-## Getting Started
-
-### Installation
-
-**npm (recommended):**
-
-```bash
-npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
-```
-
-**Standalone binary:**
-
-Download from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/releases):
-
-| Platform | Archive |
-|----------|---------|
-| macOS Apple Silicon | `pi-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` |
-| macOS Intel | `pi-darwin-x64.tar.gz` |
-| Linux x64 | `pi-linux-x64.tar.gz` |
-| Linux ARM64 | `pi-linux-arm64.tar.gz` |
-| Windows x64 | `pi-windows-x64.zip` |
-
-```bash
-# macOS/Linux
-tar -xzf pi-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
-./pi
-
-# Windows
-unzip pi-windows-x64.zip
-pi.exe
-```
-
-**macOS note:** The binary is unsigned. If blocked, run: `xattr -c ./pi`
-
-**Build from source** (requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) 1.0+):
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono.git
-cd pi-mono && npm install && npm run build
-cd packages/coding-agent && npm run build:binary
-./dist/pi
-```
-
-### Windows Setup
-
-Pi requires a bash shell on Windows. Checked locations (in order):
-
-1. Custom path from `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`
-2. Git Bash (`C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe`)
-3. `bash.exe` on PATH (Cygwin, MSYS2, WSL)
-
-For most users, [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win) is sufficient.
-
-**Custom shell path:**
-
-```json
-// ~/.pi/agent/settings.json
-{
-  "shellPath": "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe"
-}
-```
-
-### Terminal Setup
-
-Pi uses the [Kitty keyboard protocol](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/) for reliable modifier key detection. Most modern terminals support this protocol, but some require configuration.
-
-**Kitty, iTerm2:** Work out of the box.
-
-**Ghostty:** Add to your Ghostty config (`~/.config/ghostty/config`):
-
-```
-keybind = alt+backspace=text:\x1b\x7f
-keybind = shift+enter=text:\n
-```
-
-**wezterm:** Create `~/.wezterm.lua`:
-
-```lua
-local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
-local config = wezterm.config_builder()
-config.enable_kitty_keyboard = true
-return config
-```
-
-**Windows Terminal:** Does not support the Kitty keyboard protocol. Shift+Enter cannot be distinguished from Enter. Use Ctrl+Enter for multi-line input instead. All other keybindings work correctly.
-
-### API Keys & OAuth
-
-**Option 1: Auth file** (recommended)
-
-Add API keys to `~/.pi/agent/auth.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "anthropic": { "type": "api_key", "key": "sk-ant-..." },
-  "openai": { "type": "api_key", "key": "sk-..." },
-  "google": { "type": "api_key", "key": "..." }
-}
-```
-
-**Option 2: Environment variables**
-
-| Provider | Auth Key | Environment Variable |
-|----------|--------------|---------------------|
-| Anthropic | `anthropic` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
-| OpenAI | `openai` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` |
-| Google | `google` | `GEMINI_API_KEY` |
-| Mistral | `mistral` | `MISTRAL_API_KEY` |
-| Groq | `groq` | `GROQ_API_KEY` |
-| Cerebras | `cerebras` | `CEREBRAS_API_KEY` |
-| xAI | `xai` | `XAI_API_KEY` |
-| OpenRouter | `openrouter` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` |
-| Vercel AI Gateway | `vercel-ai-gateway` | `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` |
-| ZAI | `zai` | `ZAI_API_KEY` |
-| MiniMax | `minimax` | `MINIMAX_API_KEY` |
-
-Auth file keys take priority over environment variables.
-
-**OAuth Providers:**
-
-Use `/login` to authenticate with subscription-based or free-tier providers:
-
-| Provider | Models | Cost |
-|----------|--------|------|
-| Anthropic (Claude Pro/Max) | Claude models via your subscription | Subscription |
-| GitHub Copilot | GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini via Copilot subscription | Subscription |
-| Google Gemini CLI | Gemini 2.0/2.5 models | Free (Google account) |
-| Google Antigravity | Gemini 3, Claude, GPT-OSS | Free (Google account) |
-| OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT Plus/Pro) | Codex models via ChatGPT subscription | Subscription |
-
-```bash
-pi
-/login  # Select provider, authorize in browser
-```
-
-**Note:** `/login` replaces any existing API key for that provider with OAuth credentials in `auth.json`.
