alt Hacker NewsStop advertising pi, people. It _somehow_ continued to fly somewhat under the radar after that whole OpenClaw nonsense. Don’t make Anthropic’s sic their bloodhounds on them like they did on OpenCode.

Interestingly, since OpenClaw, there has been ~one post about Pi every week. But practically no one voted any of them except this one.

pi is an officially accepted harness of either Anthropic or OpenAI. I forgot which.
People deserve to know it exists, I got tired of even OpenCode workflows/agents, installed OpenSpec but all this wrapped todos still not how i wanted I needed more control but dint wanted to write my own tool, then i ended knowing about pi, this got me interested at first read:
No plan mode. Write plans to files, or build it with extensions, or install a package. No built-in to-dos. Use a TODO.md file, or build your own with extensions. No background bash. Use tmux. Full observability, direct interaction.
This is very important to have control and ownership.
Pi is not for everyone, but the ones eventually want to have tools like (read, bash, edit, write, grep, find, ls) as building blocks.
