It says inspired by Pi, but I don't see any extension/plugin possibilities. The best feature of Pi is that an extension can hook anywhere and completely change the behavior. It also allows two extensions to stack on the same hook where there are no conflicts.

I believe Pi extensibility is the most important feature, exactly as how it was important for WordPress. WordPress won because anyone could install it and add the plugins they needed. WordPress also has the same hook system where multiple plugins can build on the same hook.

Companies will want to completely customize their agent harness so it optimally works for their situation.

I'm actually very close to being ready to release exactly that also in rust. I completely agree with your statement, extensibility is the most importnat feature.

The two things I want to get right before actually releasing it is properly eval it againt other harnesses and make sure its better.

And the licence. I don't think a GPL licence will yield addoption so I would like to MIT Roder or figure out the right licence

The most important feature of Pi is that it is small, and has small system prompt, making it great for locall LLMs.
