pi — interactive | pi -p "q" — script | pi --mode rpc — cross-language | pi -c — continue | pi -r — browse sessions
Four Modes
Interactive (TUI) / -p Print / --mode json event stream / --mode rpc stdin/stdout JSONL
SDK embedding: import { createAgentSession } from "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent"
Models & Shortcuts
15+ providers (Anthropic/OpenAI/Google/...), /login OAuth or API key. /model (Ctrl+L) to switch, Ctrl+P to cycle, Shift+Tab to cycle thinking level.
Providers detail | Custom models | Shortcuts
Sessions
JSONL tree structure + in-place branching. /tree to navigate, /fork to branch, /compact to compress. pi -c to continue the last session.
Session management | JSONL format + Compaction
Steering & Follow-Up
While agent is running: Enter = steering (insert after tool completes), Alt+Enter = follow-up (insert after agent finishes), Escape to abort.
Context Engineering
AGENTS.md cascading loading, SYSTEM.md/APPEND_SYSTEM.md to replace/append system prompts. Auto-compaction summarizes old messages, customizable via Extensions.
Skills & Prompt Templates
Skills: ~/.pi/agent/skills/ directory + SKILL.md, Agent Skills standard. /skill:name or auto-load.
Prompts: ~/.pi/agent/prompts/*.md, /name to expand.
