README

pi-extension-too-dumb

A pi coding agent extension that warns when the model's reasoning ability is likely to be compromised.

AKA when it's getting too dumb, and you should bail.

It does this mainly by displaying a banner that says "YOU ARE IN THE DUMB ZONE".

When you get this banner, it's probably time to /compact or /new.