-
-**GitHub Copilot notes:**
-- Press Enter for github.com, or enter your GitHub Enterprise Server domain
-- If you get "model not supported" error, enable it in VS Code: Copilot Chat → model selector → select model → "Enable"
-
-**Google providers notes:**
-- Gemini CLI uses the production Cloud Code Assist endpoint (standard Gemini models)
-- Antigravity uses a sandbox endpoint with access to Gemini 3, Claude (sonnet/opus thinking), and GPT-OSS models
-- Both are free with any Google account, subject to rate limits
-- Paid Cloud Code Assist subscriptions: set `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` or `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID` env var to your project ID
-
-**OpenAI Codex notes:**
-- Requires ChatGPT Plus/Pro OAuth (`/login openai-codex`)
-- Prompt cache stored under `~/.pi/agent/cache/openai-codex/`
-- Intended for personal use with your own subscription; not for resale or multi-user services. For production, use the OpenAI Platform API.
-
-Credentials stored in `~/.pi/agent/auth.json`. Use `/logout` to clear.
-
-**Troubleshooting (OAuth):**
-- **Port 1455 in use:** Close the conflicting process or paste the auth code/URL when prompted.
-- **Token expired / refresh failed:** Run `/login` again for the provider to refresh credentials.
-- **Usage limits (429):** Wait for the reset window; pi will surface a friendly message with the approximate retry time.
-
-**Amazon Bedrock:**
-
-Amazon Bedrock supports multiple authentication methods:
-
-```bash
-# Option 1: AWS Profile (from ~/.aws/credentials)
-export AWS_PROFILE=your-profile-name
-
-# Option 2: IAM Access Keys
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIA...
-export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
-
-# Option 3: Bedrock API Key (bearer token)
-export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK=...
-
-# Optional: Set region (defaults to us-east-1)
-export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
-
-pi --provider amazon-bedrock --model global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0
-```
-
-See [Supported foundation models in Amazon Bedrock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/models-supported.html).
-
-### Quick Start
-
-```bash
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
-pi
-```
-
-Then chat:
-
-```
-You: Create a simple Express server in src/server.ts
-```
-
-The agent reads, writes, and edits files, and executes commands via bash.
-

-
-**Drag & drop:** Drag files from your file manager into the terminal.
-
-**Multi-line paste:** Pasted content is collapsed to `[paste #N <lines> lines]` but sent in full.
-
-**Message queuing:** Submit messages while the agent is working:
-- **Enter** queues a *steering* message, delivered after current tool execution (interrupts remaining tools)
-- **Alt+Enter** queues a *follow-up* message, delivered only after the agent finishes all work
-
-Both modes are configurable via `/settings`: "one-at-a-time" delivers messages one by one waiting for responses, "all" delivers all queued messages at once. Press Escape to abort and restore queued messages to editor.

-
-**Example (Emacs-style):**
-
-```json
-{
-  "cursorUp": ["up", "ctrl+p"],
-  "cursorDown": ["down", "ctrl+n"],
-  "cursorLeft": ["left", "ctrl+b"],
-  "cursorRight": ["right", "ctrl+f"],
-  "cursorWordLeft": ["alt+left", "alt+b"],
-  "cursorWordRight": ["alt+right", "alt+f"],
-  "deleteCharForward": ["delete", "ctrl+d"],
-  "deleteCharBackward": ["backspace", "ctrl+h"],
-  "newLine": ["shift+enter", "ctrl+j"]
-}
-```
-
-**Example (Vim-style):**
-
-```json
-{
-  "cursorUp": ["up", "alt+k"],
-  "cursorDown": ["down", "alt+j"],
-  "cursorLeft": ["left", "alt+h"],
-  "cursorRight": ["right", "alt+l"],
-  "cursorWordLeft": ["alt+left", "alt+b"],
-  "cursorWordRight": ["alt+right", "alt+w"],
-  "deleteCharBackward": ["backspace", "ctrl+h"],
-  "deleteWordBackward": ["ctrl+w", "alt+backspace"]
-}
-```
-
-**Example (symbol keys):**
-
-```json
-{
-  "submit": ["enter", "ctrl+j"],
-  "newLine": ["shift+enter", "ctrl+;"],
-  "toggleThinking": "ctrl+/",
-  "cycleModelForward": "ctrl+.",
-  "cycleModelBackward": "ctrl+,",
-  "interrupt": ["escape", "ctrl+`"]
-}
-```
-
-> **Note:** Some `ctrl+symbol` combinations overlap with ASCII control characters due to terminal legacy behavior (e.g., `ctrl+[` is the same as Escape, `ctrl+M` is the same as Enter). These can still be used with `ctrl+shift+key` (e.g., `ctrl+shift+]`). See [Kitty keyboard protocol: legacy ctrl mapping of ASCII keys](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#legacy-ctrl-mapping-of-ascii-keys) for all unsupported keys.
