Fixes #11803. **Problem** `tool_search` builds a tool's search text from its parameter schema but never followed `$ref`. MCP servers (Pydantic, FastMCP) often put nested models in `$defs`: ```json { "properties": { "options": { "$ref": "#/$defs/options" } }, "$defs": { "options": { "properties": { "mode": { "description": "reconciliation" } } } } } ``` Search text was `Inspect records options`, so `tool_search("reconciliation")` found nothing. Durable's copy of `tool_search` had the same gap. The codemode `resolves to` summary had the same blind spot for output schemas: a field behind a `$ref` showed as `structuredContent?` with no field names. **Fix** - pi-codemode exports its existing local JSON Pointer resolver as `resolveSchemaRef(ref, root)`. A malformed percent escape now resolves to nothing instead of throwing `URIError` (this also affected `schemaToType()`). - coding-agent and Durable `schemaText()` follow local `$ref`s. Each referenced subschema is read once, so recursive and shared definitions neither loop nor inflate BM25 term counts. Unreferenced `$defs` and remote refs stay out. - coding-agent `describeFields()`/`describeUnionFields()` resolve `$ref` chains against the output schema root. **Tests** - `packages/codemode/test/declarations.test.ts`: escaped, remote, missing, malformed refs. - `packages/coding-agent/test/tool-search.test.ts`: refs, escaped segments, recursion and shared definitions, unused definitions. - `packages/coding-agent/test/suite/agent-session-codemode.test.ts`: summary through root, field, const, and union refs. - `packages/durable/test/tool-search.test.ts`: end-to-end load via a ref'd description; unused definition does not match. `npm run check` passes. |

Pi
Pi is a minimal, extensible agent harness that you can make your own.
Adapt Pi to your workflows, not the other way around. Customize Pi with extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes. Bundle them as Pi packages and share via npm or git.
Pi ships with powerful defaults but skips features like sub-agents and plan mode. Ask Pi to build what you want, or install a package that does it your way.
Use Pi interactively, automate it in print or JSON mode, control it over RPC, or build apps with the Pi TypeScript SDK. See OpenClaw for a real-world integration.
Getting started
Install the command-line interface:
curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh
On Windows:
powershell -c "irm https://pi.dev/install.ps1 | iex"
The installer pins all dependencies and updates Pi with pi update. Alternatively, install directly with npm, which does not pin transitive dependencies:
npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
Pi requires Node.js 22.19 or newer. The macOS, Linux, and Windows installers can install it if needed. Pi does not require dependency lifecycle scripts for a normal npm installation.
On macOS and Linux, Nix users can install the latest release with nix profile add github:earendil-works/pi/stable. See the quickstart for updating and pinning releases.
Start Pi in the directory where you want it to work:
cd /path/to/project
pi
For a built-in AI provider, run /login inside Pi to connect a subscription or API key. Then give Pi a task.
See the documentation for full setup and usage instructions.
Share your OSS coding agent sessions
If you use Pi for open source work, please share your coding agent sessions.
Public OSS session data helps improve models, prompts, tools, and evaluations using real development workflows.
For the full explanation, see this post on X.
To publish sessions, use badlogic/pi-share-hf using a Hugging Face account and the Hugging Face CLI.
- Demo video on how to publish Pi sessions
- Published Pi development sessions:
badlogicgames/pi-monoon Hugging Face.
Development
Clone the repository, install its dependencies, and run Pi from source:
git clone https://github.com/earendil-works/pi
cd pi
npm install --ignore-scripts
./pi-test.sh
pi-test.sh can be called from any directory and preserves the caller's working directory.
Before submitting changes, run:
npm run check
./test.sh
