Pi Agent Runtime

Pi provides the agent loop. We wrap it for Cloudflare Durable Objects.

Core Packages

bun add @mariozechner/pi-agent-core @mariozechner/pi-ai

• @mariozechner/pi-agent-core — Agent runtime with tool calling and state management
• @mariozechner/pi-ai — Unified multi-provider LLM API

Agent in Durable Object

import { Agent } from "@mariozechner/pi-agent-core"
import { getModel } from "@mariozechner/pi-ai"

export class AgentDO extends DurableObject {
  private agent: Agent
  
  async initialize() {
    this.agent = new Agent({
      initialState: {
        systemPrompt: await this.loadSystemPrompt(),
        model: getModel("anthropic", "claude-sonnet-4-5"),
        tools: this.getTools(),
      },
      // Inject context before each prompt
      transformContext: async (messages) => {
        const memories = await this.memory.searchRelevant(messages)
        return [...memories, ...messages]
      },
    })
  }
  
  async prompt(text: string): Promise<AgentResponse> {
    return this.agent.prompt(text)
  }
}

Tools

Pi's 4 core tools (Read, Write, Edit, Bash) plus custom tools:

import { defineTool } from "@mariozechner/pi-agent-core"

const rememberTool = defineTool({
  name: "remember",
  description: "Store information in encrypted memory for later recall",
  parameters: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      content: { type: "string", description: "Information to remember" },
      tags: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" } },
      privacy: { type: "string", enum: ["private", "shared", "public"] }
    },
    required: ["content"]
  },
  execute: async (params, context) => {
    const id = await context.memory.store({
      content: params.content,
      tags: params.tags || [],
      privacy: params.privacy || "private"
    })
    return { success: true, id }
  }
})

const recallTool = defineTool({
  : ,
  : ,
  : {
    : ,
    : {
      : { : , :  },
      : { : , :  }
    },
    : []
  },
  :  (params, context) => {
     results =  context..(params., params. || )
     { results }
  }
})

Extensions

Extensions persist state and can be hot-reloaded:

import { defineExtension } from "@mariozechner/pi-agent-core"

const memoryExtension = defineExtension({
  name: "encrypted-memory",
  version: "1.0.0",
  
  // Called once when extension loads
  initialize: async (context) => {
    return {
      memory: new EncryptedMemory(context.env.D1, context.identity)
    }
  },
  
  // Tools provided by this extension
  tools: [rememberTool, recallTool],
  
  // Hooks into agent lifecycle
  hooks: {
    beforePrompt: async (messages, state) => {
      // Inject relevant memories
      const context = await state.memory.searchRelevant(messages)
      return { messages: [...context, ...messages] }
    },
    afterResponse: async (response, state) => {
      // Auto-save important information
      if (response.shouldRemember) {
        await state.memory.store(response.content)
      }
    }
  }
})

Session Trees

Branch, navigate, rewind conversations:

// Create a branch for exploration
const branchId = await agent.branch("exploring-option-A")

// Do work on branch
await agent.prompt("Try approach A...")

// Switch back to main
await agent.checkout("main")

// Or rewind to earlier point
await agent.rewind(3) // Back 3 messages

Multi-Provider

Sessions can use different models:

import { getModel } from "@mariozechner/pi-ai"

// Anthropic
const claude = getModel("anthropic", "claude-sonnet-4-5")

// OpenAI
const gpt = getModel("openai", "gpt-5-3-codex")

// Use different models for different tasks
const analysisResult = await agent.prompt("Analyze this...", { model: claude })
const codeResult = await agent.prompt("Write code for...", { model: gpt })

Streaming

Stream responses for real-time output:

const stream = agent.promptStream("Generate a story...")

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  if (chunk.type === 'text') {
    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'chunk', text: chunk.text }))
  } else if (chunk.type === 'tool_call') {
    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'tool', name: chunk.name }))
  }
}

Self-Extending Pattern

Pi agents can create their own tools:

// Agent creates a new tool via code generation
const newTool = await agent.prompt(`
  Create a tool that converts temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
  Output the tool definition as JSON.
`)

// Register the generated tool
agent.registerTool(JSON.parse(newTool.content))
