fuzzy-search project files |
+| Path completion | Tab to complete paths |
+| Multi-line | Shift+Enter (or Ctrl+Enter on Windows Terminal) |
+| Images | Ctrl+V to paste (Alt+V on Windows), or drag onto terminal |
+| Bash commands | `!command` runs and sends output to LLM, `!!command` runs without sending |
+
+Standard editing keybindings for delete word, undo, etc. See [docs/keybindings.md](docs/keybindings.md).
+
+### Commands
+
+Type `/` in the editor to trigger commands. [Extensions](#extensions) can register custom commands, [skills](#skills) are available as `/skill:name`, and [prompt templates](#prompt-templates) expand via `/templatename`.
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/login`, `/logout` | OAuth authentication |
+| `/model` | Switch models |
+| `/scoped-models` | Enable/disable models for Ctrl+P cycling |
+| `/settings` | Thinking level, theme, message delivery, transport |
+| `/resume` | Pick from previous sessions |
+| `/new` | Start a new session |
+| `/name <name>` | Set session display name |
+| `/session` | Show session info (file, ID, messages, tokens, cost) |
+| `/tree` | Jump to any point in the session and continue from there |
+| `/trust` | Save project trust decision for future sessions (restart required) |
+| `/fork` | Create a new session from a previous user message |
+| `/clone` | Duplicate the current active branch into a new session |
+| `/compact [prompt]` | Manually compact context, optional custom instructions |
+| `/copy` | Copy last assistant message to clipboard |
+| `/export [file]` | Export session to HTML file |
+| `/share` | Upload as private GitHub gist with shareable HTML link |
+| `/reload` | Reload keybindings, extensions, skills, prompts, and context files (themes hot-reload automatically) |
+| `/hotkeys` | Show all keyboard shortcuts |
+| `/changelog` | Display version history |
+| `/quit` | Quit pi |
+
+### Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+See `/hotkeys` for the full list. Customize via `~/.pi/agent/keybindings.json`. See [docs/keybindings.md](docs/keybindings.md).
+
+**Commonly used:**
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| Ctrl+C | Clear editor |
+| Ctrl+C twice | Quit |
+| Escape | Cancel/abort |
+| Escape twice | Open `/tree` |
+| Ctrl+L | Open model selector |
+| Ctrl+P / Shift+Ctrl+P | Cycle scoped models forward/backward |
+| Shift+Tab | Cycle thinking level |
+| Ctrl+O | Collapse/expand tool output |
+| Ctrl+T | Collapse/expand thinking blocks |
+
+### Message Queue
+
+Submit messages while the agent is working:
+
+- **Enter** queues a *steering* message, delivered after the current assistant turn finishes executing its tool calls
+- **Alt+Enter** queues a *follow-up* message, delivered only after the agent finishes all work
+- **Escape** aborts and restores queued messages to editor
+- **Alt+Up** retrieves queued messages back to editor
+
+On Windows Terminal, `Alt+Enter` is fullscreen by default. Remap it in [docs/terminal-setup.md](docs/terminal-setup.md) so pi can receive the follow-up shortcut.
+
+Configure delivery in [settings](docs/settings.md): `steeringMode` and `followUpMode` can be `"one-at-a-time"` (default, waits for response) or `"all"` (delivers all queued at once). `transport` selects provider transport preference (`"sse"`, `"websocket"`, or `"auto"`) for providers that support multiple transports.
+
+---
+
+## Sessions
+
+Sessions are stored as JSONL files with a tree structure. Each entry has an `id` and `parentId`, enabling in-place branching without creating new files. See [docs/session-format.md](docs/session-format.md) for file format.
+
+### Management
+
+Sessions auto-save to `~/.pi/agent/sessions/` organized by working directory.
+
+```bash
+pi -c                  # Continue most recent session
+pi -r                  # Browse and select from past sessions
+pi --no-session        # Ephemeral mode (don't save)
+pi --name "my task"    # Set session display name at startup
+pi --session <path|id> # Use specific session file or ID
+pi --fork <path|id>    # Fork specific session file or ID into a new session
+```
+
+Use `/session` in interactive mode to see the current session ID before reusing it with `--session <id>` or `--fork <id>`.
+
+### Branching
+
+**`/tree`** - Navigate the session tree in-place. Select any previous point, continue from there, and switch between branches. All history preserved in a single file.
