The Message Queue — Talking While Pi Thinks

Pi doesn't make you wait for the agent to finish before sending more instructions. You can queue messages while the agent is streaming:

Key Behavior
Enter Queue a steering message — delivered after current tool, interrupts remaining tools
Alt+Enter Queue a follow-up message — delivered after agent finishes all work
Escape Abort the agent and restore queued messages to editor
Alt+Up Retrieve queued messages back to editor

Steering is for course-correction: "Stop, do this instead." The message is delivered after the current tool finishes, but remaining tool calls in the LLM's response are skipped.

Follow-up is for chaining: "After you're done with that, also do this." The message waits until the agent has no more tool calls to make.

Settings:

  • steeringMode: "one-at-a-time" (default) or "all" (deliver all queued at once)
  • followUpMode: same options
