README

pi-session-slice

A Pi extension that lets you take part of a conversation into a new session and continue from there.

Why

A long session can cover several unrelated topics. While working on one project, you find a bug in another and spend a few turns investigating it. You want to continue that investigation separately without bringing the rest of the conversation along or explaining everything again.

pi-session-slice copies the part you choose into a new session, including the replies and tool results. Your original session stays unchanged.

Install

pi install npm:@sherif-fanous/pi-session-slice

Or try it without installing:

pi -e npm:@sherif-fanous/pi-session-slice

To uninstall:

pi remove npm:@sherif-fanous/pi-session-slice

Quick start

/slice does not work in sessions started with --no-session.

  1. Run /slice when Pi has finished replying.
  2. Choose the first message you want to keep.
  3. Choose the first message you want to leave out, or select Keep everything to the end.

Pi opens the new session. If you chose a message to leave out, its text appears in the editor so you can edit or send it again. Press Esc in either picker to cancel without creating a session.

For example, choosing your third message as the start and your fifth as the end keeps your third and fourth messages, along with Pi's replies and any tool activity between them. Your fifth message goes into the editor; it is not part of the copied conversation.

Use /resume to return to the original session. The new session starts without a name; use /name to give it one.
