pip install openai
- Commands
- Concepts
- A shell command that downloads and installs the official OpenAI Python library, which you can also use to talk to Groq because Groq's API follows the same format.

- Objects
- A ready‑made object that takes text input and returns spoken audio when you call it like a function.
Piper
- Backend
- An open‑source text‑to‑speech service that the plugin can call over HTTP to generate speech using only the CPU.
PIV loop
- Concepts
- Plan → Implement → Validate: plan in a fresh context, implement, then prove the work with checks that must pass.
plan
- Concepts
- A permission mode where Claude reads files and runs shell commands to explore your codebase, but cannot edit source files until you approve its proposed plan.
Plan mode
- Concepts
- Features
- An agent mode where the agent first produces a written implementation plan for you to inspect and approve before it starts making any changes to your code.
2 other definitions
Plan mode · Concepts
Lovable's reasoning mode for exploring ideas, comparing approaches, and reviewing plans without modifying any code.Plan mode · Features
A built-in primary agent (switched to with the Tab key) where opencode is restricted from making file changes, so it analyses and describes how it would approach a task without touching your code. plan-then-work
- How it works
- Cowork first shows a step-by-step plan for you to review and approve, then executes it — so you stay in control before it touches anything.
Playground
- Concepts
- Langflow's live testing panel where you message a flow and watch the agent's step-by-step reasoning and tool choices in real time.
Plugin
- Components
- Features
- Core
- An add-on that gives an app a new feature without changing the app itself. Install plugins only from sources you trust, because they run with the app's access.

- Interface
- Settings window where you choose source documents, speakers, and tone before generating audio.
PointStruct
- Concepts
- The data structure that holds an ID, a vector, and optional extra information (payload) for each item stored in Quadrant.
Port

PowerShell
- Interface
- A command‑line interface built into Windows for running scripts and commands.

progressive disclosure
- Concepts
- How agents keep many skills cheap: at startup they read only each skill name and description, and load the full instructions only when a task needs them.
