Demonstrates running interactive commands (vim, git rebase, htop, etc.)
with full terminal access using user_bash event and ctx.ui.custom().
- Auto-detects interactive commands from built-in list
- !i prefix to force interactive mode
- Configurable via INTERACTIVE_COMMANDS/INTERACTIVE_EXCLUDE env vars
closes#532
The --no-skills flag set options.skills = [] in main.ts, but the
interactive mode UI would rediscover skills anyway because it called
loadSkills() directly instead of using the already-loaded skills.
Changes:
- Add AgentSession.skills and AgentSession.skillWarnings properties
- discoverSkills() now returns { skills, warnings } instead of Skill[]
- Interactive mode uses session.skills instead of calling loadSkills()
- Update SDK docs and examples for new return type
Fixes#577
Adds overlay rendering capability to the TUI, enabling floating modal
components that render on top of existing content without clearing the screen.
- Add showOverlay(), hideOverlay(), hasOverlay() methods to TUI
- Implement ANSI-aware line compositing via extractSegments()
- Support overlay stack (multiple overlays, later on top)
- Add { overlay: true } option to ctx.ui.custom()
- Add overlay-test.ts example extension
Also fixes pre-existing bug where bash tool output cached visual lines
at fixed terminal width, causing crashes on terminal resize.

- user_bash event for intercepting ! and !! commands (#528)
- Extensions can return { operations } or { result } to redirect/replace
- executeBashWithOperations() for custom BashOperations execution
- session.recordBashResult() for extensions handling bash themselves
- Theme API: getAllThemes(), getTheme(), setTheme() on ctx.ui
- mac-system-theme.ts example: sync with macOS dark/light mode
- Updated ssh.ts to use user_bash event
- Remove <thinking> tag generation from google-shared.ts, transorm-messages.ts, openai-completions.ts
- Thinking blocks now convert to plain text when switching models (prevents models mimicking tags)
- Skip empty thinking blocks to avoid API errors
- Keep thinking blocks only when same provider AND same model
fixes#561
When passing a string systemPrompt to createAgentSession(), it is now
used as-is without appending context files and skills. This matches the
documented behavior: 'String replaces default, function receives default
and returns final.'
Previously, string systemPrompt would have context files and skills
appended, causing duplication if they were already in the string.
fixes#543
- Add systemPrompt to BeforeAgentStartEvent so extensions can see current prompt
- Change systemPromptAppend to systemPrompt in BeforeAgentStartEventResult for full replacement
- Extensions can now chain modifications (each sees the result of previous)
- Update ssh.ts to replace local cwd with remote cwd in system prompt
- Update pirate.ts, claude-rules.ts, preset.ts to use new API
fixes#575
- Add setActiveTools() to ExtensionAPI for dynamic tool management
- Extensions can now override, wrap, or disable built-in tools
- Add tool-override.ts example demonstrating the pattern
- Update documentation for tool override capabilities
Add --no-tools flag that allows starting pi without any built-in tools,
enabling extension-only tool setups (e.g., pi-ssh-remote).
- Add --no-tools flag to CLI args parsing
- Handle --tools '' (empty string) as equivalent to no tools
- Fix system prompt to not show READ-ONLY mode when no tools (extensions may provide write capabilities)
- Add tests for new flag and system prompt behavior
fixes#555
Adds --no-extensions CLI flag that skips automatic extension discovery
while still allowing explicit -e paths. Three modes now available:
1. Default: auto-discover + any -e additions
2. --no-extensions: no extensions at all
3. --no-extensions -e foo.js: only load explicit extensions
Useful for debugging or running subagent instances without auto-discovered
extensions.
closes#524
Skip new version check at startup when set. Useful for Nix or other
package manager installs where npm install is not used.
Also documents PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR and other environment variables
in the README.
closes#549

- 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.
When enabledModels is configured without thinking level suffixes (e.g.,
'claude-opus-4-5' instead of 'claude-opus-4-5:high'), the scoped model's
default 'off' thinking level was overriding defaultThinkingLevel from
settings.
Now thinkingLevel in ScopedModel is optional (undefined means 'not
explicitly specified'). When passing to SDK, undefined values are filled
with defaultThinkingLevel from settings.
Extension UI dialogs (select, confirm, input) now support a timeout option
that auto-dismisses with a live countdown display. Simpler alternative to
manually managing AbortSignal for timed dialogs.
Also adds ExtensionUIDialogOptions type export and updates RPC mode to
forward timeout to clients.