+
+<p align="center"><img src="docs/images/tree-view.png" alt="Tree View" width="600"></p>
+
+- Search by typing, fold/unfold and jump between branches with Ctrl+←/Ctrl+→ or Alt+←/Alt+→, page with ←/→
+- Filter modes (Ctrl+O): default → no-tools → user-only → labeled-only → all
+- Press Shift+L to label entries as bookmarks and Shift+T to toggle label timestamps
+
+**`/fork`** - Create a new session file from a previous user message on the active branch. Opens a selector, copies the active path up to that point, and places the selected prompt in the editor for modification.
+
+**`/clone`** - Duplicate the current active branch into a new session file at the current position. The new session keeps the full active-path history and opens with an empty editor.
+
+**`--fork <path|id>`** - Fork an existing session file or partial session UUID directly from the CLI. This copies the full source session into a new session file in the current project.
+
+### Compaction
+
+Long sessions can exhaust context windows. Compaction summarizes older messages while keeping recent ones.
+
+**Manual:** `/compact` or `/compact <custom instructions>`
+
+**Automatic:** Enabled by default. Triggers on context overflow (recovers and retries) or when approaching the limit (proactive). Configure via `/settings` or `settings.json`.
+
+Compaction is lossy. The full history remains in the JSONL file; use `/tree` to revisit. Customize compaction behavior via [extensions](#extensions). See [docs/compaction.md](docs/compaction.md) for internals.
+
+---
+
+## Settings
+
+Use `/settings` to modify common options, or edit JSON files directly:
+
+| Location | Scope |
+|----------|-------|
+| `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` | Global (all projects) |
+| `.pi/settings.json` | Project (overrides global) |
+
+See [docs/settings.md](docs/settings.md) for all options.
+
+### Project Trust
+
+On interactive startup, pi asks before trusting a project folder that contains project-local extensions or settings and has no saved decision for the folder or a parent folder in `~/.pi/agent/trust.json`. Trusting a project allows pi to load `.pi/settings.json` and `.pi` resources, install missing project packages, and execute project extensions.
+
+Before the trust decision, pi loads only context files, user/global extensions, and CLI `-e` extensions so they can handle the `project_trust` event. Project-local extensions, project package-managed extensions, and project settings are loaded only after the project is trusted. This split also applies when switching to a session from a different cwd whose trust has not been resolved in the current process.
+
+Non-interactive modes (`-p`, `--mode json`, and `--mode rpc`) do not show a trust prompt. Without an applicable saved trust decision, they use `defaultProjectTrust` from global settings: `ask` (default) and `never` ignore trust-gated project inputs, while `always` trusts them. Pass `--approve`/`-a` or `--no-approve`/`-na` to override project trust for one run.
+
+If no extension or saved decision applies, `defaultProjectTrust` controls the fallback behavior. Set it to `"ask"`, `"always"`, or `"never"` in `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`, or change it with `/settings`.
+
+`pi config` and package commands use the same project trust flow. Pass `--approve` to trust project-local settings for one command or `--no-approve` to ignore them.
+
+Use `/trust` in interactive mode to save a project trust decision for future sessions, including trust for the immediate parent folder. It writes `~/.pi/agent/trust.json` only; the current session is not reloaded, so restart pi for changes to take effect.
+
+### Telemetry and update checks
+
+Pi has two separate startup features:
+
+- **Update check:** fetches `https://pi.dev/api/latest-version` to check whether a newer Pi version exists. Disable it with `PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK=1`. Disabling update checks only turns off this check.
+- **Install/update telemetry:** after first install or a changelog-detected update, sends an anonymous version ping to `https://pi.dev/api/report-install`. This setting also controls optional provider attribution headers for OpenRouter, Cloudflare, and direct NVIDIA NIM requests. Opt out by setting `enableInstallTelemetry` to `false` in `settings.json`, or by setting `PI_TELEMETRY=0`. This does not disable update checks; Pi may still contact `pi.dev` for the latest version unless update checks are disabled or offline mode is enabled.
+
+Use `--offline` or `PI_OFFLINE=1` to disable all startup network operations described here, including update checks, package update checks, and install/update telemetry.
+
+---
+
+## Context Files
+
+Pi loads `AGENTS.md` (or `CLAUDE.md`) at startup from:
+- `~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md` (global)
+- Parent directories (walking up from cwd)
+- Current directory
+
+Use for project instructions (`AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`), conventions, common commands. All matching files are concatenated.
+
+Disable context file loading with `--no-context-files` (or `-nc`).
+
+### System Prompt
+
+Replace the default system prompt with `.pi/SYSTEM.md` (project) or `~/.pi/agent/SYSTEM.md` (global). Append without replacing via `APPEND_SYSTEM.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Customization
+
+### Prompt Templates
+
+Reusable prompts as Markdown files. Type `/name` to expand.
+
+```markdown
+<!-- ~/.pi/agent/prompts/review.md -->
+Review this code for bugs, security issues, and performance problems.
