README

@spences10/pi-omnisearch

my-pi package preview

Make agents verify current facts before answering. pi-omnisearch reminds the model to use the Omnisearch MCP tools for web search, extraction, and cited synthesis instead of relying on stale memory or snippets.

Installation

pi install npm:@spences10/pi-omnisearch

Local development from this monorepo:

pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run build
pi install ./packages/pi-omnisearch
# or for one run only
pi -e ./packages/pi-omnisearch

What it does

The extension injects a system reminder telling the model to use mcp-omnisearch when the user asks to:

research current information
verify facts or citations
inspect documentation
compare packages, APIs, or tools
extract and summarize web content

It encourages the verified research workflow from the ecosystem guide skill:

use web_search for discovery
use web_extract to read actual source content before making claims
use ai_search for synthesized answers with sources
prefer official docs, repositories, release notes, and source files
report partial failures, conflicts, and uncertainty

It adds no slash commands and no custom tools.

Example MCP config

mcp-omnisearch must be configured separately, for example in ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"mcp-omnisearch": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "mcp-omnisearch"]
		}
	}
}

Using from a custom harness

import omnisearch from '@spences10/pi-omnisearch';

// pass `omnisearch` as an ExtensionFactory to your Pi runtime

my-pi imports this package directly and enables it as the built-in Omnisearch reminder.

Development

Package scripts build transitive workspace dependencies first, then run local tools through Vite+ with vp exec.

pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run check
pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run test
pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run build
