    From the README

    Pi extension that integrates Claude Code via the Agent SDK. Originally based on claude-agent-sdk-pi by Prateek Sunal.

    FYI: Anthropic announced and then unannounced a change to how you would be billed for tools that use the Agent SDK like this one. It currently uses your regular subscription quota just like Claude Code.

    Requires pi 0.86.1 or newer.

    Use /model to select any Claude model in pi-ai's catalog, e.g. claude-bridge/claude-fable-5-1, claude-bridge/claude-opus-5, or claude-bridge/claude-haiku-4-5.

    Behind the scenes, pi's tools are bridged to Claude Code but everything works like normal in pi. Bash commands get Claude Code's 120-second default timeout since pi's bash has none. Skills are forwarded to Claude Code's system prompt, and steering mid-turn reaches Claude at the next tool boundary.

    The model list comes from pi-ai's Anthropic catalog automatically — when pi-ai adds a new Claude model, it appears in /model after updating the package, no bridge update needed. Dated snapshot ids (e.g. claude-opus-4-5-20251101) are not shown.

    1M Context: Fable 5/5.1, Opus 5.5/5/4.8/4.7, and Sonnet 5.5/5 get 1M context. Opus 4.6 gets 1M only on a Max plan or with Extra Usage, and Sonnet 4.6 only with Extra Usage — set provider.plan and/or provider.longContextExtraUsage as described in Configuration.
