Follow-up to #11746 for the case @fcatuhe reported on #11599: a second shutdown trigger cut off cleanup. Problem: Paseo stops pi by closing stdin and sending SIGTERM in the same tick (SIGKILL 2 s later); systemd sends SIGTERM and stdin closes after. In RPC mode: - stdin EOF, then SIGTERM: `shutdown()` removed pi's SIGTERM handler when it started, so the signal killed pi (exit 143) mid-`dispose()`. - SIGTERM, then stdin EOF: the second `shutdown()` call ran `process.exit()`. A pending MCP token refresh was lost: the server had rotated the refresh token, the next pi sent the old one, and the server revoked the grant. Rule after this change: once a shutdown has started, a stdin EOF or a single signal does not interrupt it; a second signal exits at once. SIGKILL still always works. - **RPC mode** (`rpc-mode.ts`): signal handlers stay registered until exit; `shutdown()` runs once and later calls do nothing; the signal handler counts signals and exits only on a repeated one. - **Print mode** (`print-mode.ts`): the final `finally` removed the signal handlers before `disposeRuntime()`, so a signal during the final disposal killed pi. Handlers are now removed after it, `disposeRuntime()` returns the shared in-flight disposal (a signal then waits for it), and a repeated signal exits at once, as before. - **Interactive mode**: unchanged. It already lets a started shutdown finish. Docs (`docs/rpc.md`) and the CHANGELOG are updated. ## Testing - `test/rpc-prompt-response-semantics.test.ts`: EOF then SIGTERM, SIGTERM then EOF (both wait for a slow dispose, exit once with 0 and 143), and EOF then two SIGTERMs (exits at once with 143). All three fail on main. - `test/print-mode.test.ts`: SIGTERM during the final disposal waits for it, a second SIGTERM exits with 143, handlers are removed afterwards. Fails on main. - Real process, `pi --mode rpc` with a `session_shutdown` handler that takes 1 s and real signals: - EOF then SIGTERM: cleanup done, exit 0 (main: no cleanup, exit 143) - SIGTERM then EOF: cleanup done, exit 143 - EOF then two SIGTERMs: exit 143 at once - `npm run check` passes; all `test/rpc*` and `test/print-mode` tests pass. |

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.

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
