* feat(coding-agent): add input event for extension input interception
Extensions can now intercept, transform, or handle user input before the
agent processes it. Three result types: continue (pass through), transform
(modify text/images), handled (respond without LLM). Handlers chain
transforms and short-circuit on handled. Source field identifies origin.
* fix: make source public, use if/else over ternary
* fix: remove response field, extension handles own UI
Breaking change: pi.getAllTools() now returns Array<{ name, description }>
instead of string[]. Extensions needing just names can use .map(t => t.name).
Removes redundant getToolInfo() method added in original PR.
Fixes#647
- Add SessionInfoEntry type for session metadata
- Add /name <name> command to set session display name
- Add pi.setSessionName() and pi.getSessionName() extension API
- Session selector shows name (in warning color) instead of first message when set
- Session name included in fuzzy search
- /session command displays name when set
closes#650
- Replace per-extension closures with shared ExtensionRuntime
- Split context actions: ExtensionContextActions (required) + ExtensionCommandContextActions (optional)
- Rename LoadedExtension to Extension, remove setter methods
- Change runner.initialize() from options object to positional params
- Derive hasUI from uiContext presence (no separate param)
- Add warning when extensions override built-in tools
- RPC and print modes now provide full command context actions
BREAKING CHANGE: Extension system types and initialization API changed.
See CHANGELOG.md for migration details.
- ExtensionAPI: setModel(), getThinkingLevel(), setThinkingLevel() methods
- New preset.ts example with plan/implement presets for model/thinking/tools switching
- Export all UI components from pi-coding-agent for extension use
- docs/tui.md: Common Patterns section with copy-paste code for SelectList, BorderedLoader, SettingsList, setStatus, setWidget, setFooter
- docs/tui.md: Key Rules section for extension UI development
- docs/extensions.md: Exhaustive example links for all ExtensionAPI methods and events
- System prompt now references docs/tui.md for TUI development
Fixes#509, relates to #347
Adds sendUserMessage() to the extension API, allowing extensions to send
actual user messages (role: user) rather than custom messages. Unlike
sendMessage(), this always triggers a turn and behaves as if the user
typed the message.
- Add SendUserMessageHandler type and sendUserMessage() to ExtensionAPI
- Wire handler through loader, runner, and all modes
- Implement via prompt() with expandPromptTemplates: false
- Add send-user-message.ts example with /ask, /steer, /followup commands
- Document in extensions.md
fixes#483
Breaking changes:
- Settings: 'hooks' and 'customTools' arrays replaced with 'extensions'
- CLI: '--hook' and '--tool' flags replaced with '--extension' / '-e'
- API: HookMessage renamed to CustomMessage, role 'hookMessage' to 'custom'
- API: FileSlashCommand renamed to PromptTemplate
- API: discoverSlashCommands() renamed to discoverPromptTemplates()
- Directories: commands/ renamed to prompts/ for prompt templates
Migration:
- Session version bumped to 3 (auto-migrates v2 sessions)
- Old 'hookMessage' role entries converted to 'custom'
Structural changes:
- src/core/hooks/ and src/core/custom-tools/ merged into src/core/extensions/
- src/core/slash-commands.ts renamed to src/core/prompt-templates.ts
- examples/hooks/ and examples/custom-tools/ merged into examples/extensions/
- docs/hooks.md and docs/custom-tools.md merged into docs/extensions.md
New test coverage:
- test/extensions-runner.test.ts (10 tests)
- test/extensions-discovery.test.ts (26 tests)
- test/prompt-templates.test.ts
- Add pi.getTools() and pi.setTools(toolNames) to HookAPI
- Hooks can now enable/disable tools dynamically
- Changes take effect on next agent turn
New example hook: plan-mode.ts
- Claude Code-style read-only exploration mode
- /plan command toggles plan mode on/off
- Plan mode tools: read, bash, grep, find, ls
- Edit/write tools disabled in plan mode
- Injects context telling agent about restrictions
- After each response, prompts to execute/stay/refine
- State persists across sessions
- pi.sendMessage(msg, options?) now accepts { triggerTurn?, deliverAs? }
- deliverAs: 'steer' (default) or 'followUp' controls delivery timing
- Update all mode handlers to pass options through
- Update file-trigger example to use new API
- Update CHANGELOG
- Rename queueMessage to steer(), add followUp()
- Split _pendingMessages into _steeringMessages and _followUpMessages
- Update sendHookMessage to accept deliverAs option
- Rename hasQueuedMessages to hasPendingMessages
- Rename queuedMessageCount to pendingMessageCount
- Update clearQueue() return type to { steering, followUp }
- Update UI to show steering vs follow-up messages differently
WIP: settings-manager, sdk, interactive-mode, rpc-mode still need updates
CustomToolContext now has:
- isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- hasQueuedMessages() - check if user has queued messages
- abort() - abort current operation (fire-and-forget)
Changed abort() signature from Promise<void> to void in both
HookContext and CustomToolContext. The abort is fire-and-forget:
it calls session.abort() without awaiting, so the abort signal
is set immediately while waitForIdle() runs in the background.
