Closes #11816. ## Problem `ctx.ui.custom()` accepted `blocked` only for inline components. Overlays ignored it, so an extension question shown as an overlay left pi reporting `working` over OSC 7501. Example: pi-ask-user in its default overlay mode inside Herdr App never shows the session as blocked and never notifies. ## Change - Each overlay opened with `blocked` registers its own program status source (`extension-overlay:N`) after `showOverlay()` and clears it when the overlay calls `done()`. - The status stays while the overlay is hidden with `setHidden()` or covered by another overlay: the question is still unanswered. - Separate sources per overlay, so closing one keeps other open questions, dialogs and login prompts blocked. With several blocking prompts, the most recently shown one supplies `kind` and `message`. - Overlays without `blocked` (loaders etc.) register nothing and cannot clear another overlay's status. - `/reload` and session switches drop overlays without calling `done()`; `resetExtensionUI()` now clears their blocked status so pi does not stay blocked. - Inline components are unchanged: they report the dialog shown in the editor slot, so a non-blocking component shown in its place clears the status until it closes. - Docs (`docs/tui.md`, `custom()` JSDoc) and changelog updated. ## Testing - `npm run check` - `test/interactive-mode-extension-dialogs.test.ts`: new regression test (two blocking overlays, one non-blocking overlay, hide, close in order) and one for clearing the status on reset. pi-ask-user still needs to pass `blocked` for its overlay prompts. |

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
