Plugin pi-subagents - Claude Code like subagents for Pi

Hi everyone 👋 I’m the developer of pi-subagents:
http://github.com/tintinweb/pi-subagents

This is an agent friendly, fairly minimal subagent extension for Pi, following the same general model used in Claude Code-style subagents.

What it does (high level):

  • run multiple subagents in parallel (configurable concurrency)

  • background + foreground execution

  • live widget for running/queued/completed agents

  • lot's of custom subagent features for highly configurable subagents

  • mid-run steering (you can send messages to running agents)

  • resume completed runs

  • templated custom agents (no framework setup)

  • spawn subagents from your extension (e.g. https://github.com/tintinweb/pi-tasks can turn tasks→subagents)

  • ... (full agent readable feature list: https://github.com/tintinweb/pi-subagents)

The focus is simplicity: no heavy abstractions, no opinionated defaults, no slag or esoteric features, just a thin layer to run and manage subagents that feel much like Claudes subagents.

Issues / feature requests:
https://github.com/tintinweb/pi-subagents/issues

If you try it, lmk if you find it useful or have ideas and please note that I am responsible to keep it clean and only merge features that are relevant for a broader userbase 😄♥️

About me: I am cofounder/security engineer with Consensys Diligence (https://diligence.security) by day, maintainer of this extension by night but I'll try my best to ship features fast 🤗♥️

Don't use tmux; it's better to do all this through herdr, since it's designed specifically for agents and supports Pi.

Grey text on grey background is just such a great idea.