-
-### Bash Mode
-
-Prefix commands with `!` to execute them and add output to context:
-
-```
-!ls -la
-!git status
-!cat package.json | jq '.dependencies'
-```
-
-Output streams in real-time. Press Escape to cancel. Large outputs truncate at 2000 lines / 50KB.
-
-The output becomes part of your next prompt, formatted as:
-
-```
-Ran `ls -la`
-
-<output here>
-```
-
-Run multiple commands before prompting; all outputs are included together.
-
-### Image Support
-
-**Pasting images:** Press `Ctrl+V` to paste an image from your clipboard.
-
-> **Note:** On macOS, pressing Cmd+C on an image file in Finder copies the file path, not the image contents. Use Preview or another image viewer to copy the actual image, or drag the file onto the terminal instead.
-
-**Dragging images:** Drag image files onto the terminal to insert their path. On macOS, you can also drag the screenshot thumbnail (after Cmd+Shift+4) directly onto the terminal.
-
-**Attaching images:** Include image paths in your message:
-
-```
-You: What's in this screenshot? /path/to/image.png
-```
-
-Supported formats: `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`
-
-**Auto-resize:** Images larger than 2000x2000 pixels are automatically resized to fit within this limit for better compatibility with Anthropic models. The original dimensions are noted in the context so the model can map coordinates back if needed. Disable via `images.autoResize: false` in settings.
-
-**Inline rendering:** On terminals that support the Kitty graphics protocol (Kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm) or iTerm2 inline images, images in tool output are rendered inline. On unsupported terminals, a text placeholder is shown instead.
-
-Toggle inline images via `/settings` or set `terminal.showImages: false` in settings.
-
----
-
-## Sessions
-
-Sessions are stored as JSONL files with a **tree structure**. Each entry has an `id` and `parentId`, enabling in-place branching: navigate to any previous point with `/tree`, continue from there, and switch between branches while preserving all history in a single file.
-
-See [docs/session.md](docs/session.md) for the file format and programmatic API.
-
-### Session Management
-
-Sessions auto-save to `~/.pi/agent/sessions/` organized by working directory.
-
-```bash
-pi --continue      # Continue most recent session
-pi -c              # Short form
-
-pi --resume        # Browse and select from past sessions (Tab to toggle Current Folder / All)
-pi -r              # Short form
-
-pi --no-session    # Ephemeral mode (don't save)
-
-pi --session /path/to/file.jsonl  # Use specific session file
-pi --session a8ec1c2a             # Resume by session ID (partial UUID)
-```
-
-**Resuming by session ID:** The `--session` flag accepts a session UUID (or prefix). Session IDs are visible in filenames under `~/.pi/agent/sessions/<project>/` (e.g., `2025-12-13T17-47-46-817Z_a8ec1c2a-5a5f-4699-88cb-03e7d3cb9292.jsonl`). The UUID is the part after the underscore. You can also search by session ID in the `pi -r` picker.
-
-### Context Compaction
-
-Long sessions can exhaust context windows. Compaction summarizes older messages while keeping recent ones.
-
-**Manual:** `/compact` or `/compact Focus on the API changes`
-
-**Automatic:** Enable via `/settings`. When enabled, triggers in two cases:
-- **Overflow recovery**: LLM returns context overflow error. Compacts and auto-retries.
-- **Threshold maintenance**: Context exceeds `contextWindow - reserveTokens` after a successful turn. Compacts without retry.
