Provides Pi-specific guidance for extensions, skills, `.pi/` config, `settings.json`, `models.json`, `mcp.json`, MCP servers, codemode, packages, providers, themes, SDK/RPC, sessions, and compaction in Pi, the coding agent. Use when the user mentions Pi or Pi-specific terms such as `.pi/`, `SKILL.md`, `createAgentSession()`, `thinkingLevel`, `session_before_compact`, `ctx.executeTool`, `pi-ai`, `pi-tui`, `pi-agent-core`, or `pi-coding-agent`. Not for Raspberry Pi hardware, the math constant…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pi Coding Agent

Pi is a minimal terminal coding harness. Default tools: `read`, `bash`, `edit`, `write`; `grep`, `find`, `ls`, and the Windows `powershell` tool are opt-in via the `defaultTools` setting or `--tools`. Built-in extensions (Pi 0.99.0) add MCP servers, the `codemode` tool (model-written JavaScript that calls other tools), and `tool_search`. `codemode` and `tool_search` start inactive: enable them with `defaultTools`/`--tools`, or let MCP activate them when a server needs them. Modes: interactive (`pi`), print (`pi -p`), JSON (`--mode json`), RPC (`--mode rpc`), or embedded (`createAgentSession()`). Sub-agents, plan mode, and permission flows are intentionally left to extensions and Pi packages. Skill synced with Pi 1.2.0.

Pi's philosophy: **adapt Pi to your workflows, not the other way around**.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add counterposition/pi/pi@sha256:71e3989575a20234

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.2032116, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
