README

Inline skills

Autocomplete $skill-name mentions and turn them into file references to skills Pi has already discovered.

I kept typing stuff like "use the engineering-standard skill" when I wanted to point Pi at a specific skill. This adds Codex-style $skill-name completion with fuzzy search, so I don't have to remember the file's path.

Install

pi install npm:@dylanhalstead/pi-inline-skills

Usage

use the $engineering-standard skill"

Type $ in the TUI editor to search discovered skills. On submission, $name becomes a file reference such as @/absolute/path/to/skill/SKILL.md. Unknown names stay unchanged. No configuration is needed.

The extension does not load skill instructions. The model decides whether to read the referenced file (which it will almost always read).

Important limitations

Mentions inside code fences are also replaced. Use \$name to keep a mention literal; the backslash stays in the prompt.
Absolute skill paths become part of the prompt and session transcript and are sent to the selected model provider.
