@henryqw/pi-open-in

Open the current Pi working directory in your editor with one command. Move from terminal work while the agent is busy, using VS Code by default or any simple editor command.

Install

pi install npm:@henryqw/pi-open-in

Use

Run /open. With default settings, VS Code opens the current working directory.

Run /set-open-in when you want another command.

Surface	Type	Purpose
/open	command	Run <command> <current-working-directory>. Works while the agent is busy.
/set-open-in	command	Set the command used by /open.

Config

~/.pi/agent/config/pi-open-in/config.json

{
  "command": "code"
}

• A missing file silently uses the default command, "code".
• Reads do not create or write the config home.
• When the file exists, command is required. It must be a non-empty string.
• Only /set-open-in writes the file. Its write is atomic.

API

Consumers use the owner API instead of reading this file.

import { loadOpenInConfig } from "@henryqw/pi-open-in/open-uri";

const { source, value } = loadOpenInConfig();

source is "missing" or "file". value.command is validated. Pass an agent directory to loadOpenInConfig(agentDir) when needed.

configuredOpenUri(path) returns a VS Code URI when the executable is code. For code -n and code --new-window, it adds windowId=_blank so the link opens a new window. It returns undefined for other commands or invalid config.

This extension owns command validation. @henryqw/pi-config-store owns the config home and storage.

Limits and recovery

The command splits on whitespace into an executable and arguments. Tokens cannot contain spaces, and quoting is unsupported. Use a wrapper script for executables in spaced paths.

An existing file must be a JSON object with exactly one non-empty string command property. Otherwise /open fails with a visible error and offers no open URI. Malformed files remain unchanged.
