README
pi-plugin-manager
A TUI for managing Pi plugins — see what's installed, search the catalog, install and remove packages, and bulk-update everything that's out of date. All from one screen, all with keyboard shortcuts.
Install
pi install npm:pi-plugin-manager
That's it. No config files, no API keys.
Why this exists
Pi has a growing ecosystem of extensions, skills, and themes — everything from web search and subagent delegation to custom providers and status bars. But managing them has meant juggling pi install, pi remove, pi list, and pi check-updates commands across separate terminal sessions.
This puts it all in one place. A single TUI that shows your installed plugins, checks for updates, lets you search the catalog, and handles installs and removals — all with keyboard shortcuts, no context-switching.
What you can do
| Want | How |
|---|---|
| See every plugin you've installed | Open the Installed tab — name, version, description, and type (📦 npm, 🔀 git, 📁 local) at a glance |
| Check for updates | Installed tab shows 🔄 on outdated packages and the version bump (1.2.3 → 2.0.0) |
| Update everything outdated | One key — u — updates all outdated npm packages in sequence |
| Search the package catalog | Switch to Search tab, type to find plugins on npm tagged with pi-package |
| Install something | Search results show name, version, and description. Hit Enter to see details, then Enter again to install |
| Remove a plugin | Arrow to it, press r, confirm with y. Done |
| See what a package is about | i on any installed package opens a details panel with description, author, license, downloads, and publish date |
| Pin a specific version | Pick an exact version before installing instead of grabbing latest |

What about updates after install?
The Installed tab checks npm for newer versions when it opens. Packages with updates show a 🔄 icon and the version bump. Press u to update everything — it installs npm:name@latest for each outdated package individually (which means pinned versions stay pinned).
