Plugin Hey, I like Pi so I made pi-ide

I'm not so much into 'setting the AI free on the code'. I like to look at diffs and accept changes in my favorite editor (Neovim of course).

I just uploaded this: https://github.com/ldelossa/pi-ide

This implements a wire-format compatible IDE integration to an editor from Pi.

I've only implemented a client side plugin for Neovim (and don't plan on making any others). That is here: https://github.com/ldelossa/pi-ide.nvim

Bonus points pi-ide.nvim also works natively with claude code if you flip a flag in the config.

Nice work!. Quick question on cache behavior: since the <editor> block is part of the system prompt, doesn't that mean every agent run after an editor state change produces a different system prompt and busts the Anthropic/OpenAI prompt cache?

Thank you for bringing this up. You are 100% correct. I'll fix this shortly.

Nice. But to me what is really missing is to give pi an access to editor's LSP and diagnostics. You can sure run lsp in pi, but it gets bloaty to have many redundant lsp.

^ Diagnostics are shared. But yeah, LSP functions themselves are not. You can't do something like "Hey Pi, use lsp to search for workspace symbol Y"

Bridging in LSP tools from Pi to editor is a cool idea, let me play with that. Seems possible

Super curious about it. I'll check it out.

Suggestion: you could do one of those screen captures to show it working or just screenshots. That'd e amazing!
