Pi ships with powerful defaults but skips features like sub-agents and plan mode

Does anyone have an idea as to why this would be a feature? don't you want to have a discussion with your agent to iron out the details before moving onto the implementation (build) phase?

In any case, looks cool :)

EDIT 1: Formatting EDIT 2: Thanks everyone for your input. I was not aware of the extensibility model that pi had in mind or that you can also iterate your plan on a PLAN.md file. Very interesting approach. I'll have a look and give it a go.

I plan all the time. I just tell Pi to create a Plan.md file, and we iterate on it until we are ready to implement.

Agreed. I rarely find the guardrails of plan to be necessary; I basically never use it on opencode. I have some custom commands I use to ask for plan making, discussion.

As for subagents, Pi has sessions. And it has a full session tree & forking. This is one of my favorite things, in all harnesses: build the thing with half the context, then keep using that as a checkpoint, doing new work, from that same branch point. It means still having a very usable lengthy context window but having good fundamental project knowledge loaded.

Check https://pi.dev/packages

There are already multiple implementations of everything.

With a powerful and extensible core, you don't need everything prepackaged.

See my comment in the thread but there is an intuitive extension architecture that makes integrating these type of things feel native.
