Introduction to Pi
Pi is a coding agent you talk to in your terminal. This beginner course puts you in a live terminal with the real `pi` command and a small starter project. You will fix a real bug, learn the handful of keys that keep an agent on track, and then shape pi to your own work with a project rules file, a slash command you write yourself, and a skill it can follow. No API key and no prior agent experience needed.
