README

pix-welcome

Pi extension — welcome banner with startup health checks.

What it does

Renders a coloured ASCII π logo above the editor on session start and runs startup health checks in parallel while the banner is visible. Checks include: Pi version, auth status (at least one provider configured), loaded model + tool + skill counts, and gitignore hygiene (auto-adds .pi/ to .gitignore in git repos). Each check updates the banner live as results arrive, showing ✓/⚠/✗ and a brief status. The banner auto-dismisses on the first user turn. No configuration required.

Install

pi install npm:@xynogen/pix-welcome

Bundled in @xynogen/pix-core. Install it alone only if you do not use pix-core.
