Armin Ronacher b485fa3128 fix(tui,coding-agent): reduce render cost of theme changes and streaming
Theme previews re-render the whole transcript, and streaming re-renders
every frame, so per-line and per-session work dominated in long sessions.

- visibleWidth: fast path for ANSI-styled ASCII, allocation-free escape scanning
- Box: compare unpadded child lines and skip a second width measurement
- Markdown: reuse parsed tokens across invalidation
- footer: cache usage totals and context usage per session state
- bash results: cache the collapsed preview including the expand hint
- sanitizeBinaryOutput: single regex replace

Pi

Pi is a minimal, extensible AI agent for the terminal. Adapt Pi to your workflow, not the other way around.

Ask Pi to create the prompt templates, skills, extensions, and themes you need, or install a Pi package. Use Pi directly, automate it in print, JSON, or RPC mode, or build applications with the TypeScript SDK.

Getting started

Install the command-line interface with npm:

npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent

This requires Node.js 22.19 or newer. Pi does not require dependency lifecycle scripts for a normal npm installation.

On macOS or Linux, you can instead use the installer:

curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh

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.

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.
