pi-extensions

Pi coding agent extensions.

Extension	Description
clip	⚠️ Deprecated — use the built-in /copy command. Copies the last assistant message to the clipboard via /clip.
github-prs	Shows your open GitHub PRs with reviewer approval status via /prs.
macos-notify	Sends a native macOS notification when the agent finishes working. Shows elapsed time and tab info (Ghostty, iTerm2, Terminal.app).
save	Saves the last assistant message as markdown to a file via /save [filepath]. Auto-generates a filename from context if none is given.
security-guard	Blocks or prompts on dangerous bash commands, sensitive file writes, and sensitive file reads. Configurable via a TOML file.

⚠️ Package Rename (v1.2.0+)

As of pi v0.74.0, the package has been renamed from @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent to @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent. If you're on an older version of these extensions, update to v1.2.0+ to stay compatible.

Extension Details

github-prs

Registers a /prs command that fetches your open pull requests from GitHub and displays them in a box-drawn table with ANSI colors. Each PR shows its number (as a clickable hyperlink in supported terminals), title, and the approval status of every reviewer.

Reviewer statuses:

• ✔ (green) — Approved
• ✘ (red) — Changes requested
• ● (yellow) — Commented
• ○ (gray) — Dismissed
• ◌ (dim) — Pending (requested but hasn't reviewed yet)

The extension uses gh pr list --author @me under the hood, so it automatically shows PRs for whoever is authenticated with the GitHub CLI. No repo-specific configuration is needed.

Prerequisites:

• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and on your PATH
• Authenticated via gh auth login

security-guard

Intercepts tool_call events and checks bash commands, file writes, and file reads against a set of rules. Each rule specifies a substring pattern and an action (prompt, block, or allow). When multiple rules match, the most specific (longest pattern) wins — so you can create narrow allow exceptions to broader block rules.

Configuration: On first load, an example config is written to ~/.pi/agent/security-guard.toml.example. Copy it to ~/.pi/agent/security-guard.toml and customize:

[operations]
rm -rf = prompt
sudo = prompt
dd if= = block
> /dev/ = block
> /dev/null = allow

[writes]
.env = block
~/.ssh = block

[reads]
~/.ssh = block
~/.aws/credentials = prompt

Without a config file, sensible defaults are used. Rules are reloaded on /reload.

clip (deprecated)

⚠️ Deprecated: Pi now has a built-in /copy command that does the same thing. This extension is kept for backward compatibility but will be removed in a future release.

Registers a /clip command that copies the last assistant message (as markdown) to the clipboard. Runs entirely client-side — no LLM round-trip. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows:

• macOS — uses pbcopy (built-in)
• Linux (X11) — uses xclip (install with apt install xclip or equivalent)
• Linux (Wayland) — uses wl-copy (install with apt install wl-clipboard or equivalent)
• Windows — uses clip.exe (built-in)

save

Registers a /save command that writes the last assistant message as markdown to a file. Accepts an optional filepath argument:

• /save — auto-generates a filename from the content (e.g. your-content-slug-202605261507.md)
• /save notes/design — writes to notes/design.md (.md added if no extension is present)
• /save output.txt — writes to output.txt as-is

Runs entirely client-side — no LLM round-trip. Creates parent directories automatically if they don't exist.

macos-notify

Sends a native macOS notification (with pi's icon) when the agent has been working for 3+ seconds and finishes. Includes tab name and number if available. Supports Ghostty, iTerm2, and Terminal.app — the terminal is detected automatically via TERM_PROGRAM. For unknown terminals, all three are tried in sequence.

This extension requires a small native macOS app bundle (PiNotify.app) to deliver notifications. Using an .app bundle — rather than bare osascript — is what lets macOS show pi's icon in Notification Center. The app is a ~100KB Swift binary that runs display notification via NSAppleScript, then exits. It never appears in the Dock (LSUIElement).

A pre-built universal binary (arm64 + x86_64) is checked into the repo under macos-notify-app/, so pi install works with no extra steps. The full source (PiNotify.swift) and build script are in the same directory. If the binary is missing for any reason, the extension automatically rebuilds it from source on first load (requires Xcode Command Line Tools). You can also rebuild manually:

cd macos-notify-app
./build.sh

See macos-notify-app/README.md for details.