+Focus on: {{focus}}
+```
+
+Place in `~/.pi/agent/prompts/`, `.pi/prompts/`, or a [pi package](#pi-packages) to share with others. See [docs/prompt-templates.md](docs/prompt-templates.md).
+
+### Skills
+
+On-demand capability packages following the [Agent Skills standard](https://agentskills.io). Invoke via `/skill:name` or let the agent load them automatically.
+
+```markdown
+<!-- ~/.pi/agent/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md -->
+# My Skill
+Use this skill when the user asks about X.
+
+## Steps
+1. Do this
+2. Then that
+```
+
+Place in `~/.pi/agent/skills/`, `~/.agents/skills/`, `.pi/skills/`, or `.agents/skills/` (from `cwd` up through parent directories) or a [pi package](#pi-packages) to share with others. See [docs/skills.md](docs/skills.md).
+
+### Extensions
+
+<p align="center"><img src="docs/images/doom-extension.png" alt="Doom Extension" width="600"></p>
+
+TypeScript modules that extend pi with custom tools, commands, keyboard shortcuts, event handlers, and UI components.
+
+```typescript
+export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
+  pi.registerTool({ name: "deploy", ... });
+  pi.registerCommand("stats", { ... });
+  pi.on("tool_call", async (event, ctx) => { ... });
+}
+```
+
+The default export can also be `async`. pi waits for async extension factories before startup continues, which is useful for one-time initialization such as fetching remote model lists before calling `pi.registerProvider()`.
+
+**What's possible:**
+- Custom tools (or replace built-in tools entirely)
+- Sub-agents and plan mode
+- Custom compaction and summarization
+- Permission gates and path protection
+- Custom editors and UI components
+- Status lines, headers, footers
+- Git checkpointing and auto-commit
+- SSH and sandbox execution
+- MCP server integration
+- Make pi look like Claude Code
+- Games while waiting (yes, Doom runs)
+- ...anything you can dream up
+
+Place in `~/.pi/agent/extensions/`, `.pi/extensions/`, or a [pi package](#pi-packages) to share with others. See [docs/extensions.md](docs/extensions.md) and [examples/extensions/](examples/extensions/).
+
+### Themes
+
+Built-in: `dark`, `light`. Themes hot-reload: modify the active theme file and pi immediately applies changes.
+
+Place in `~/.pi/agent/themes/`, `.pi/themes/`, or a [pi package](#pi-packages) to share with others. See [docs/themes.md](docs/themes.md).
+
+### Pi Packages
+
+Bundle and share extensions, skills, prompts, and themes via npm or git. Find packages on [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=keywords%3Api-package) or [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1456806362351669492/1457744485428629628).
+
+> **Security:** Pi packages run with full system access. Extensions execute arbitrary code, and skills can instruct the model to perform any action including running executables. Review source code before installing third-party packages.
+
+```bash
+pi install npm:@foo/pi-tools
+pi install npm:@foo/pi-tools@1.2.3      # pinned version
+pi install git:github.com/user/repo
+pi install git:github.com/user/repo@v1  # tag or commit
+pi install git:git@github.com:user/repo
+pi install git:git@github.com:user/repo@v1  # tag or commit
+pi install https://github.com/user/repo
+pi install https://github.com/user/repo@v1      # tag or commit
+pi install ssh://git@github.com/user/repo
+pi install ssh://git@github.com/user/repo@v1    # tag or commit
+pi remove npm:@foo/pi-tools
+pi uninstall npm:@foo/pi-tools          # alias for remove
+pi list
+pi update                               # update pi and packages (skips pinned packages)
+pi update --extensions                  # update packages only
+pi update --self                        # update pi only
+pi update --self --force                # reinstall pi even if current
+pi update npm:@foo/pi-tools             # update one package
+pi config                               # enable/disable extensions, skills, prompts, themes
+```
+
+Packages install to `~/.pi/agent/git/` (git) or `~/.pi/agent/npm/` (npm). Use `-l` for project-local installs (`.pi/git/`, `.pi/npm/`). Git `@ref` values are pinned tags or commits; pinned packages are skipped by `pi update`, so use `pi install git:host/user/repo@new-ref` to move an existing package to a new ref. Git packages install dependencies with `npm install --omit=dev` by default, so runtime deps must be listed under `dependencies`; when `npmCommand` is configured, git packages use plain `install` for compatibility with wrappers. If you use a Node version manager and want package installs to reuse a stable npm context, set `npmCommand` in `settings.json`, for example `["mise", "exec", "node@20", "--", "npm"]`.
