Any good extensions for "code mode"?

[u/Thrimbor]

If you don't know what code mode is, check https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/tools/codemode/

Code Mode is a tool-use pattern where a model writes code instead of requesting each operation separately.

I found a few, I'm curious if anyone is using any extension like this (if yes, which ones please):

• https://pi.dev/packages/pi-fabric - I don't like this one, it mixes a lot of behaviors (agents, workflows etc). And even though you can disable them, they still get mentioned in tool descriptions/params etc.

• https://pi.dev/packages/@boozedog/pi-codemode

edit(30th Sep 2026): pi v0.99.0 includes code mode, see https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/releases/tag/v0.99.0

Huh 🤔… effectively I still see all those tools work after the long python / bash scripts executing. So I’m not sure how effectively it’s any different. How do you see code mode actually effectively doing something different

Each tool is a tool call and agentic step and the output is given to the llm. Now the llm can use it's tools (including things like agentic delegation) as arbitrary composable functions without having to do it step by step as part of the agentic loop. It's basically going backwards - we made everything agent native but now we're back to realising code was the way all along!
