A custom provider for [pi](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi) that connects to the [Command Code](https://commandcode.ai) Provider API.
> **Disclaimer:** This is an unofficial, community-maintained integration. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Command Code. You need your own Command Code account, API key, and a plan with Provider API access. Command Code's terms, availability, and pricing apply.
## Install
```sh
pi install npm:pi-commandcode-provider
```
Start or reload pi, then authenticate:
```txt
/login
```
Select **Use a subscription**, then **Command Code**. Choose browser login or paste an API key, then select a model with `/model`.
## Oh My Pi
Install the same package in [Oh My Pi](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi):
```sh
omp plugin install pi-commandcode-provider
```
Restart OMP or run `/reload`, then use `/login` and select **Use a subscription** followed by **Command Code**.
## Authentication
### Login dialog
Run `/login` in pi or OMP. Select **Use a subscription**, then **Command Code**. Press Enter for browser login, type `key` to open a paste prompt, or paste the API key directly. The selected credential is stored in the host's auth file.
If automatic transfer from the browser fails, copy the API key shown by Command Code and paste it into the terminal prompt.
### Environment variable
```sh
export COMMAND_CODE_API_KEY="user_..."
```
### Auth file
The provider also reads existing credentials from:
- `~/.commandcode/auth.json`
- `~/.pi/agent/auth.json`
- `~/.omp/agent/auth.json`
Supported examples:
```json
{
"apiKey": "user_..."
}
```
```json
{
"command-code": {
"type": "api",
"key": "user_..."
}
}
```
```json
{
"commandcode": "user_..."
}
```
## Usage
Open `/model` and select one of the models provided by Command Code. Model availability changes over time and is refreshed from the Provider API when the extension loads.
### Reasoning support
Reasoning capability and selectable effort levels follow the official CLI catalog independently. Models can therefore be marked as reasoning-capable even when Command Code chooses their depth automatically. Models with explicit effort support also register a model-specific `thinkingLevelMap`, so pi and OMP expose only valid levels. Pi's native OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible providers translate the selected level for Provider API accounts; the existing Command Code generate transport sends the matching `reasoning_effort` for Go accounts.
List Command Code models from the terminal:
```sh
pi --list-models commandcode
```
In OMP, use:
```sh
omp models
```
For non-interactive OMP requests, use a provider-qualified model ID shown by `omp models`. For example:
```sh
omp -p "hello" --model commandcode/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
```
## Model discovery and offline behavior
The provider fetches the current model catalog from:
```txt
https://api.commandcode.ai/provider/v1/models
```
The last successful catalog is cached at `/commandcode-models.json`. For pi this is `~/.pi/agent/commandcode-models.json` by default. Compatible hosts such as OMP use their own agent directory.
If the endpoint is temporarily unavailable, the provider uses the cached catalog. On a first offline start without a cache, pi still loads, but Command Code models remain unavailable until the connection is restored and `/commandcode-refresh` succeeds.
While pi is running, use these provider commands without restarting:
- `/commandcode-refresh` fetches and re-registers the current model catalog. Overlapping refreshes are coalesced, and a failed refresh keeps the last valid catalog active.
- `/commandcode-status` shows redacted discovery diagnostics, including the source, model count, timestamps, cache path, endpoint, and warning.
- `/commandcode-quota` shows your Command Code account usage and quota in a dashboard-style layout: credits remaining and used with a percentage, monthly/purchased/free sources, the current plan, available usage totals, the API key name, and the 5-hour and weekly usage windows.
The `commandcode-quota` command reads from the Command Code alpha usage endpoints (the same ones the `cmd` CLI `/usage` command uses): `whoami`, `billing/credits`, `billing/subscriptions`, and `usage/summary`. It authenticates with the same API key the provider already uses. If the command cannot reach those endpoints or an endpoint schema changes, unavailable sections are reported explicitly instead of being displayed as zero usage. Output is plain text (via `ui.notify`) so it works across pi and compatible hosts such as OMP.
