pi-vs-claude-code is a collection of customized Pi Coding Agent instances used to compare an open-source coding agent with Claude Code. It is for exploring agent interfaces, orchestration, safety auditing, and integrations between coding agents. The catalogue entries are examples of the customized agent workflows in the collection.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00229 | $0.00229 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00092 | $0.00092 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
pi-vs-claude-code CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Pi vs CC — Extension Playground
Pi Coding Agent extension examples and experiments.
Tooling
- Package manager:
bun(not npm/yarn/pnpm) - Task runner:
just(see justfile) - Extensions run via:
pi -e extensions/<name>.ts
Project Structure
extensions/— Pi extension source files (.ts)specs/— Feature specifications.pi/agents/— Agent definitions for agent-team extension.pi/agent-sessions/— Ephemeral session files (gitignored)
Conventions
- Extensions are standalone .ts files loaded by Pi's jiti runtime
- Available imports:
@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent,@mariozechner/pi-tui,@mariozechner/pi-ai,@sinclair/typebox, plus any deps in package.json - Register tools at the top level of the extension function (not inside event handlers)
- Use
isToolCallEventType()for type-safe tool_call event narrowing
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
