Pi – a minimal terminal coding harness

SMRTR summary

Pi is a minimal terminal coding agent that prioritizes extensibility over built-in features. Unlike other coding agents, pi ships with powerful defaults but deliberately omits features like sub-agents and plan mode, instead letting developers build or install these capabilities through TypeScript extensions and npm packages. It supports 15+ AI providers, tree-structured sessions, advanced context engineering, and offers four integration modes including interactive TUI and SDK embedding.
