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
