Adjust base colors (teal, blue, green, red, yellow, dimGray) to meet
4.5:1 contrast ratio against white backgrounds. Update thinking level
colors to reference theme vars for consistency.
Refactor test-theme-colors.ts into a CLI with contrast, test, and theme
commands for easier color validation.

- 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
- Skills registered as /skill:name commands for quick access
- Toggle via /settings or skills.enableSkillCommands in settings.json
- Fuzzy matching for all slash command autocomplete (type /skbra for /skill:brave-search)
- Moved fuzzy module from coding-agent to tui package for reuse
Closes#630 by @Dwsy (reimplemented with fixes)
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

- 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
- 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.
When a user edits settings.json while pi is running (e.g., adding
enabledModels), those settings would be lost when pi saved other
changes (e.g., changing thinking level via Shift+Tab).
The fix re-reads the file before saving and merges the current file
contents with in-memory changes, so external edits are preserved.
Adds test coverage for SettingsManager.
--no-extensions now skips discovery but still loads extensions
specified via -e flags. This gives users three modes:
1. Default: auto-discover + any -e additions
2. --no-extensions: no extensions at all
3. --no-extensions -e foo.js: only load foo.js, skip discovery
fixes#524
- 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
- Setting controls filtering at convertToLlm layer (defense-in-depth)
- Images are always stored in session, filtered dynamically based on current setting
- Toggle mid-session works: LLM sees/doesn't see images already in session
- Fixed SettingsManager.save() to handle inMemory mode for all setters
Closes#492
- Validate working directory exists before spawning to provide clear error message
- Add spawn error handler to prevent uncaught exceptions when shell not found or cwd invalid
- Add tests for both error scenarios
Without these fixes, spawn errors (e.g., ENOENT from missing cwd or shell) would
cause uncaught exceptions that crash the entire agent session instead of being
returned as clean tool errors.

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
Discovery rules:
1. extensions/*.ts or *.js - direct files
2. extensions/*/index.ts or index.js - subdirectory with index
3. extensions/*/package.json with pi field - load declared paths
No recursion beyond one level. Complex packages use package.json manifest.
Added PiManifest type for future theme/skill bundling support.
17 tests covering all discovery scenarios.
refs #454
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
- 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
Claude requires max_tokens > thinking.budget_tokens. When caller specifies
a small maxTokens (e.g. compaction with ~13k tokens) and reasoning is enabled
with high budget (16k tokens), the constraint was violated.
Fix: In mapOptionsForApi, add thinkingBudget on top of caller's maxTokens
(capped at model.maxTokens). If still not enough room, reduce thinkingBudget
to leave space for output.
Applied to both anthropic-messages and google-gemini-cli APIs.
Also adds test utilities for OAuth credential resolution and tests for
compaction with thinking models.
fixes#413
Builds on #406 to support simpler proxy use case:
- Override just baseUrl to route built-in provider through proxy
- All built-in models preserved, no need to redefine them
- Full replacement still works when models array is provided
* Allow models.json to override built-in providers
When a provider is defined in models.json with the same name as a
built-in provider (e.g., 'anthropic', 'google'), the built-in models
for that provider are completely replaced by the custom definition.
This enables users to:
- Use custom base URLs (proxies, self-hosted endpoints)
- Define a subset of models they want available
- Customize model configurations for built-in providers
Example usage in ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
"providers": {
"anthropic": {
"baseUrl": "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1",
"apiKey": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
"api": "anthropic-messages",
"models": [...]
}
}
}
* Refactor model-registry for readability
- Extract CustomModelsResult type and emptyCustomModelsResult helper
- Extract loadBuiltInModels method with clear skip logic
- Simplify loadModels with destructuring and ternary
- Reduce repetition in error handling paths
* Refactor model-registry tests for readability
- Extract providerConfig() helper to hide irrelevant model fields
- Extract writeModelsJson() helper for file writing
- Extract getModelsForProvider() helper for filtering
- Move modelsJsonPath to beforeEach
Reduces test file from 262 to 130 lines while maintaining same coverage.
- Update settings-manager with steeringMode/followUpMode (migrates old queueMode)
- Update sdk.ts to use new mode options
- Update settings-selector UI to show both modes
- Add Alt+Enter keybind for follow-up messages
- Update RPC API: steer/follow_up commands, set_steering_mode/set_follow_up_mode
- Update rpc-client with new methods
- Delete dead code: queue-mode-selector.ts
- Update tests for new API
- Update mom/context.ts stubs
- Update web-ui example
- 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
Agent.prompt() and Agent.continue() now throw if called while already
streaming, preventing race conditions and corrupted state. Use
queueMessage() to queue messages during streaming, or await the
previous call.
AgentSession.prompt() has the same guard with a message directing
users to queueMessage().
Ref #403
Move line count from header to footer to avoid changing the first line
during streaming, which was triggering full screen re-renders in the
TUI's differential rendering logic.
