Best for
Developers using the Zed editor who want to integrate the pi coding agent into their IDE workflow while retaining access to pi-specific features.
Not ideal for
Users requiring ACP filesystem (fs/*) or terminal delegation, as pi reads/writes and executes locally without those specific delegations.
An essential, high-utility bridge for pi users, offering a polished way to manage agents within Zed, though it remains an MVP-style tool that may see minor breaking changes.
Recent updates include improved session restoration, support for realized file mutation diffs, reporting of token usage and cost via usage_update notifications, and standardizing model configuration options.
