little-coder
A coding agent tuned for small, locally run language models, built as a curated bundle of extensions and skills on top of the pi agent substrate.
little-coder is a coding agent for small, locally run language models, built on top of pi, a minimal agent substrate that supplies the agent loop, a multi-provider API, a terminal UI, session tree, context compaction and an extension model with four built-in tools.
It adds roughly 30 extensions, 30 skill markdown files and a Python benchmark harness on top of plain pi, without forking it: pi stays a normal dependency, and little-coder-specific code lives in its own extensions, skills and benchmarks directories. The launcher starts pi with only its bundled extension set enabled, which keeps the cold-start context small and behavior predictable, since nothing in the working directory changes what loads.
A globally installed pi extension does not load by default for this reason; opting back in is possible through a local extensions folder, an environment variable pointing at extra extension files, or a flag that lets pi discover its own installed extensions.
