Problem
I often use workflows where a small-model implementer works in a loop with a large-model reviewer until the reviewer is happy.
Each
agent()call currently starts with a fresh conversation history. The implementer has to reconstruct its context every turn, which burns tokens and can make review loops slow or fail to converge.Change
This adds an optional
threadtoagent(). Calls using the same thread name re-enter the same Pi session with its full conversation history and session ID:Threads are scoped to one workflow invocation. Calls on the same thread must be sequential, while unthreaded agents continue to start fresh sessions.
I also considered explicit continuation handles and retaining live
AgentSessionobjects. Named threads keep the existingagent()return value and only retain the underlying session state needed for re-entry.Testing
