README

@monopi/extension-btw

Standalone pi extension package for btw side conversations.

pi install npm:@monopi/extension-btw

Commands

  • /btw: open the side chat. When saved conversations exist, this opens a conversation picker.
  • /btw <question>: start a new side conversation and ask immediately without interrupting the main thread.

Questions entered inside an open overlay continue that conversation. Conversations are persisted independently as custom session entries, so you can switch between previous threads and restore them as the session tree changes.

Navigation

  • Conversation picker: ↑ / ↓ moves one item, PageUp / PageDown moves one page, Enter selects, and Esc cancels. The picker uses a fixed percentage of the terminal height and scrolls when conversations overflow it.
  • Conversation overlay: PageUp / PageDown scrolls through long responses, Enter submits, and Esc closes. The position indicator shows the visible transcript range.
