TENET — Documentation

Pi is a minimal terminal coding agent that TENET extends with tools, memory, journal, eval, and the startup briefing.

How It Works

TENET ships as a Pi package (@10et-ai/pi). When Pi starts in a TENET project, the extension:

Replaces the header with branded TENET identity (project name, branch, system indicators)
Runs the SATOR boot animation with live system probes
Registers 21+ tools (tenet_context, tenet_memory_search, tenet_eval_status, etc.)
Fires the startup briefing — steers the model to produce a concise project briefing
Journals every significant action automatically

Tools Available in Pi

Tool	What it does
`tenet_context`	Get project context (journals, knowledge, code headers)
`tenet_memory_search`	Search across all indexed memories
`tenet_memory_add`	Add a memory manually
`tenet_memory_status`	Check memory system health
`tenet_hud`	Project dashboard
`tenet_synopsis`	Work summary across sessions
`tenet_pivot`	Checkpoint current work
`tenet_eval_status`	Current eval scores and trends
`tenet_policy_score`	Score a candidate action via policy head
`tenet_crm`	CRM pipeline queries
`tenet_service`	Query registered services

Session Lifecycle

Pi starts
  → TENET header renders
  → SATOR boot animation + system probes
  → Startup briefing steer fires (triggerTurn: true)
  → Model produces concise greeting
  → User works (tools available, journal auto-captures)
  → /end → session branch merged to main → synopsis shown

Configuration

In .tenet/config.json:

{
  "pi": {
    "provider": "anthropic",
