@danypops/pi-tickets

Pi extension exposing the tickets daemon (GitHub/GitLab/Jira issue tracking) as an LLM-callable tool, plus a /tickets interactive TUI for browsing pooled issues and setting focus.

Install

{ "packages": ["npm:@danypops/pi-tickets"] }

in pi's settings.json. Requires @danypops/tickets (installed automatically as a dependency) — the daemon it talks to spawns on first use.

Tools

One real Pi tool per operation -- projected from the daemon's own Vehicle registry, not a single action-dispatch mega-tool: issue_list, issue_get, issue_create, issue_update, issue_search, issue_children, issue_comments, issue_comment_add, backends_list, ledger_search, ledger_stats, focus_set, focus_get, focus_pause, focus_unpause, focus_clear, discover_fields, discover_statuses, discover_template. OAuth login and daemon lifecycle control are deliberately not exposed here — run tickets auth login / tickets daemon stop from a terminal instead.

These tools only appear once the tickets daemon has been started at least once (via the /tickets command below, or the CLI) — registering them never spawns the daemon itself, the same rule this extension already follows for its footer status. Once started, the daemon keeps running across Pi sessions, so this is a one-time thing per machine, not a per-session wait.

/tickets command

/tickets with no arguments opens one persistent panel -- a tab bar of every configured provider (GitHub, GitLab, Jira), each staying mounted for the whole session so switching tabs never tears down and reopens a different screen. A plain provider's tab is its Issues list directly; a provider with a real query language (Jira's JQL today) gets a real submenu instead -- its own Issues/Saved queries/Board view tabs, nested one level inside its own provider tab. Tab/Shift-Tab and ←/→ cycle whichever level's tabs you're currently in (the outer provider bar, or, once you're inside a provider's own submenu, its own three tabs); a mnemonic letter jumps directly, scoped like a real menu bar's own accelerators -- a provider's own letter works from anywhere, a submenu's own letters only once that submenu is active. s opens /secrets without leaving the panel; esc ascends one level at a time -- a submenu's own home, then the outer panel's own home, then closes.

Within an issue list: ↑↓ navigate, enter sets focus (or clears it on the synthetic first row when one is already set), v opens the full issue detail view, o opens the issue's URL in a browser, r reloads from source. A footer status shows the current focus, kept in sync with focus changes the LLM makes via the tool.

/tickets <query> skips the panel and pushes a single one-shot search view over every configured backend.