-
-When disabled, neither case triggers automatic compaction (use `/compact` manually if needed).
-
-**Configuration** (`~/.pi/agent/settings.json`):
-
-```json
-{
-  "compaction": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "reserveTokens": 16384,
-    "keepRecentTokens": 20000
-  }
-}
-```
-
-> **Note:** Compaction is lossy. The agent loses full conversation access afterward. Size tasks to avoid context limits when possible. For critical context, ask the agent to write a summary to a file, iterate on it until it covers everything, then start a new session with that file. The full session history is preserved in the JSONL file; use `/tree` to revisit any previous point.
-
-See [docs/compaction.md](docs/compaction.md) for how compaction works internally and how to customize it via extensions.
-
-### Branching
-
-**In-place navigation (`/tree`):** Navigate the session tree without creating new files. Select any previous point, continue from there, and switch between branches while preserving all history.
-
-- Search by typing, page with ←/→
-- Filter modes (Ctrl+O): default → no-tools → user-only → labeled-only → all
-- Press `l` to label entries as bookmarks
-- When switching branches, you're prompted whether to generate a summary of the abandoned branch (messages up to the common ancestor)
-
-**Create new session (`/fork`):** Fork to a new session file:
-
-1. Opens selector showing all your user messages
-2. Select a message to fork from
-3. Creates new session with history up to that point
-4. Selected message placed in editor for modification
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Project Context Files
-
-Pi loads `AGENTS.md` (or `CLAUDE.md`) files at startup in this order:
-
-1. **Global:** `~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md`
-2. **Parent directories:** Walking up from current directory
-3. **Current directory:** `./AGENTS.md`
-
-Use these for:
-- Project instructions and guidelines
-- Common commands and workflows
-- Architecture documentation
-- Coding conventions
-- Testing instructions
-
-```markdown
-# Common Commands
-- npm run build: Build the project
-- npm test: Run tests
-
-# Code Style
-- Use TypeScript strict mode
-- Prefer async/await over promises
-```
-
-### Custom System Prompt
-
-Replace the default system prompt entirely by creating a `SYSTEM.md` file:
-
-1. **Project-local:** `.pi/SYSTEM.md` (takes precedence)
-2. **Global:** `~/.pi/agent/SYSTEM.md` (fallback)
-
-This is useful when using pi as different types of agents across repos (coding assistant, personal assistant, domain-specific agent, etc.).
-
-```markdown
-You are a technical writing assistant. Help users write clear documentation.
-
-Focus on:
-- Concise explanations
-- Code examples
-- Proper formatting
-```
-
-The `--system-prompt` CLI flag overrides both files. Use `--append-system-prompt` to add to (rather than replace) the prompt.
-
-### Custom Models and Providers
-
-Add custom models (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, etc.) via `~/.pi/agent/models.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "ollama": {
-      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:11434/v1",
-      "apiKey": "OLLAMA_API_KEY",
-      "api": "openai-completions",
-      "models": [
-        {
-          "id": "llama-3.1-8b",
-          "name": "Llama 3.1 8B (Local)",
-          "reasoning": false,
-          "input": ["text"],
-          "cost": {"input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0},
-          "contextWindow": 128000,
-          "maxTokens": 32000
-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Supported APIs:** `openai-completions`, `openai-responses`, `openai-codex-responses`, `anthropic-messages`, `google-generative-ai`
-
-**API key resolution:** The `apiKey` field is checked as environment variable name first, then used as literal value.
-
-**API override:** Set `api` at provider level (default for all models) or model level (override per model).
-
-**Custom headers:**
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "custom-proxy": {
-      "baseUrl": "https://proxy.example.com/v1",
-      "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
-      "api": "anthropic-messages",
-      "headers": {
-        "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 ...",
-        "X-Custom-Auth": "token"
-      },
-      "models": [...]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Overriding built-in providers:**
-
-To route a built-in provider (anthropic, openai, google, etc.) through a proxy without redefining all models, just specify the `baseUrl`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "anthropic": {
-      "baseUrl": "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-All built-in Anthropic models remain available with the new endpoint. Existing OAuth or API key auth continues to work.
-
-To fully replace a built-in provider with custom models, include the `models` array:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "anthropic": {
-      "baseUrl": "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1",
-      "apiKey": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
-      "api": "anthropic-messages",
-      "models": [...]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Authorization header:** Set `authHeader: true` to add `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` automatically.
