Pi IDE Bridge connects the Pi coding agent to VS Code. Pi pauses before touching your files, opens a native diff, and waits for you to approve or reject. It also feeds your current editor state into Pi automatically so the agent always knows what you are looking at.
What you get
Change review — Pi shows every proposed file edit as a VS Code diff before anything is written to disk. You approve or reject.
Auto-accept mode — press F8 to let Pi apply edits without pausing. Press F8 again to switch back to review mode.
Editor context — Pi automatically knows which files you have open, which is active, where your cursor is, and what text you have selected.
Diagnostics on demand — Pi can query VS Code's current errors and warnings via the get_ide_diagnostics tool, scoped to the active file, a specific file, or all open files.
