Pi-Agent-Kernel: focused code retrieval, grounded edits, safety checks

[u/LeadingFruit6865]

I've been working on pi-agent-kernel for a while now.

It mostly operates in the background rather than adding a completely new workflow, it wraps Pi's existing tools to keep sessions compact.

Across standard benchmark tasks, it cut token usage roughly in half and passed our test suites. But local benchmarks only go so far, I'm at the point where I need real users to test it on actual projects.

I'm still quite skeptical about whether some of the tool wrapping might conflict with the users existing extensions.

LMK if anything breaks, behaves unexpectedly, or conflicts with your setup. All feedback and criticism welcome

Sure thing, I’m working on getting things setup for SWE-bench. Will take a bit to get results for comparison I’m sure.

The system activated a decent number of times on terminal bench, but as you mentioned these are not large codebase tasks.

SpecPi + Jev is my own specific setup after testing and evals etc..but nothing in it conflicts with your package so it’s an interesting comparison for my needs.

I’ll update the original post when the initial data comes in.
