Builds with and operates Pi, the minimal terminal coding harness. Use for installing Pi, configuring providers/models/settings/environment variables, creating Pi skills/extensions/packages/themes/prompt templates, embedding Pi through the SDK, integrating over RPC or JSON event streams, parsing sessions, running local models through the llama.cpp router, developing custom Pi providers and TUI components, or using ecosystem packages such as pi-subagents (delegation/orchestration)…
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 Agent Use this skill when the user wants to operate Pi or build on top of Pi. Pi is a minimal terminal coding harness extended through TypeScript extensions, skills, prompt templates, themes, packages, custom models/providers, SDK integrations, RPC mode, JSON event streams, and TUI components. ## First Decision Pick the reference before answering or coding: | User intent | Read | |---|---| | What Pi is, docs map, install methods | `references/overview.md` | | Install, authenticate, first run | `references/quickstart.md` | | Day-to-day CLI usage, commands, modes, flags, project trust | `references/usage.md` | | Provider auth, API keys, cloud provider setup | `references/providers.md` | | Custom model entries, local models, proxies, compat flags | `references/models.md` | | Local llama.cpp router, `/llama`, model download/load | `references/llama-cpp.md` | | Settings keys and defaults | `references/settings.md` | | `PI_*` and other environment variables | `references/environment-variables.md` | | Extension development, custom tools, events, commands | `references/extensions.md` | | Custom provider implementation, OAuth, custom streaming | `references/custom-provider.md` | …

How to install
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/pi-agent@sha256:ef84742b6e491b3fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6, 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.
