View guide →A native Rust port of the Pi coding agent: single binary, zero unsafe code, and hardened extensions.
pi_agent_rust is an open-source dev tools project by Dicklesworthstone (Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust on GitHub). It has 1,857 GitHub stars and 217 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Decide which model provider you will connect and whether you need extensions beyond the built-in tools.
Install the pi binary with the one-line installer, or build from source following the repository's release documentation.
Start an interactive session in your project, or use single-shot mode for scripting.
Continue previous sessions, attach files inline to prompts, and inspect available models and providers from the CLI.
No Node or Bun bootstrap: a single pi binary aims to minimise startup time and memory overhead for long sessions.
A broad default toolset, with a core set always in the model's schema and the rest reachable through the xdev dispatcher or settings.
Extensions pass capability gates for host calls, with command-level mediation that blocks dangerous shell classes such as recursive deletes and reverse shells.
Extensions move through pending, acknowledged, trusted, and killed states with audit logs, and hostcall lanes can be forced into compatibility mode instantly.
Sessions use JSONL with branching, backed by a SQLite index and segmented sidecar logs for fast reopening of large histories.
Security decisions are hash-linked and can be verified, replayed, or recalibrated from runtime traces.
Release users install the binary directly; contributors are directed to the project's DSR-based build docs.
git clone https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust.git
cd pi_agent_rustThe installer script installs the single pi binary.
curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/main/install.sh" | bashOpen an interactive session, continue a previous one, or run a single-shot prompt.
pi "Help me refactor this function to use async/await"
pi --continueIt is maintained by Dicklesworthstone, as a port of Mario Zechner's original Pi Agent, made with his blessing according to the README.
The code is open source; the README badge states MIT + Rider licensing, so review the license files in the repo for the exact terms before redistribution.
Pi itself charges nothing, but it talks to model providers, so you use your own provider account or key; core latency benchmarks in the README exclude provider costs.
The original Pi is a TypeScript agent; this Rust port keeps the workflow while replacing the engine with a native binary, structured concurrency, and a hardened extension runtime.
Run the install script, then type pi in any project to start an interactive session.
