About
A local-first desktop workspace (Electron + Rust host + pi Agent Harness) for running AI coding agents against any local project, with bring-your-own-model support for OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenAI-compatible/local gateways. It adds a permission layer for reviewing diffs and command output, plus extensibility via Skills, MCP servers, Subagents, and installable plugins.
What it can do
Run AI coding agents against local project repositories
Local project files → Agent-generated code changes
Connect to bring-your-own LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenAI-compatible/local gateways)
API credentials/endpoint → Configured model connection
Review and approve diffs and command output before execution
Proposed code diff or command → Approved or rejected change
Extend agent functionality with Skills
Skill definition → Added agent capability
Connect to MCP servers for extended tool access
MCP server configuration → Additional agent tools
Delegate tasks to Subagents
Task definition → Subagent execution result
Install plugins to extend the workspace
Plugin package → Installed extension
Why it made the leaderboard
Offers an editor-agnostic, fully local home for running coding agents against your own models, avoiding the account and relay lock-in of most hosted agent harnesses.
