fix(coding-agent): start when a configured package fails to install (#11304)
fix(coding-agent): start when a configured package fails to install

A package in settings.json that could not be installed (registry
unreachable, package missing, failing git prepare step) crashed startup
with an uncaught rejection and a raw Node stack.

Resolving packages now catches the install failure, skips that package
the same way offline mode does, and reports it as an extension warning:

  Warning: Extension package "npm:foo": failed to install (...).
  Run "pi remove npm:foo" to remove it from settings.json.

Project packages point at `pi remove <source> --local`. `-e` sources
say to check the source instead. Pi tries the install again on the next
start or /reload.

--help and --list-models now print runtime diagnostics, so the warning
shows there too. pi config prints it as well. pi install and
pi update --extensions still fail with a non-zero exit.

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

Read CONTRIBUTING.md before opening an issue or pull request. It defines the contribution gate, issue quality bar, and required checks. Read AGENTS.md for repository-specific implementation, testing, dependency, and release rules.
