@anh-chu/pi-subagents — DEPRECATED

Use @tintinweb/pi-subagents instead.

This fork is no longer maintained. Upstream has outpaced us — token tracking, persistent settings, scheduled subagents, proper context isolation, and active maintenance from a broader contributor base. We can't keep up.

What we've done

Our unique features have been submitted upstream as PRs:

• Chain mode — sequential agent execution with {previous} placeholder (#53)
• Dynamic routing guidelines — Agent tool description auto-generated from agent configs (#52)
• Card grid widget — card-grid layout for /agents with /agents-view toggle (#54)

Once these land upstream (or are rejected with finality), there is zero reason to use this fork.

Migrating

# In your pi settings.json, replace:
#   "@anh-chu/pi-subagents"  →  "@tintinweb/pi-subagents"
npm uninstall -g @anh-chu/pi-subagents
npm install -g @tintinweb/pi-subagents

Your custom agents (.pi/agents/*.md) and settings continue to work. The parent-bridge tools (message_parent, ask_parent, reply_to_subagent) were never used in practice — if you relied on them, open an issue upstream.

Why

We aggregated four forks (tintinweb, yzlin, Evizero, elidickinson) into one. That was useful in March 2026 when each fork had a different piece of the puzzle. By May 2026, upstream absorbed most of the ecosystem's improvements and added its own. Maintaining a 71-commit fork that can't clean-merge upstream is self-defeating. We're shutting it down.
