can you call the pi binary and try to unwrap it piece by piece. I want to understand what skills I have loaded currently, what extensions, where they live, etc.
Now I have a very complete picture. Here's the full breakdown:
/home/lakshyaag/.bun/bin/pi → symlink to ~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js0.55.4~/.pi/agent/| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
settings.json | Main settings (model, theme, packages, compaction, etc.) |
auth.json | API keys/OAuth tokens (Anthropic, Google, Google-Antigravity) |
models.json | Custom provider config — 1 provider: prime-intellect (100 models) |
sessions/ | 7 session folders, keyed by CWD path |
skills/ | 14 built-in skills |
extensions/ | 1 local custom extension |
git/ | Git-cloned packages |

pi-extmgr — Extension manager UIpi-powerline-footer — Powerline-style footerpi-mcp-adapter — MCP protocol adapterinnate-autumn-hgn6m)models.json (100 models at api.pinference.ai)The user wants me to explore the pi binary and understand its structure - what skills are loaded, what extensions exist, where they live, etc. Let me start by finding the pi binary and exploring its structure.
Let me start by locating the pi binary and exploring everything around it.
