The Pi project
Cheasee-Pi stands on the shoulders of the Pi coding agent — the extensible AI coding harness that makes all of this possible. Pi’s extension API, prompt template system, and modular architecture are the foundation of this project.
Runtime & tools
- scrapling — Memory-optimized web scraper with progressive fetching
- rtk — Token-saving CLI proxy that rewrites agent shell commands for 60-90% less output
- Zed — The editor
Agent best practices
- shanraisshan/claude-code-best-practice (52k ★) — Agentic engineering patterns, context management, sub-agent workflows
- ciembor/agent-rules-books (1.3k ★) — AI agent rules distilled from classic software engineering books:
- Architect agent: Clean Architecture (R. Martin), PEAA (M. Fowler), A Philosophy of Software Design (J. Ousterhout)
- Developer agent: Clean Code (R. Martin), Code Complete (S. McConnell), The Pragmatic Programmer (Hunt & Thomas)
- WoJiSama/skill-based-architecture (224 ★) — AI agent rule system lifecycle
- charles-adedotun/claude-code-sub-agents (30 ★) — Agent-architect bootstrapper pattern