Set `CMD_ZDR=1` to send Command Code's documented `x-cmd-zdr: 1` zero-data-retention header. The legacy `COMMANDCODE_ZDR=1` alias remains supported.
The following environment variables are intended for tests, local mocks, and compatible API endpoints:
- `COMMANDCODE_API_BASE`
- `COMMANDCODE_MODELS_URL`
- `COMMANDCODE_MODELS_CACHE`
- `COMMANDCODE_MODELS_TIMEOUT_MS` (defaults to 10 seconds; invalid or non-positive values use the default)
## Image input
The provider advertises image input only for models marked with the `image` input modality in the official Command Code CLI model catalog. The capability snapshot currently follows `command-code@1.36.0`; unknown models default to text-only until their upstream metadata is reviewed. A daily GitHub Actions job synchronizes the CLI version, image capabilities, reasoning flags, reasoning efforts, and model-specific output limits with the latest published CLI package and opens or updates a reviewable pull request when they change. Pricing remains manually reviewed because temporary promotions and long-context tiers require explicit review.
For vision-capable models, Pi's native provider adapters forward image blocks from user messages and tool results using the documented OpenAI or Anthropic message schema. Unknown and text-only models remain marked text-only in Pi.
## Pricing display
The Command Code Provider API does not currently include prices in its model catalog. This extension therefore keeps a static table for models with known prices so pi can display estimated request costs. DeepSeek V4 uses time-dependent rates; pi displays the documented off-peak rate, which applies for 17 hours per day.
Models missing from that table display zero cost in pi. This does **not** mean that Command Code will bill the request at zero. The Command Code Usage page remains authoritative for each request. Check the current [Command Code pricing](https://commandcode.ai/docs/resources/pricing-limits) before relying on the displayed value.
## Update and remove
Update installed pi packages:
```sh
pi update --extensions
```
Remove the provider:
```sh
pi remove npm:pi-commandcode-provider
```
For OMP:
```sh
omp plugin upgrade pi-commandcode-provider
omp plugin uninstall pi-commandcode-provider
```
## Development
Start an isolated pi instance with only the current checkout installed and no existing Command Code credentials:
```sh
npm run pi:isolated
```
Run `/login` inside pi. Temporary credentials, configuration, and sessions are deleted when pi exits.
Start the current checkout with your existing pi credentials and only Command Code models in the model picker:
```sh
npm run pi:authenticated
```
Both commands accept additional pi arguments after `--`, for example `npm run pi:authenticated -- --model claude-sonnet-4-6`.
### Live transport tests
Keep Go-, GOAT-, and optional Provider-plan test keys in separate secret-manager entries. Pass them through protected files so the keys do not enter shell history:
```sh
COMMANDCODE_E2E_GO_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/go-key \
npm run test:e2e:live:go
COMMANDCODE_E2E_GOAT_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/goat-key \
npm run test:e2e:live:goat
COMMANDCODE_E2E_PROVIDER_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/provider-key \
npm run test:e2e:live:provider
COMMANDCODE_E2E_GO_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/go-key \
COMMANDCODE_E2E_GOAT_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/goat-key \
npm run test:e2e:live:all
```
Each profile runs with an isolated Pi agent directory and asserts transport selection, reasoning across turns, quota plan identity, abort handling, tool calls, and the packed npm artifact. Go must select `generate` and reject unsupported images; GOAT must select `provider` and complete a live vision request. The profile-specific `*_API_KEY` environment variables are also supported for CI secrets, but key files are preferred for local use.
The Go profile defaults to DeepSeek V4 Flash; GOAT defaults to Grok 4.6 because its Provider API stream exposes reasoning consistently across consecutive turns. Override them with `COMMANDCODE_E2E_GO_MODEL`, `COMMANDCODE_E2E_GOAT_MODEL`, or `COMMANDCODE_E2E_PROVIDER_MODEL`. A successful live Anthropic `/provider/v1/messages` test requires a paid account whose plan includes the selected Claude model.