Fixes#388
- CustomAgentTool renamed to CustomTool
- ToolAPI renamed to CustomToolAPI
- ToolContext renamed to CustomToolContext
- ToolSessionEvent renamed to CustomToolSessionEvent
- Added CustomToolContext parameter to execute() and onSession()
- CustomToolFactory now returns CustomTool<any, any> for type compatibility
- dispose() replaced with onSession({ reason: 'shutdown' })
- Added wrapCustomTool() to convert CustomTool to AgentTool
- Session exposes setToolUIContext() instead of leaking internals
- Fix ToolExecutionComponent to sync with toolOutputExpanded state
- Update all custom tool examples for new API
Major changes:
- Replace monolithic SessionEvent with reason discriminator with individual
event types: session_start, session_before_switch, session_switch,
session_before_new, session_new, session_before_branch, session_branch,
session_before_compact, session_compact, session_shutdown
- Each event has dedicated result type (SessionBeforeSwitchResult, etc.)
- HookHandler type now allows bare return statements (void in return type)
- HookAPI.on() has proper overloads for each event with correct typing
Additional fixes:
- AgentSession now always subscribes to agent in constructor (was only
subscribing when external subscribe() called, breaking internal handlers)
- Standardize on undefined over null throughout codebase
- HookUIContext methods return undefined instead of null
- SessionManager methods return undefined instead of null
- Simplify hook exports to 'export type * from types.js'
- Add detailed JSDoc for skipConversationRestore vs cancel
- Fix createBranchedSession to rebuild index in persist mode
- newSession() now returns the session file path
Updated all example hooks, tests, and emission sites to use new event types.
- Removed Attachment from agent package (now in web-ui/coding-agent)
- Agent.prompt now takes (text, images?: ImageContent[])
- Removed transports from web-ui (duplicate of agent package)
- Updated coding-agent to use local message types
- Updated mom package for new agent API
Remaining: Fix AgentInterface.ts to compose UserMessageWithAttachments
Breaking changes to Hook API:
- pi.send(text, attachments?) replaced with pi.sendMessage(message, triggerTurn?)
- Creates CustomMessageEntry instead of user messages
- Properly handles queuing during streaming via agent loop
- Supports optional turn triggering when idle
- New pi.appendEntry(customType, data?) for hook state persistence
- New pi.registerCommand(name, options) for custom slash commands
- Handler types renamed: SendHandler -> SendMessageHandler, new AppendEntryHandler
Implementation:
- AgentSession.sendHookMessage() handles all three cases:
- Streaming: queues message with _hookData marker, agent loop processes it
- Not streaming + triggerTurn: appends to state/session, calls agent.continue()
- Not streaming + no trigger: appends to state/session only
- message_end handler routes based on _hookData presence to correct persistence
- HookRunner gains getRegisteredCommands() and getCommand() methods
New types: HookMessage<T>, RegisteredCommand, CommandContext
Breaking changes:
- Custom tools now require index.ts entry point in subdirectory
(e.g., tools/mytool/index.ts instead of tools/mytool.ts)
Subagent tool improvements:
- Refactored to use Message[] from ai package instead of custom types
- Extracted agent discovery to separate agents.ts module
- Added parallel mode streaming (shows progress from all tasks)
- Added turn count to usage stats footer
- Removed redundant Query section from scout output
Fixes:
- JSON mode stdout flush: Fixed race condition where pi --mode json
could exit before all output was written, causing consumers to
miss final events
Also:
- Added signal/timeout support to pi.exec() for custom tools and hooks
- Renamed pi-pods bin to avoid conflict with pi
- Custom tools: TypeScript modules that extend pi with new tools
- Custom TUI rendering via renderCall/renderResult
- User interaction via pi.ui (select, confirm, input, notify)
- Session lifecycle via onSession callback for state reconstruction
- Examples: todo.ts, question.ts, hello.ts
- Hook examples: permission-gate, git-checkpoint, protected-paths
- Session lifecycle centralized in AgentSession
- Works across all modes (interactive, print, RPC)
- Unified session event for hooks (replaces session_start/session_switch)
- Box component added to pi-tui
- Examples bundled in npm and binary releases
Fixes#190
