Introduction

Description shown in its original language (English).

Pi is a minimal coding agent for the terminal that adapts to existing developer workflows. It works as an extensible framework, so you can add commands, tools, providers, or UI tweaks through TypeScript packages from npm or git. It runs as an interactive TUI, in print mode for scripts, in RPC mode, or through an SDK.
