@agnishc/edb-auto-name-session

A Pi CLI extension that replaces Pi's default first-message session label with a short generated title.

By default, Pi already shows the first user message in the session picker when no explicit session name exists. This extension watches the first real user prompt in a new unnamed session, sends that prompt to opencode/big-pickle, and then stores a cleaner display name with pi.setSessionName().

Install

pi install npm:@agnishc/edb-auto-name-session

Use case

Without this extension:

• Pi falls back to the raw first user message as the session label

With this extension:

• Pi keeps the same session flow
• after the first user message, the fallback label is replaced with a concise generated title

Example:

• First prompt: The next extension to build is auto-name-session. This will use the opencode big pickle model.
• Generated session name: Build Auto Name Session

Behavior

• Runs once per fresh unnamed session
• Waits until the first user message is actually recorded
• Uses opencode/big-pickle to generate a concise title
• Shows an interactive notification while auto-naming runs, then confirms the final title
• Calls pi.setSessionName() only if the session is still unnamed
• Leaves already named, resumed, or forked sessions alone

Requirements

The extension uses the opencode provider and the big-pickle model. Configure OpenCode access with either:

export OPENCODE_API_KEY=...

or /login in Pi if you store provider credentials there.