-
-**OpenAI compatibility (`compat` field):**
-
-| Field | Description |
-|-------|-------------|
-| `supportsStore` | Whether provider supports `store` field |
-| `supportsDeveloperRole` | Use `developer` vs `system` role |
-| `supportsReasoningEffort` | Support for `reasoning_effort` parameter |
-| `supportsUsageInStreaming` | Whether provider supports `stream_options: { include_usage: true }`. Default: `true` |
-| `maxTokensField` | Use `max_completion_tokens` or `max_tokens` |
-
-**Live reload:** The file reloads each time you open `/model`. Edit during session; no restart needed.
-
-**Model selection priority:**
-1. CLI args (`--provider`, `--model`)
-2. First from `--models` scope (new sessions only)
-3. Restored from session (`--continue`, `--resume`)
-4. Saved default from settings
-5. First available model with valid API key
-
-> pi can help you create custom provider and model configurations.
-
-### Settings File
-
-Settings are loaded from two locations and merged:
-
-1. **Global:** `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` - user preferences
-2. **Project:** `<cwd>/.pi/settings.json` - project-specific overrides (version control friendly)
-
-Project settings override global settings. For nested objects, individual keys merge. Settings changed via TUI (model, thinking level, etc.) are saved to global preferences only.
-
-Global `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` stores persistent preferences:
-
-```json
-{
-  "theme": "dark",
-  "defaultProvider": "anthropic",
-  "defaultModel": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
-  "defaultThinkingLevel": "medium",

-## Customization
-
-### Themes
-
-Built-in themes: `dark` (default), `light`. Auto-detected on first run.
-
-Select theme via `/settings` or set in `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`.
-
-**Custom themes:** Create `~/.pi/agent/themes/*.json`. Custom themes support live reload.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent/themes
-cp $(npm root -g)/@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/dist/theme/dark.json ~/.pi/agent/themes/my-theme.json
-```
-
-Select with `/settings`, then edit the file. Changes apply on save.
-
-> See [Theme Documentation](docs/theme.md) on how to create custom themes in detail. Pi can help you create a new one.
-
-**VS Code terminal fix:** Set `terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio` to `1` for accurate colors.
-
-### Prompt Templates
-
-Define reusable prompts as Markdown files:
-
-**Locations:**
-- Global: `~/.pi/agent/prompts/*.md`
-- Project: `.pi/prompts/*.md`
-
-**Format:**
-
-```markdown
----
-description: Review staged git changes
----
-Review the staged changes (`git diff --cached`). Focus on:
-- Bugs and logic errors
-- Security issues
-- Error handling gaps
-```
-
-Filename (without `.md`) becomes the command name. Description shown in autocomplete.
-
-**Arguments:**
-
-```markdown
----
-description: Create a component
----
-Create a React component named $1 with features: $@
-```
-
-Usage: `/component Button "onClick handler" "disabled support"`
-- `$1` = `Button`
-- `$@` or `$ARGUMENTS` = all arguments joined (`Button onClick handler disabled support`)
-
-**Namespacing:** Subdirectories create prefixes. `.pi/prompts/frontend/component.md` → `/component (project:frontend)`
-
-
-### Skills
-
-Skills are self-contained capability packages that the agent loads on-demand. Pi implements the [Agent Skills standard](https://agentskills.io/specification), warning about violations but remaining lenient.
-
-A skill provides specialized workflows, setup instructions, helper scripts, and reference documentation for specific tasks. Skills are loaded when the agent decides a task matches the description, or when you explicitly ask to use one. You can also invoke skills directly via `/skill:name` commands (e.g., `/skill:brave-search`).
-
-**Example use cases:**
-- Web search and content extraction (Brave Search API)
-- Browser automation via Chrome DevTools Protocol
-- Google Calendar, Gmail, Drive integration
-- PDF/DOCX processing and creation
-- Speech-to-text transcription
-- YouTube transcript extraction
-
-**Skill locations:**
-- Pi user: `~/.pi/agent/skills/**/SKILL.md` (recursive)
-- Pi project: `.pi/skills/**/SKILL.md` (recursive)
-- Claude Code: `~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` and `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`
-- Codex CLI: `~/.codex/skills/**/SKILL.md` (recursive)
-
-**Format:**
-
-```markdown
----
-name: brave-search
-description: Web search via Brave Search API. Use for documentation, facts, or web content.
