- Add optional timeout parameter (in seconds) to bash tool
- No default timeout - commands run until completion unless specified
- Agent can provide timeout when needed for long-running commands
- Update README to reflect optional timeout
- Change title from package name to 'pi'
- Emphasize: radically simple, multi-model support, mid-session switching
- Highlight: CLI for headless tasks, creature comforts
- More concise and compelling
- Reference exa-search repo as concrete example
- Shows web search capability via simple tool pattern
- Demonstrates how easy it is to extend pi with custom tools
- Clear stance: no background bash execution
- Alternative: use tmux or tterminal-cp
- Link to tterminal-cp repo
- Rationale: long-running commands need proper terminal sessions
Planning:
- Clear stance: no built-in planning mode
- Alternative: write plans to PLAN.md files
- Persists across sessions, can be versioned
- Example provided showing structured approach
Auto-compaction:
- Added alternative: switch to bigger context model (Gemini)
- Can summarize session with larger model mid-session
- Clear stance: no built-in to-dos
- Rationale: they confuse models more than help
- Alternative: stateful TODO.md file with checkboxes
- Simple example provided
- Agent can read/update file as needed
- Check if --system-prompt argument is a valid file path
- Load file contents if it exists, otherwise use as literal text
- Works in both interactive and single-shot modes
- Project context and datetime still appended automatically
- Document in README with examples
- Changed package name from @mariozechner/coding-agent to @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
- Updated README installation command
- Binary name 'pi' remains the same
- Avoids conflict with existing @mariozechner/pi (pods package)
- State upfront: pi does not support MCP
- Provide minimal working example (README + bash script)
- Show simple usage pattern
- Remove verbose explanations
fix(tui): don't show duplicate URL when link text equals href
- Rename 'Available Tools' to 'Tools' with 'Built-in Tools' subsection
- Add 'MCP & Adding Your Own Tools' section
- Explain bash/code approach vs MCP servers
- Highlight token efficiency and composability benefits
- Link to blog post for detailed examples
- Document unrestricted filesystem and command access
- Explain no permission checks or safety rails
- Warn about prompt injection risks
- Provide mitigation suggestions
- Clear about design philosophy and use at own risk
- Context files now appended to system prompt
- Added current date/time to system prompt
- Added current working directory to system prompt
- Date/time and cwd placed at end of system prompt
- Updated README to reflect system prompt integration
- Walk up parent directories to load all AGENT.md/CLAUDE.md files
- Load global context from ~/.pi/agent/AGENT.md or CLAUDE.md
- Load order: global → top-most parent → ... → cwd
- Prefer AGENT.md over CLAUDE.md in each directory
- Each context file injected as separate message
- Updated README with detailed documentation
- text mode: only outputs final assistant message text (default)
- json mode: streams all events as JSON (same as session manager writes)
- rpc mode: JSON output + listens for JSON input on stdin for headless operation
- Suppress informational messages in json/rpc modes
