# Pi Agent Harness
This is the home of the Pi agent harness project including our self extensible coding agent.
* **[@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent](packages/coding-agent)**: Interactive coding agent CLI
* **[@earendil-works/pi-agent-core](packages/agent)**: Agent runtime with tool calling and state management
* **[@earendil-works/pi-ai](packages/ai)**: Unified multi-provider LLM API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, …)
To learn more about Pi:
* [Visit pi.dev](https://pi.dev), the project website with demos
* [Read the documentation](https://pi.dev/docs/latest), but you can also ask the agent to explain itself

## Permissions & Containerization
Pi does not include a built-in permission system for restricting filesystem, process, network, or credential access. By default, it runs with the permissions of the user and process that launched it.
If you need stronger boundaries, containerize or sandbox Pi. See [packages/coding-agent/docs/containerization.md](packages/coding-agent/docs/containerization.md) for three patterns:
- **Gondolin extension**: keep `pi` and provider auth on the host while routing built-in tools and `!` commands into a local Linux micro-VM.
- **Plain Docker**: run the whole `pi` process in a local container for simple isolation.
- **OpenShell**: run the whole `pi` process in a policy-controlled sandbox.
## Contributing
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for contribution guidelines and [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for project-specific rules (for both humans and agents). Longer term plans for Pi can also be found in [RFCs](https://rfc.earendil.com/keyword/pi/).
## Development
```bash
npm install --ignore-scripts # Install all dependencies without running lifecycle scripts
npm run build # Refresh model data, then build all packages
npm run build:offline # Rebuild using existing model data without network access
npm run check # Lint, format, and type check
./test.sh # Run tests (skips LLM-dependent tests without API keys)
./pi-test.sh # Run pi from sources (can be run from any directory)
```
## Building standalone binaries from release source
GitHub releases include a versioned source archive covered by the release's `SHA256SUMS` file. Extract it and run the same build script used for the official standalone binaries:
```bash
VERSION="<release-version>"
tar -xzf "pi-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz"
cd "pi-${VERSION}"
./scripts/build-binaries.sh --offline-model-data --platform linux-x64 --out "$PWD/out"
```
The source archive includes the generated provider model data used for the release. `--offline-model-data` builds with that snapshot instead of refreshing it from live provider catalogs. The script still installs dependenciExcerpt of 6,607 characters

Would you bet a product on this? Bounded 0–100 and slow moving.
