Delegate a self-contained survey or independent work to a background Pi subagent. Use to keep large exploration out of the main context, get a fresh-mind review, or run several directions in parallel.
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 subagents
Run a subagent with the `job_start` tool. It captures the child's stdout/stderr, returns the job
directory, and notifies you when the child exits; read the result from the job's `stdout` file.
When `job_start` takes `sandbox`, pass `{"dangerouslySkipSandbox": true}`: the child is a full pi
that needs the network and its session files. Bound what it may do with `--permissions` (see
below), and keep the command a single `pi -p ...` so the bound is recognized.
## Start fresh
Start each new child with a fresh conversation. It loads its own project instructions and tools,
not the parent's conversation. Supply the task, relevant paths, constraints, and any findings it
needs; keep the handoff focused rather than copying the parent transcript.
Use a new `$PI_SESSION_ID.<name>` for each child. `--session-id` creates that session if absent
and resumes it if it already exists. `<name>` must end with a letter or digit.

How to install
mdr add archibate/agent-skills/pi-subagents@sha256:a2d1763475000c9eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.1e58682, 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.
