About pi-extensions by Pringled
pi-extensions by Pringled is a collection of small extensions for the Pi coding agent, published by Thomas van Dongen under the MIT license. Each extension installs on its own through pi install from npm. The README says most are under 300 lines with no dependencies.
What It Is
The repository is a monorepo of Pi extension packages grouped into three categories: look and feel, workflow, and helpers. The author says all of them are part of his daily setup, and each can be adopted separately to fit a personal workflow.
Look and Feel
pi-polish gives Pi Claude Code-style tool rows and diffs. pi-context-bar adds a one-line footer showing the model, git branch, a context bar and cost.
Workflow Extensions
pi-background adds background jobs and a bash timeout so Pi does not block or hang. pi-checkpoints rewinds the files Pi edited along with the conversation. pi-model-pick provides a model picker that lists favorite and recent models first.
Helper Extensions
pi-next-prompt suggests the next prompt in grey after each reply. pi-away shows a one-line recap of the session when you return. pi-heads-up flags the one thing you might have missed after a task.
