Pi is a minimal terminal coding harness. Adapt Pi to your workflows, not the other way around. Customize Pi with extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes. Bundle them as Pi packages and share via npm or git.
Pi ships with powerful defaults but skips features like sub-agents and plan mode. Ask Pi to build what you want, or install a package that does it your way.
Four modes: interactive, print/JSON, RPC, and SDK. See OpenClaw for a real-world integration.

«Crea un componente SuperManzrio.js donde hagas un canvas de 800x300 donde un personaje con ropa negra va saltando por ordenadores de 8 bits. Haz un index.html para usarlo.»
En este caso, usamos @PidevCoding como agente
Experimenting around with building my own harness orchestrator on top of @PidevCoding using Codex.
Trying to see if I can maximize my token usage on useful feature creation, with as little management as possible.
Not much success yet, but let's see!
We are living in wild times :) I just asked my @PidevCoding backed by GPT 5.5 to deploy the Django RSS reader app I just had it build to a Docker container in an Ubuntu 26.04 VM on my Proxmox server, and it's handling the entire process soup to nuts.
This stuff is *wild magic*!
Most AI coding tools want you to change the way you work.
Pi takes a different approach.
Instead of forcing developers into a predefined workflow, Pi acts as a minimal terminal-based coding harness that adapts to your workflow.
Why does that matter?
Because every developer works differently.
Some use Claude.
Some use OpenAI.
Some use local models.
Some rely heavily on scripts, automation, and custom tooling.
Pi doesn't try to replace your setup.
It becomes part of it.
Features that stand out:
• Minimal terminal-first experience
• Open-source and extensible
• Custom skills and workflows
• Themes and packages
• Modular architecture
• Built for builders who want control
The most interesting part is that Pi encourages customization rather than restriction.
You can create your own commands.
Build reusable workflows.
Share extensions with others.
Adapt the harness to your team instead of adapting your team to the harness.
The future of AI-assisted development isn't about one model winning.
It's about creating tools that let developers combine the best models, workflows, and automations in a way that feels natural.
Pi is a step in that direction.
If you're interested in developer tools, AI coding workflows, or open-source infrastructure, it's worth checking out.

Pi 0.78.0
New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.
New Features
• Named startup sessions
- --name / -n sets the session display name before startup across interactive, print, JSON, and RPC modes. See Naming Sessions and Session Options.
• Clickable file tool paths
- built-in file tool titles render OSC 8 file:// hyperlinks when the terminal supports them, including supported tmux clients.

pi is really interesting, i like very much "the way of Pi"
> at some points, everyone will have their own Pi
> personalized theme
> personalized extensions, skills, workflow
all you need is ... ask Pi to do it for you.
here is my statusline in Pi, ported from context-stats

Why do so many developers love the Pi?
Because:
• Open-source software
• Lightweight
• Fast
• Customizable
• You can create your own extensions
• Perfect for custom workflows
Por ahora puedo decir que lo siento mucho más "ligero" a @PidevCoding como harness del agente. Lo estoy usando con DeepSeek.
No me animé a loguearme con Claude Max por estas cosas raras que hace Claude baneando cuentas por no usar Claude Code... 😪
Hasta ahora viene siendo positivo, MUY poco consumo del plan opencode-go que tengo.

New Features
Cleaner read tool output - Collapsed read tool cards now show only the read line by default, while Ctrl+O still expands the full file content.
Faster file tools on Windows - Built-in file tools now use async filesystem operations during streaming, and image resizes run off the main TUI thread in a worker.
More reliable package updates - pi update and git package installs now reconcile pinned git refs and keep package settings intact. See Packages.
Custom Anthropic-compatible adaptive thinking - Custom provider model configs can opt into adaptive-thinking Claude behavior with compat.forceAdaptiveThinking. See Custom providers and Models.
Added
Added compat.forceAdaptiveThinking support to custom Anthropic-compatible model configuration docs and validation (#4797 by @mbazso).
Added a standard unified patch to edit tool result details for SDK consumers (#4821).
Changed
Changed collapsed read tool cards to show only the read line until expanded (#4916).
Replaced the inherited optional koffi dependency for Windows VT input with a tiny vendored native helper, reducing install size while preserving Shift+Tab handling (#4480).
Changed the root development install documentation to use npm install --ignore-scripts (#4868).

-skills for @PidevCoding adapted from your favourite engineers philosophies
- used Nüwa.skill from @AlchainHust for some of the profiling (works great for synthesising into SOUL.md files btw)
