pi-goosedump

pi-goosedump adds goosedump-backed session-history search, durable-memory recall, entry expansion, and compaction to Pi. Its tools use the goose_ prefix.

Install

pi install npm:pi-goosedump

The package installs @jarkkojs/goosedump, including native binaries for Linux x64, macOS arm64, and Windows x64. If no compatible binary is available, the extension keeps Pi's normal compaction behavior and its goosedump features report that they are unavailable.

Memory in a nutshell

1. Remember: gpt-oss-20b extracts typed, atomic statements with source provenance. bge-small-en-v1.5 embeds each statement. SQLite stores the statements, vectors, and provenance.
2. Recall: lexical and entity matches come first. Cosine-similar BGE vectors fill the remaining slots. There is no separate vector database.

Explicit goose_remember requests and learning after successful compactions are queued in the background, so model extraction and embedding do not block Pi.

Tools

• goose_search ranks session messages and returns compact overviews with entry IDs.
• goose_get expands entry IDs returned by goose_search or goose_grep.
• goose_grep filters session messages with a glob pattern.
• goose_remember queues durable memory learning from a session. It defaults to the current Pi session and returns before extraction and embedding finish.
• goose_recall recalls typed memories with source provenance. It searches active memories in the current project by default; history includes superseded statements and allProjects searches every project.
• goose_compact starts asynchronous compaction of the current Pi session. keep preserves the last N user turns verbatim.
• goose_sessions lists or deletes sessions from the current working directory. The active session cannot be deleted.
• goose_forget deletes one memory or all retained sources from a session.
• goose_memory_status reports storage, embedding coverage, tombstones, and type counts.

Session-history tools default to the current Pi session and active lineage. Non-Pi providers require an explicit session ID.

Examples:

goose_search({ query: "bug fix" })
goose_search({ query: "auth", scope: "all", page: 2 })
goose_get({ ids: ["entry-a", "entry-b"] })
goose_grep({ pattern: "*timeout*" })
goose_recall({ query: "prior architecture decision" })
goose_recall({ query: "database", type: "decision" })
goose_recall({ query: "database", history: true })
goose_remember({})
goose_compact({ keep: 2 })
goose_sessions({ action: "list" })
goose_forget({ target: "mem_a1b2c3d4" })
goose_memory_status({})

Commands

• /goose-search [query] searches the current session. A bare command opens an inline prompt; selecting a result expands it.
• /goose-compact [keep:N] compacts now. With keep:N, the last N user turns remain verbatim; without it, Pi chooses the cut point.
• /goose-sessions lists or deletes saved sessions scoped to the current working directory.
• /goose-forget [memory-id|provider:id] deletes stored durable memory by ID or session.
• /goose-memory-status displays durable-memory storage health and indexing counts.
• /goose-settings edits global and project compaction settings.

Settings

Optional settings live under goosedump in:

• ~/.pi/agent/settings.json for global settings.
• .pi/settings.json for project overrides.

{
  "goosedump": {
    "turnsBeforeCompact": 0,
    "summaryMaxTokens": 4096
  }
}

turnsBeforeCompact is an integer from 0 to 255. 0 disables scheduled compaction. Each completed model response counts as one turn, including responses that call tools. The countdown is restored when a session resumes and appears in the footer with a status dot (green when >25% turns remain, yellow when ≤25%, red when ≤12.5%) followed by a hexadecimal countdown. ● GD:0A means ten turns remain, ● GD:00 is ready to compact, and ● GD:-- is disabled. The footer adds queued while compaction is waiting to start and compacting while the summary is being built. When the counter hits zero mid tool-loop, compaction starts immediately after the current tool batch is persisted and the task is resumed automatically. When the counter hits zero on a terminal turn, compaction starts after the agent has settled. Pi remains the sole scheduler for its normal context threshold. Whichever limit is reached first compacts once, and every successful compaction resets the countdown. A failed or cancelled compaction leaves the counter armed at zero and retries on the next tool turn or settlement.

summaryMaxTokens is an integer from 512 to 65536 (default 4096). The effective summary budget is the lower of this value and 80% of Pi's compaction.reserveTokens, leaving room for the next model response. Clearing a project value restores the global setting.

Compaction behavior

The extension uses goosedump session compact for manual, scheduled, and automatic compaction. It preserves the previous summary, summarizes only the new range, and passes the effective token budget. keep:N leaves the last N user turns verbatim. Tool requests are queued until Pi is idle; if Pi reaches its context threshold first, the queued request is coalesced into that compaction.

After success, memory learning is queued in the background. A learning failure keeps the summary and displays a warning. Custom instructions use Pi's normal compactor; other goosedump failures fall back to Pi.
