My-Pi Coding-Agent

My curated Pi distribution: a ready-to-run coding-agent CLI with MCP, LSP, skills, recall, redaction, telemetry, team mode, prompt presets, and other handy extensions prewired.

Built on the @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent SDK. Use the full distribution directly, or install individual @spences10/pi-*

packages into your own Pi setup.

pnpx my-pi@latest

Use my-pi

if you want the complete, opinionated setup:

pnpx my-pi@latest

This is its own CLI wrapper around Pi. Do not install the root package with pi install npm:my-pi

.

Most extensions in this repo are also published as normal Pi packages:

pi install npm:@spences10/pi-lsp
pi install npm:@spences10/pi-mcp
pi install npm:@spences10/pi-redact

Use this path if you already have your own Pi setup and only want selected features. Package READMEs are the source of truth for install instructions, commands, configuration, and runtime behavior.

Pi-native CLI + SDK wrapper— interactive TUI, print mode, JSON mode, RPC mode, and programmatic runtime creation.** Project-aware MCP tools**— stdio and HTTP/streamable-HTTP servers frommcp.json

, scoped so sensitive or noisy tools only load for the projects and orgs where they belong.Project-aware skills— discover, enable, disable, import, and sync Pi-native skills, with different skill sets per project.** LSP tools**— diagnostics, hover, definitions, references, and document symbols via language servers.** Context sidecar**— local SQLite storage for oversized tool output, keeping long results searchable without flooding chat context.** Guardrails**— Svelte and coding-preference checks that block configured anti-patterns before agents write them.** Prompt presets**— base presets plus additive prompt layers with per-project persistence.** Secret safety**— redaction plus reminders to use secret-safe environment .** Recall, telemetry, and observability**— local support for prior-session lookup, evals, latency analysis, live event streams, and operational debugging.** Git UI**— interactive source-control staging and commit support.** Team mode**— local RPC teammate orchestration with tasks and mailboxes.** Themes and TUI helpers**— visual polish and shared modal primitives.

• Node.js >=24.15.0

• pnpm 11 for local development

• Pi authentication via pi auth

, provider environment variables, or supported OAuth flows

my-pi

uses native node:sqlite

through context, telemetry, and observability packages. The CLI suppresses Node's expected node:sqlite

ExperimentalWarning

; standalone package/API consumers own their process warning policy until Node marks it stable.

pnpx my-pi@latest

pnpx my-pi@latest "summarize this repo"
pnpx my-pi@latest -P "explicit print mode"

pnpx my-pi@latest --json "list all TODO comments"

pnpx my-pi@latest --mode rpc

pnpx my-pi@latest
pnpx my-pi@latest observability

Pi handles model authentication natively. For provider-specific model examples, see the Pi docs and the relevant extension/package README.

Umans.ai is available as a built-in provider. Run /login

, choose API key auth, then choose Umans; select models like umans/umans-coder

or umans/umans-flash

. The provider can also read UMANS_API_KEY

and can be disabled with --no-umans-provider

.

OpenRouter Fusion is configured by default: my-pi

injects a non-Anthropic Fusion panel/judge only for openrouter/fusion

. Configure it in ~/.pi/agent/my-pi-settings.json

under openRouterFusion

, e.g. {"openRouterFusion":{"analysisModels":["deepseek/deepseek-v3.2"],"judgeModel":"~openai/gpt-latest","force":false}}

. Fusion is forced by default with tool_choice: "required"

; set force: false

to let OpenRouter decide whether deliberation is needed. Env vars MY_PI_FUSION_ANALYSIS_MODELS

, MY_PI_FUSION_JUDGE_MODEL

, and MY_PI_FUSION_FORCE

still work as overrides. Disable with --no-openrouter-fusion-config

.

Install the full distribution with pnpx my-pi@latest

, or install selected extensions into vanilla Pi:

pi install npm:@spences10/pi-{context,lsp,team-mode}
