Pi Tool Mapping

Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On Pi these resolve to the tools below.

Action skills request Pi equivalent
Dispatch a subagent (Subagent (general-purpose): template) Use an installed subagent tool such as subagent from pi-subagents if available
Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") Use an installed todo/task tool if available, otherwise track tasks in the plan or TODO.md

Subagents

Pi core does not ship a standard subagent tool. The pi-subagents package is a strong optional companion and provides a subagent tool with single-agent, chain, parallel, async, forked-context, and resume/status workflows. If no subagent tool is available, do not fabricate Task calls; execute sequentially in the current session or explain that the optional subagent capability is not installed.

Task lists

Pi core does not ship a standard task-list tool. If a todo/task extension is installed, use its documented tool. Otherwise use Superpowers plan files, checklists in Markdown, or a repo-local TODO.md for task tracking. Older Superpowers docs may refer to TodoWrite; treat that as the task-tracking action above.