----
-
-# Brave Search
-
-## Setup
-\`\`\`bash
-cd /path/to/brave-search && npm install
-\`\`\`
-
-## Usage
-\`\`\`bash
-./search.js "query"           # Basic search
-./search.js "query" --content # Include page content
-\`\`\`
-```
-
-- `name`: Required. Must match parent directory name. Lowercase, hyphens, max 64 chars.
-- `description`: Required. Max 1024 chars. Determines when the skill is loaded.
-
-**Disable skills:** `pi --no-skills` or set `skills.enabled: false` in settings.
-
-> See [docs/skills.md](docs/skills.md) for details, examples, and links to skill repositories. pi can help you create new skills.
-
-### Extensions
-
-Extensions are TypeScript modules that extend pi's behavior.
-
-**Use cases:**
-- **Custom tools** - Register tools callable by the LLM with custom UI and rendering
-- **Custom commands** - Add `/commands` for users (e.g., `/deploy`, `/stats`)
-- **Event interception** - Block tool calls, modify results, customize compaction
-- **State persistence** - Store data in session, reconstruct on reload/fork
-- **External integrations** - File watchers, webhooks, git checkpointing
-- **Custom UI** - Full TUI control from tools, commands, or event handlers
-
-**Locations:**
-- Global: `~/.pi/agent/extensions/*.ts` or `~/.pi/agent/extensions/*/index.ts`
-- Project: `.pi/extensions/*.ts` or `.pi/extensions/*/index.ts`
-- CLI: `--extension <path>` or `-e <path>`
-
-**Dependencies:** Extensions can have their own dependencies. Place a `package.json` next to the extension (or in a parent directory), run `npm install`, and imports are resolved via [jiti](https://github.com/unjs/jiti). See [examples/extensions/with-deps/](examples/extensions/with-deps/).
-
-#### Custom Tools
-
-Tools are functions the LLM can call. They appear in the system prompt and can have custom rendering.
-
-```typescript
-import type { ExtensionAPI } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
-import { Type } from "@sinclair/typebox";
-import { Text } from "@mariozechner/pi-tui";
-
-export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
-  pi.registerTool({
-    name: "deploy",
-    label: "Deploy",
-    description: "Deploy the application to production",
-    parameters: Type.Object({
-      environment: Type.String({ description: "Target environment" }),
-    }),
-
-    async execute(toolCallId, params, onUpdate, ctx, signal) {
-      // Show progress via onUpdate
-      onUpdate({ status: "Deploying..." });
-
-      // Ask user for confirmation
-      const ok = await ctx.ui.confirm("Deploy?", `Deploy to ${params.environment}?`);
-      if (!ok) {
-        return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Cancelled" }], details: { cancelled: true } };
-      }
-
-      // Run shell commands
-      const result = await ctx.exec("./deploy.sh", [params.environment], { signal });
-
-      return {
-        content: [{ type: "text", text: result.stdout }],
-        details: { environment: params.environment, exitCode: result.exitCode },
-      };
-    },
-
-    // Custom TUI rendering (optional)
-    renderCall(args, theme) {
-      return new Text(theme.bold("deploy ") + theme.fg("accent", args.environment), 0, 0);
-    },
-    renderResult(result, options, theme) {
-      const ok = result.details?.exitCode === 0;
-      return new Text(ok ? theme.fg("success", "✓ Deployed") : theme.fg("error", "✗ Failed"), 0, 0);
-    },
-  });
-}
-```
-
-#### Custom Commands
-
-Commands are user-invoked via `/name`. They can show custom UI, modify state, or trigger agent turns.
