@esso0428/pi-retry-command

A Pi extension providing /retry and /continue commands.

How it works

/retry uses Session Tree navigation to retry the last prompt:

1. Finds the last user message in the session tree
2. Navigates back to its parent entry using ctx.navigateTree()
3. Resubmits the original prompt via pi.sendUserMessage()

This creates a true session branch — the failed response is preserved and you can always go back to it via /tree.

/continue stays on the current session branch and continues agent execution without replaying a user prompt. It keeps the prior conversation and triggers an additional agent turn. The command leaves only a hidden journal custom message; the context hook removes that message before the LLM sees it.

Original:
User A → Assistant A → User B → Assistant B (failed)

After /retry:
User A → Assistant A
    ├── User B → Assistant B (failed, preserved)
    └── User B' → Assistant B' (new attempt)

Installation

pi install npm:@esso0428/pi-retry-command

Usage

Type /retry in Pi when:

• The last response was aborted (ESC) or errored
• You want to retry with the exact same prompt (including images/multimodal content)
• You want to preserve the failed branch for reference

Type /continue when you want another agent turn on the current branch without sending a new prompt:

/retry     # retry the last user prompt on a new branch
/continue  # continue the current branch with the existing conversation

Requirements

• Pi Coding Agent with Session Tree support
