Pi Development Workflow

This guide summarizes a sane workflow for working on the pi integration in OpenClaw.

​
Type Checking and Linting

  • Type check and build: pnpm build
  • Lint: pnpm lint
  • Format check: pnpm format
  • Full gate before pushing: pnpm lint && pnpm build && pnpm test

​
Running Pi Tests

Run the Pi-focused test set directly with Vitest: 
pnpm test -- \
  "src/agents/pi-*.test.ts" \
  "src/agents/pi-embedded-*.test.ts" \
  "src/agents/pi-tools*.test.ts" \
  "src/agents/pi-settings.test.ts" \
  "src/agents/pi-tool-definition-adapter*.test.ts" \
  "src/agents/pi-extensions/**/*.test.ts"
To include the live provider exercise: 
OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1 pnpm test -- src/agents/pi-embedded-runner-extraparams.live.test.ts
This covers the main Pi unit suites:
  • src/agents/pi-*.test.ts
  • src/agents/pi-embedded-*.test.ts
  • src/agents/pi-tools*.test.ts
  • src/agents/pi-settings.test.ts
  • src/agents/pi-tool-definition-adapter.test.ts
  • src/agents/pi-extensions/*.test.ts

​
Manual Testing

Recommended flow:
  • Run the gateway in dev mode:
    • pnpm gateway:dev
  • Trigger the agent directly:
    • pnpm openclaw agent --message "Hello" --thinking low
  • Use the TUI for interactive debugging:
    • pnpm tui
For tool call behavior, prompt for a read or exec action so you can see tool streaming and payload handling.

​
Clean Slate Reset

State lives under the OpenClaw state directory. Default is ~/.openclaw. If OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR is set, use that directory instead. To reset everything:
  • openclaw.json for config
  • credentials/ for auth profiles and tokens
  • agents/<agentId>/sessions/ for agent session history
  • agents/<agentId>/sessions.json for the session index
  • sessions/ if legacy paths exist
  • workspace/ if you want a blank workspace
If you only want to reset sessions, delete agents/<agentId>/sessions/ and agents/<agentId>/sessions.json for that agent. Keep credentials/ if you do not want to reauthenticate.
