Keep worktree reminders above the Pi editor across sessions.

Install

pi install npm:@hcflabs/pi-notes

Use

Run /note Verify the migration rollback. in a Git worktree. The reminder appears immediately and in later sessions.

These commands and the widget are for people.

Surface Type Purpose
/note <text> command Add a worktree note.
/note-rm command Select and remove a note.
/note-clear command Clear worktree notes.
Notes widget ui Show worktree notes.

Each worktree has separate notes. The TUI numbers notes and limits each to two lines. Other modes show plain text without that limit. Empty widgets stay hidden.

State and storage

Commands save notes to ~/.pi/agent/config/pi-notes/<worktree-sha256>.json.

Session start and note changes silently delete stale files for removed repositories and worktrees.

Limits and recovery

Each worktree holds at most four notes. /note trims surrounding whitespace and replaces whitespace sequences with one space. It rejects remaining control characters with Notes cannot contain terminal control characters.

The extension validates files as untrusted data. Malformed files stay unchanged and block changes for their worktree. Fix the file or reset it with /note-clear.