-
-```typescript
-export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
-  pi.registerCommand("stats", {
-    description: "Show session statistics",
-    handler: async (args, ctx) => {
-      // Simple notification
-      ctx.ui.notify(`${ctx.sessionManager.getEntries().length} entries`, "info");
-    },
-  });
-
-  pi.registerCommand("todos", {
-    description: "Interactive todo viewer",
-    handler: async (args, ctx) => {
-      // Full custom UI with keyboard handling
-      await ctx.ui.custom((tui, theme, done) => {
-        return {
-          render(width) {
-            return [
-              theme.bold("Todos"),
-              "- [ ] Item 1",
-              "- [x] Item 2",
-              "",
-              theme.fg("dim", "Press Escape to close"),
-            ];
-          },
-          handleInput(data) {
-            if (matchesKey(data, "escape")) done();
-          },
-        };
-      });
-    },
-  });
-}
-```
-
-#### Event Interception
-
-Subscribe to lifecycle events to block, modify, or observe agent behavior.
-
-```typescript
-export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
-  // Block dangerous commands
-  pi.on("tool_call", async (event, ctx) => {
-    if (event.toolName === "bash" && /rm -rf/.test(event.input.command as string)) {
-      const ok = await ctx.ui.confirm("Dangerous!", "Allow rm -rf?");
-      if (!ok) return { block: true, reason: "Blocked by user" };
-    }
-  });
-
-  // Modify tool results
-  pi.on("tool_result", async (event, ctx) => {
-    if (event.toolName === "read") {
-      // Redact secrets from file contents
-      return { modifiedResult: event.result.replace(/API_KEY=\w+/g, "API_KEY=***") };
-    }
-  });
-
-  // Custom compaction
-  pi.on("session_before_compact", async (event, ctx) => {
-    return { customSummary: "My custom summary of the conversation so far..." };
-  });
-
-  // Git checkpoint on each turn
-  pi.on("turn_end", async (event, ctx) => {
-    await ctx.exec("git", ["stash", "push", "-m", `pi-checkpoint-${Date.now()}`]);
-  });
-}
-```
-
-#### State Persistence
-
-Store state in session entries that survive reload and work correctly with branching.
-
-```typescript
-export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
-  let counter = 0;
-
-  // Reconstruct state from session history
-  const reconstruct = (ctx) => {
-    counter = 0;
-    for (const entry of ctx.sessionManager.getBranch()) {
-      if (entry.type === "custom" && entry.customType === "my_counter") {
-        counter = entry.data.value;
-      }
-    }
-  };
-
-  pi.on("session_start", async (e, ctx) => reconstruct(ctx));
-  pi.on("session_fork", async (e, ctx) => reconstruct(ctx));
-  pi.on("session_tree", async (e, ctx) => reconstruct(ctx));
-
-  pi.registerCommand("increment", {
-    handler: async (args, ctx) => {
-      counter++;
-      ctx.appendEntry("my_counter", { value: counter }); // Persisted in session
-      ctx.ui.notify(`Counter: ${counter}`, "info");
-    },
-  });
-}
-```
-
-#### Keyboard Shortcuts
-
-Register custom keyboard shortcuts (shown in `/hotkeys`):
-
-```typescript
-export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
-  pi.registerShortcut("ctrl+shift+d", {
-    description: "Deploy to production",
-    handler: async (ctx) => {
-      ctx.ui.notify("Deploying...", "info");
-      await ctx.exec("./deploy.sh", []);
-    },
-  });
-}
-```
-
-#### CLI Flags
-
-Register custom CLI flags (parsed automatically, shown in `--help`):
-
-```typescript
-export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
-  pi.registerFlag("dry-run", {
-    description: "Run without making changes",
-    type: "boolean",
-  });
-
-  pi.on("tool_call", async (event, ctx) => {
-    if (pi.getFlag("dry-run") && event.toolName === "write") {
-      return { block: true, reason: "Dry run mode" };
-    }
-  });
-}
-```
-
-#### Custom UI
-
-Extensions have full TUI access via `ctx.ui`:
-
-```typescript
-// Simple prompts
-const confirmed = await ctx.ui.confirm("Title", "Are you sure?");
-const choice = await ctx.ui.select("Pick one", ["Option A", "Option B"]);
-const text = await ctx.ui.input("Enter value");
-
-// Notifications
-ctx.ui.notify("Done!", "success"); // success, info, warning, error
-
-// Status line (persistent in footer, multiple extensions can set their own)
