README

pi-model-pick

A model picker for Pi with your favorite and recently used models at the top. Pi's own /model shows every model from every provider in one long list; this one puts the ones you use first.

pi install npm:pi-model-pick

Usage

/pick or ctrl+shift+m opens the picker: favorites first, then the last 8 models you used, then all models. Type to filter.
/fav stars or unstars the current model.

Favorites and recents are kept in ~/.pi/agent/model-picker-state.json. Pi's own /model picker stays available.

Settings

A model you pick, with /pick, /model or ctrl+p, also becomes the default, so new sessions start on the model you used last. Resuming a session brings back that session's model without changing the default. To keep Pi's own behaviour, where only ctrl+s in /model saves a default, add this to ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

"modelPick": { "rememberLast": false }
