Pi Subagents Lite
Pi Subagents Lite is a tool that spawns custom agents in isolated sessions with their own tools, extensions, and models.
Pi Subagents Lite provides sub-agents for pi with minimal token overhead and schema-first design. It allows users to spawn custom agents in isolated sessions with their own tools, extensions, and models. The system supports foreground and background agents with detailed model configuration, concurrency, custom agent types, steering and continuation, cross-repo worktree support, and a live widget and conversation viewer with cost tracking. Built-in agents include general-purpose task execution and read-only codebase exploration, and users can create custom agents using Markdown files with frontmatter configuration. It requires Node.js and pi.