-ctx.ui.setStatus("my-ext", "Processing...");
-ctx.ui.setStatus("my-ext", null); // Clear
-
-// Widgets (above editor)
-ctx.ui.setWidget("my-ext", ["Line 1", "Line 2"]);
-
-// Custom footer (replaces built-in footer)
-ctx.ui.setFooter((tui, theme) => ({
-  render(width) { return [theme.fg("dim", "Custom footer")]; },
-  invalidate() {},
-}));
-ctx.ui.setFooter(undefined); // Restore built-in footer
-
-// Full custom component with keyboard handling
-await ctx.ui.custom((tui, theme, done) => ({
-  render(width) {
-    return [
-      theme.bold("My Component"),
-      theme.fg("dim", "Press Escape to close"),
-    ];
-  },
-  handleInput(data) {
-    if (matchesKey(data, "escape")) done();
-  },
-}));
-```

-
-## Programmatic Usage
-
-### SDK
-
-For embedding pi in Node.js/TypeScript applications, use the SDK:
-
-```typescript
-import { createAgentSession, discoverAuthStorage, discoverModels, SessionManager } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
-
-const authStorage = discoverAuthStorage();
-const modelRegistry = discoverModels(authStorage);
-
-const { session } = await createAgentSession({
-  sessionManager: SessionManager.inMemory(),
-  authStorage,
-  modelRegistry,
-});
-
-session.subscribe((event) => {
-  if (event.type === "message_update" && event.assistantMessageEvent.type === "text_delta") {
-    process.stdout.write(event.assistantMessageEvent.delta);
-  }
-});
-
-await session.prompt("What files are in the current directory?");
-```
-
-The SDK provides full control over:
-- Model selection and thinking level
-- System prompt (replace or modify)
-- Tools (built-in subsets, custom tools)
-- Extensions (discovered or via paths)
-- Skills, context files, prompt templates
-- Session persistence (`SessionManager`)
-- Settings (`SettingsManager`)
-- API key resolution and OAuth
-
-**Philosophy:** "Omit to discover, provide to override." Omit an option and pi discovers from standard locations. Provide an option and your value is used.
-
-> See [SDK Documentation](docs/sdk.md) for the full API reference. See [examples/sdk/](examples/sdk/) for working examples from minimal to full control.
-
-### RPC Mode
-
-For embedding pi from other languages or with process isolation:
-
-```bash
-pi --mode rpc --no-session
-```

-Send JSON commands on stdin:
-```json
-{"type":"prompt","message":"List all .ts files"}
-{"type":"abort"}
-```

-## Philosophy
-
-Pi is opinionated about what it won't do. These are intentional design decisions to minimize context bloat and avoid anti-patterns.
-
-**No MCP.** Build CLI tools with READMEs (see [Skills](#skills)). The agent reads them on demand. [Would you like to know more?](https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-02-what-if-you-dont-need-mcp/)
-
-**No sub-agents.** Spawn pi instances via tmux, or [build your own sub-agent tool](examples/extensions/subagent/) with [Extensions](#extensions). Full observability and steerability.
-
-**No permission popups.** Security theater. Run in a container or build your own with [Extensions](#extensions).
-
-**No plan mode.** Gather context in one session, write plans to file, start fresh for implementation.
-
-**No built-in to-dos.** They confuse models. Use a TODO.md file, or [build your own](examples/extensions/todo.ts) with [Extensions](#extensions).
-
-**No background bash.** Use tmux. Full observability, direct interaction.
-
-Read the [blog post](https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-30-pi-coding-agent/) for the full rationale.

-## Development
-
-### Forking / Rebranding
-
-Configure via `package.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "piConfig": {
-    "name": "pi",
-    "configDir": ".pi"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Change `name`, `configDir`, and `bin` field for your fork. Affects CLI banner, config paths, and environment variable names.
-
-### Path Resolution
-
-Three execution modes: npm install, standalone binary, tsx from source.
-
-**Always use `src/paths.ts`** for package assets:
-
-```typescript
-import { getPackageDir, getThemeDir } from "./paths.js";
-```
-
-Never use `__dirname` directly for package assets.
-
-### Debug Command
-
-`/debug` (hidden) writes rendered lines with ANSI codes to `~/.pi/agent/pi-debug.log` for TUI debugging, as well as the last set of messages that were sent to the LLM.
