Pi Agent Harness Mono Repo

This is the home of the pi agent harness project including our self extensible coding agent.

• @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent : Interactive coding agent CLI
• @earendil-works/pi-agent-core : Agent runtime with tool calling and state management
• @earendil-works/pi-ai : Unified multi-provider LLM API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, …)

To learn more about pi:

• Visit pi.dev, the project website with demos
• Read the documentation, but you can also ask the agent to explain itself

Share your OSS coding agent sessions

If you use pi or other coding agents for open source work, please share your sessions.

Public OSS session data helps improve coding agents with real-world tasks, tool use, failures, and fixes instead of toy benchmarks.

For the full explanation, see this post on X.

To publish sessions, use badlogic/pi-share-hf. Read its README.md for setup instructions. All you need is a Hugging Face account, the Hugging Face CLI, and pi-share-hf.

You can also watch this video, where I show how I publish my pi-mono sessions.

I regularly publish my own pi-mono work sessions here:

• badlogicgames/pi-mono on Hugging Face

Permissions & Containerization

Pi does not include a built-in permission system for restricting filesystem, process, network, or credential access. By default, it runs with the permissions of the user and process that launched it.

If you need stronger boundaries, containerize or sandbox Pi. See packages/coding-agent/docs/containerization.md for three patterns:

• OpenShell : run the whole pi process in a policy-controlled sandbox.
• Gondolin extension : keep pi and provider auth on the host while routing built-in tools and ! commands into a local Linux micro-VM.
• Plain Docker : run the whole pi process in a local container for simple isolation.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution guidelines and AGENTS.md for project-specific rules (for both humans and agents).

Development

npm install --ignore-scripts # Install all dependencies without running lifecycle scripts npm run build # Build all packages npm run check # Lint, format, and type check ./test.sh # Run tests (skips LLM-dependent tests without API keys) ./pi-test.sh # Run pi from sources (can be run from any directory)

Supply-chain hardening

We treat npm dependency changes as reviewed code changes.

• Direct external dependencies are pinned to exact versions. Internal workspace packages remain version-ranged.
• .npmrc sets save-exact=true and min-release-age=2 to avoid same-day dependency releases during npm resolution.
• package-lock.json is the dependency ground truth. Pre-commit blocks accidental lockfile commits unless PI_ALLOW_LOCKFILE_CHANGE=1 is set.
• npm run check verifies pinned direct deps, native TypeScript import compatibility, and the generated coding-agent shrinkwrap.
• The published CLI package includes packages/coding-agent/npm-shrinkwrap.json, generated from the root lockfile, to pin transitive deps for npm users.
• Release smoke tests use npm run release:local to build, pack, and create isolated npm and Bun installs outside the repo before tagging a release.
• Local release installs, documented npm installs, and pi update --self use --ignore-scripts where supported.
• CI installs with npm ci --ignore-scripts, and a scheduled GitHub workflow runs npm audit --omit=dev plus npm audit signatures --omit=dev.
• Shrinkwrap generation has an explicit allowlist for dependency lifecycle scripts; new lifecycle-script deps fail checks until reviewed.
