# Pi Agent Setup
How to use planning-with-files with [Pi Coding Agent](https://pi.dev).
---
## Installation
### Pi Install
```bash
pi install npm:pi-planning-with-files
```
### Manual Install
1. Navigate to your project root.
2. Create the `.pi/skills` directory if it doesn't exist.
3. Copy the `planning-with-files` skill.
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
# Copy the skill
mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent/skills
cp -r planning-with-files/.pi/skills/planning-with-files .pi/skills/
```
---
## Usage
Pi Agent automatically discovers skills in `.pi/skills`.
To use the skill, you can explicitly invoke it or let Pi discover it based on the task description.
### Explicit Invocation
```bash
/skill:planning-with-files
```
Or just ask Pi:
```
Use the planning-with-files skill to help me with this task.
```

## Important Limitations
> **Note:** Hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop) are **Claude Code specific** and are not currently supported in Pi Agent.
### What works in Pi Agent:
- Core 3-file planning pattern
- Templates (task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md)
- All planning rules and guidelines
- The 2-Action Rule
- The 3-Strike Error Protocol
- Read vs Write Decision Matrix
- Helper scripts (via explicit invocation or skill instructions)
### What works differently:
- **Session Recovery:** You must manually run the catchup script if needed:
```bash
python3 .pi/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/session-catchup.py .
```
(The skill provides instructions for this)
---
## Manual Workflow
Since hooks don't run automatically, follow the pattern:
### 1. Create planning files first
The skill instructions will guide Pi to create these files.
If not, ask:
```
Start by creating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md using the planning-with-files templates.
```
### 2. Re-read plan before decisions
Periodically ask:
```
Read task_plan.md to refresh our context.
```
### 3. Update files after phases
After completing a phase:
```
Update task_plan.md to mark this phase complete.
Update progress.md with what was done.
```

## File Structure
```

```

## Troubleshooting
If Pi doesn't seem to follow the planning rules:
1. Ensure the skill is loaded (ask "What skills do you have available?").
2. Explicitly ask it to read the `SKILL.md` file: `Read .pi/skills/planning-with-files/SKILL.md`.
3. Use the `/skill:planning-with-files` command if enabled.
