README

pix-nudge

Pi extension — model-steering nudges (tools + capability).

What it does

Registers two complementary nudge hooks. The tools nudge intercepts bash tool calls that merely reimplement a first-class tool (read, ls, grep, find, edit, write) and blocks the call once per command category per session, redirecting the model to use the proper tool instead. After the first nudge for a category, subsequent bash calls are allowed — no nag loop. The capability nudge injects an orientation block on the first prompt of each session (tool counts, MCP tools, available skills) and a short one-line reminder on every subsequent prompt, steering the model toward read_skills() and the /toolbox command for tool discovery rather than guessing. Both nudges are surgical: they name only the relevant tool, not a full inventory.
