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
When aborting a retry attempt, surface the retry-aware abort message
in the assistant output and tool results instead of a generic "Aborted".
- Set errorMessage for aborted streaming messages
- Render abort message without forcing a leading newline when no content
Three related fixes:
1. google-gemini-cli: Handle abort signal in stream reading loop
- Add abort event listener to cancel reader immediately when signal fires
- Fix AbortError detection in retry catch block (fetch throws AbortError,
not our custom message)
- Swallow reader.cancel() rejection to avoid unhandled promise
2. agent-session: Fix retry attempt counter showing 0 on cancel
- abortRetry() was resetting _retryAttempt before the catch block could
read it for the error message
3. interactive-mode: Restore main escape handler on agent_start
- When auto-retry starts, onEscape is replaced with retry-specific handler
- auto_retry_end (which restores it) fires on turn_end, after streaming begins
- Now restore immediately on agent_start if retry handler is still active
Amended: suppress reader.cancel() rejection on abort.
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.

- 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.
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.
- 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
Extensions can now replace the built-in footer with a custom component:
- setFooter(factory) replaces with custom component
- setFooter(undefined) restores built-in footer
Includes example extension demonstrating context usage display.
Closes#481
Messages submitted during compaction are queued and delivered after
compaction completes, preserving steer vs follow-up behavior. Extension
commands execute immediately during compaction.

Windows Terminal does not support the Kitty keyboard protocol, so
Shift+Enter cannot be distinguished from Enter. Document that users
should use Ctrl+Enter for multi-line input instead.
- Add Windows Terminal note in Terminal Setup section
- Update Keyboard Shortcuts table with Windows note
- Show Windows-specific hint in /hotkeys command
- Add LoginDialogComponent with proper borders (top/bottom DynamicBorder)
- Refactor all OAuth providers to use racing approach (browser callback vs manual paste)
- Add onEscape handler to Input component for cancellation
- Add abortable sleep for GitHub Copilot polling (instant cancel on Escape)
- Show OS-specific click hint (Cmd+click on macOS, Ctrl+click elsewhere)
- Clear content between login phases (fixes GitHub Copilot two-phase flow)
- Use InteractiveMode's showStatus/showError for result messages
- Reorder providers: Anthropic, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity
Previously, users had to wait up to 60 seconds for the browser callback
to timeout before being prompted to paste the authorization code. This
was problematic for SSH/VPS sessions where the callback cannot work.
Now the paste input is shown immediately alongside the browser flow:
- Browser callback and manual paste race - whichever completes first wins
- Desktop users: browser callback succeeds, input is cleaned up
- SSH/VPS users: paste code immediately without waiting
Changes:
- Add cancelWait() to OAuth server for early termination of polling loop
- Add onManualCodeInput callback that races with browser callback
- Show paste input immediately in TUI for openai-codex provider
- Clean up input on success, error, or when browser callback wins

- 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
- HookError now includes optional stack field
- Hook error display shows stack trace in dim color below error message
- tools.ts: create SettingsListTheme using the theme passed to ctx.ui.custom()
instead of using getSettingsListTheme() which depends on global theme
1. Merge setWidget and setWidgetComponent into single overloaded method
- Accepts either string[] or component factory function
- Uses single Map<string, Component> internally
- String arrays wrapped in Container with Text components
2. Use KeyId type for registerShortcut instead of plain string
- Import Key from @mariozechner/pi-tui
- Update plan-mode example to use Key.shift('p')
- Type-safe shortcut registration
3. Fix tool API docs
- Both built-in and custom tools can be enabled/disabled
- Removed incorrect 'custom tools always active' statement
4. Use matchesKey instead of matchShortcut (already done in rebase)
- New ctx.ui.setWidgetComponent(key, factory) method
- Allows custom Component to render as widget without taking focus
- Unlike custom(), widget components render inline above editor
- Components are disposed when cleared or replaced
- Falls back to no-op in RPC/print modes
- Limit total widget lines to 10 to prevent viewport overflow/flicker
- Show '... (widget truncated)' when limit exceeded
- Document that multiple hooks stack widgets vertically
- Add caution about keeping widgets small
- ctx.ui.setWidget(key, lines) for multi-line displays above editor
- Widgets appear below 'Working...' indicator, above editor
- Supports ANSI styling including strikethrough
- Added theme.strikethrough() method
- Plan-mode hook now shows todo list with checkboxes
- Completed items show checked box and strikethrough text
Hook API additions:
- pi.getTools() / pi.setTools(toolNames) - dynamically enable/disable tools
- pi.registerFlag(name, options) / pi.getFlag(name) - register custom CLI flags
- pi.registerShortcut(shortcut, options) - register keyboard shortcuts
Plan mode hook (examples/hooks/plan-mode.ts):
- /plan command or Shift+P shortcut to toggle
- --plan CLI flag to start in plan mode
- Read-only tools: read, bash, grep, find, ls
- Bash restricted to non-destructive commands (blocks rm, mv, git commit, etc.)
- Interactive prompt after each response: execute, stay, or refine
- Shows plan indicator in footer when active
- State persists across sessions
- 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
* fix(tui): expand paste markers when opening external editor
Add getExpandedText() method to Editor that substitutes paste markers
with actual content. Use it in Ctrl-G external editor flow so users
see full pasted content instead of [paste #N ...] placeholders.
* docs: add changelog entries for #444
Add new slash commands for gracefully exiting the interactive mode:
- /quit - exit the application
- /exit - alias for /quit (common CLI convention)
Both commands await shutdown() which emits session_shutdown events
to hooks and custom tools before exiting. Unlike Ctrl+C (twice) which
uses void (fire-and-forget), these commands properly wait for hooks
and tools to complete their shutdown handlers.
- Hook commands now execute immediately during streaming (they manage their own LLM interaction via pi.sendMessage())
- File-based slash commands are expanded and queued via steer/followUp during streaming
- prompt() accepts new streamingBehavior option ('steer' or 'followUp') for explicit queueing during streaming
- steer() and followUp() now expand file-based slash commands and error on hook commands
- RPC prompt command accepts optional streamingBehavior field
- Updated docs: rpc.md, sdk.md, CHANGELOG.md
fixes#420
