kaushikgopal/pi-kaush

pi-kaush is a collection of small, independent extensions for the Pi coding agent, a coding assistant tool separate from this repository. Each extension adds one focused piece of behavior to Pi, and they can be installed and used individually rather than as one combined package. The repository currently ships six extensions. One expands large pasted text blocks into editable text when the same block is pasted twice. Another highlights and routes Codex-style skill references, written like a dollar sign followed by a skill name, through Pi's own skill system. Another lets a user configure the verbosity of OpenAI's text responses directly from Pi's model settings. Another can fork a side conversation and hand off a clean copy of it to a separate side agent. Another collapses a run of adjacent, successful tool calls into a single compact block grouped by tool type, so the conversation view stays readable. The last one shows a startup header when Pi launches, summarizing the resources Pi has loaded. Each extension is versioned and published separately on npm, and the source code for all of them is plain, readable TypeScript with few or no runtime dependencies. There are two ways to use them. The recommended way is installing a chosen extension globally through Pi's own package manager, then restarting Pi or reloading it, with the option to pin a specific version number. Alternatively, someone can clone the repository directly, install its dependencies, and launch Pi while pointing it at a specific extension's source file, which runs the code live without installing it and keeps all of the user's other configured extensions active. Publishing new versions is automated through a GitHub Actions workflow that uses npm's Trusted Publishing system, meaning GitHub exchanges a short-lived identity token for permission to publish, so the repository itself never stores an npm write token. A release is triggered by tagging it with a name that matches the specific extension and its version number, and the workflow checks that the tag lines up with the package's own version file before publishing just that one extension.
