README

pi-orca

AI-generated Orca tab titles for the Pi coding agent.

Orca already shows its own spinner and completion state, but every Pi tab is still labelled Pi. This extension names each tab after what the session is actually doing, so Pi becomes Fix OAuth callback.

Install

pi install npm:pi-orca

It activates only inside Orca (ORCA_PANE_KEY) and stays completely inactive anywhere else.

Orca normalises Pi's terminal title to Pi for its own status display, so the tab label is set through the Orca CLI. When the CLI is unavailable the extension falls back to the terminal title.

Commands

/rename                     regenerate the tab title from the whole conversation
/rename Fix OAuth callback  set the tab title explicitly

/pi-orca                    show current settings
/pi-orca naming off         turn AI titles off
/pi-orca max-chars 40       change the title length limit
/pi-orca naming-model openai/gpt-5-mini

Settings live in ~/.pi/agent/pi-orca.json.

Title generation

Titles are generated by the model the session is already running on, at low thinking effort, in the language you wrote in. Set naming-model to use a cheaper model instead, or - to go back to the session model.
