Open-source 'Pi Blue Book' distills two months of Pi agent learning into five essential resources

A Chinese developer has open-sourced a 'Pi Blue Book' — a Chinese-language learning guide distilling two months of hands-on experience with the Pi coding agent, including ten lessons and a curated plugin list.
The author also recommends five core resources for learning Pi:
- The Blue Book: beginner-friendly docs covering install, basics, Session, Context, plugins, and advanced topics
- Official site: first stop for docs, releases, and changelogs
- Skill + Extension docs: Skills encode repeatable workflows; Extensions add runtime capabilities like tools, commands, status bar, and permission interception
- Plugin marketplace: search for plugins, Skills, and Themes
- Source code: for digging into Session, Context, Codemode, MCP, and Durable internals
The author stresses practice over hoarding links, and notes the project was rewritten twice — once to turn a manual into a proper book, once to redesign the UI.
