pi-lean-edit
Safer, cheaper edits by verifying prior reads in the harness instead of the prompt. Lets the harness verify the model already read the latest text it wants to edit, avoiding old-text replay and hash-decorated reads.
Install
pi install npm:pi-lean-edit
Installs from npm into ~/.pi/agent/.
Add -l for project-local (.pi/). Manage with pi list / pi update / pi remove.
What this package can reach
Detected automatically from the source at
version 0.2.1.
This describes access, not safety — you decide whether it's appropriate for what
the package claims to do.
- Behavior — Changes how the agent thinks Modifies the system prompt, injects messages, or rewrites conversation context.
- Files — Reads files outside your project Touches paths beyond the working directory, such as your home folder.
- Tool override — Replaces pi's built-in tools Intercepts built-ins like bash, edit, read or write — sees and can rewrite every use.
- New tools — Adds model-callable tools Gives the agent new abilities. Additive and visible, unlike an override.
- UI — Draws its own interface Renders widgets, footers, dialogs or full-screen views.
What it actually did when run
observedLoaded in a sandbox with no network, a read-only filesystem and a recording stand-in for pi's API. This is what it called — not what the source suggests it might.
Replaces pi's built-in tools: read, edit, write.
Every use of those tools goes through this
package instead of pi.
