pi-model-favorites

A custom /m model picker extension for pi that pins your favorite models above a divider and lets you hide models you never use.

What it does

Replaces the default model picker with one that:

• Pins favorited models to the top, above a divider line.
• Shows each list (favorites / models) as its own scrollable window of up to 10 rows — the picker never truncates no matter how many models are configured.
• Marks the currently active model with a ●.
• Lets you hide models you don't want to see, with a collapsible "Hidden" section.
• Supports live filtering by model name, id, or provider.

Favorites and hidden models persist to ~/.pi/agent/model-favorites.json.

What it looks like

Main view — favorites pinned above the divider. Each list is its own scrollable window (up to 10 rows visible); ▲/▼ indicate more rows above/below — keep pressing ↓ past the bottom to scroll:
