The Typecheck CI gate was failing because pi-claude-cli declared pi-ai and
pi-coding-agent as unpinned "*" peers. pi-ai 0.80 was published and, via
hoisting/non-frozen resolution, the bare `@earendil-works/pi-ai` import floated
to 0.80.3 — which moved the top-level `getModels` export to the deprecated
`/compat` shim ("has no exported member named 'getModels'").
Migrate forward to the latest, consistent with cli/engine which already pin
^0.80.3:
- Pin pi-ai and pi-coding-agent to ^0.80.3 (peer + dev) so the whole extension
resolves one pi-ai version; pinning pi-coding-agent too avoids the
AssistantMessageEventStream type skew that a pi-ai-only bump reintroduced.
- Import the canonical `getBuiltinModels` from
`@earendil-works/pi-ai/providers/all` (identical signature to the old
`getModels`; the top-level export is now the deprecated compat alias).
- Update the provider test mock to the new subpath.
Behavior-preserving: getBuiltinModels === getModels. Typecheck, the full
recursive typecheck, and all 347 pi-claude-cli tests pass.

pi-claude-cli
A pi extension that routes LLM calls through the Claude Code CLI as a subprocess. Use your Claude Pro/Max subscription as the LLM backend — no API key, no separate billing.
How it works
The extension registers as a custom pi provider exposing all Claude models. Each request spawns a claude -p subprocess using the stream-json wire protocol, with --resume on follow-up turns to reuse the CLI's session state instead of replaying full history. Claude proposes tool calls, pi executes them natively. Custom pi tools are exposed to Claude via a schema-only MCP server.
Requirements
- Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated (
claudeon PATH) - A Claude Pro or Max subscription
- pi or GSD
Installation
Add to ~/.gsd/agent/settings.json:
{
"packages": ["npm:pi-claude-cli"]
}
Then select a Claude model via /model in the interactive UI. All Claude models appear under the pi-claude-cli provider.
Features
- Streams text, thinking, and tool call tokens in real-time
- Maps tool names and arguments bidirectionally between Claude and pi
- Exposes custom pi tools to Claude via MCP (schema-only, no execution)
- Break-early pattern prevents Claude CLI from auto-executing tools
- Session resume via
--resumeeliminates history replay on follow-up turns - Configurable thinking effort with elevated budgets for Opus models
- Cross-platform subprocess management (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Inactivity timeout and process registry for cleanup
