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
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
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
Added glob pattern support (e.g., github-copilot/*, *sonnet*) to --models
and enabledModels. Patterns are matched against both provider/modelId and
just modelId, so *sonnet* works without requiring anthropic/*sonnet*.
The existing fuzzy substring matching for non-glob patterns is preserved.
fixes#337
- Add --session-dir CLI flag to specify custom session directory
- SessionManager API: second param of create(), continueRecent(), list(), open()
changed from agentDir to sessionDir (direct directory, no cwd encoding)
- When omitted, uses default (~/.pi/agent/sessions/<encoded-cwd>/)
- --session now derives sessionDir from file's parent if --session-dir not provided
- list() validates session header before processing files
- Closes#313

Adds glob pattern support for skill filtering:
- --skills <patterns> CLI flag (comma-separated glob patterns)
- includeSkills setting in settings.json
- ignoredSkills now supports glob patterns
- ignoredSkills takes precedence over includeSkills and --skills
Closes#268
- 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