+
+Create a package by adding a `pi` key to `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-pi-package",
+  "keywords": ["pi-package"],
+  "pi": {
+    "extensions": ["./extensions"],
+    "skills": ["./skills"],
+    "prompts": ["./prompts"],
+    "themes": ["./themes"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Without a `pi` manifest, pi auto-discovers from conventional directories (`extensions/`, `skills/`, `prompts/`, `themes/`).
+
+See [docs/packages.md](docs/packages.md).
+
+---
+
+## Programmatic Usage
+
+### SDK
+
+```typescript
+import { AuthStorage, createAgentSession, ModelRegistry, SessionManager } from "@schovest/pi-coding-agent";
+
+const authStorage = AuthStorage.create();
+const modelRegistry = ModelRegistry.create(authStorage);
+const { session } = await createAgentSession({
+  sessionManager: SessionManager.inMemory(),
+  authStorage,
+  modelRegistry,
+});
+
+await session.prompt("What files are in the current directory?");
+```
+
+For advanced multi-session runtime replacement, use `createAgentSessionRuntime()` and `AgentSessionRuntime`.
+
+See [docs/sdk.md](docs/sdk.md) and [examples/sdk/](examples/sdk/).
+
+### RPC Mode
+
+For non-Node.js integrations, use RPC mode over stdin/stdout:
+
+```bash
+pi --mode rpc
+```
+
+RPC mode uses strict LF-delimited JSONL framing. Clients must split records on `\n` only. Do not use generic line readers like Node `readline`, which also split on Unicode separators inside JSON payloads.
+
+See [docs/rpc.md](docs/rpc.md) for the protocol.
+
+---
+
+## Philosophy
+
+Pi is aggressively extensible so it doesn't have to dictate your workflow. Features that other tools bake in can be built with [extensions](#extensions), [skills](#skills), or installed from third-party [pi packages](#pi-packages). This keeps the core minimal while letting you shape pi to fit how you work.
+
+**No MCP.** Build CLI tools with READMEs (see [Skills](#skills)), or build an extension that adds MCP support. [Why?](https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-02-what-if-you-dont-need-mcp/)
+
+**No sub-agents.** There's many ways to do this. Spawn pi instances via tmux, or build your own with [extensions](#extensions), or install a package that does it your way.
+
+**No permission popups.** Run in a container, or build your own confirmation flow with [extensions](#extensions) inline with your environment and security requirements.
+
+**No plan mode.** Write plans to files, or build it with [extensions](#extensions), or install a package.
+
+**No built-in to-dos.** They confuse models. Use a TODO.md file, or build your own with [extensions](#extensions).
+
+**No background bash.** Use tmux. Full observability, direct interaction.
+
+Read the [blog post](https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-30-pi-coding-agent/) for the full rationale.
+

+
+## CLI Reference
+
+```bash
+pi [options] [@files...] [messages...]
+```
+
+### Package Commands
+
+```bash
+pi install <source> [-l]     # Install package, -l for project-local
+pi remove <source> [-l]      # Remove package
+pi uninstall <source> [-l]   # Alias for remove
+pi update [source|self|pi]   # Update pi and packages (skips pinned packages)
+pi update --extensions       # Update packages only
+pi update --self             # Update pi only
+pi update --self --force     # Reinstall pi even if current
+pi update --extension <src>  # Update one package
+pi list                      # List installed packages
+pi config                    # Enable/disable package resources
+```
+
+`pi config` and project package commands accept `--approve`/`--no-approve` to trust or ignore project-local settings for one command.
+
+### Modes
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| (default) | Interactive mode |
+| `-p`, `--print` | Print response and exit |
+| `--mode json` | Output all events as JSON lines (see [docs/json.md](docs/json.md)) |
+| `--mode rpc` | RPC mode for process integration (see [docs/rpc.md](docs/rpc.md)) |
+| `--export <in> [out]` | Export session to HTML |
+
+In print mode, pi also reads piped stdin and merges it into the initial prompt:
+
+```bash
+cat README.md | pi -p "Summarize this text"
+```
+
+### Model Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `--provider <name>` | Provider (anthropic, openai, google, etc.) |

+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` | Override config directory (default: `~/.pi/agent`) |
+| `PI_CODING_AGENT_SESSION_DIR` | Override session storage directory (overridden by `--session-dir`) |
+| `PI_PACKAGE_DIR` | Override package directory (useful for Nix/Guix where store paths tokenize poorly) |
+| `PI_OFFLINE` | Disable startup network operations, including update checks, package update checks, and install/update telemetry |
+| `PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK` | Skip the Pi version update check at startup. This prevents the `pi.dev` latest-version request |
