README

Pi Mention Skill

npm version npm downloads license

This Pi extension moves skill selection out of the regular slash autocomplete menu and into configurable mentions that default to $.

Install

pi install npm:@zigai/pi-mention-skill

Features

  • Adds fuzzy skill autocomplete with $ mentions.
  • Expands mentions such as $skill-name before the model sees the prompt.
  • Keeps /skill:* entries out of slash autocomplete by default.

Usage

Type $ in the prompt editor to open skill suggestions, then select a skill.

The selected mention loads the same skill content that /skill:name would have loaded, while keeping skills out of the normal slash command picker.

Configuration

Configuration lives in Pi settings: globally in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json, or per trusted project in .pi/settings.json.

The mention character defaults to $. To change it, set mentionSkillTrigger to a single non-whitespace character:

{
  "mentionSkillTrigger": "#"
}

Skills are hidden from Pi's default slash autocomplete menu by default. To keep /skill:* entries visible, set mentionSkillHideSlashSkills to false:

{
  "mentionSkillHideSlashSkills": false
}
