pi-lovely-rename

Automatically gives unnamed Pi sessions a short, task-specific name after a configurable amount of conversation.

Install

pi install npm:@xl0/pi-lovely-rename

For local development:

pi -e ./pi/packages/pi-lovely-rename

Usage

The extension auto-renames a session only when it has no session name already. Manual /rename regenerates the name even when one is already set.

Defaults:

• rename after 3 user-agent turns
• token trigger disabled

Commands:

/rename                 Generate or regenerate the session name
/rename settings        Configure triggers

For explicit names, use Pi's built-in /name <name>.

Configuration

/rename settings edits ~/.pi/agent/xl0-pi-lovely-rename.json.

Fields:

• afterSteps: user-agent turns before auto-renaming. 0 disables this trigger.
• afterTokens: cumulative assistant-reported tokens before auto-renaming. 0 disables this trigger.
• prompt: naming prompt prepended to the serialized conversation.

Model request

Naming always uses the current session model through pi-ai with a compact serialized conversation excerpt and a dedicated naming prompt. It does not reuse the active session system prompt.
