Pi packages can execute code and influence agent behavior. Review the source before installing third-party packages.

Save useful prompts from the editor, restore them later from a picker, and copy them to the system clipboard.

pi install npm:pi-prompt-save

Alt+S: save the current editor text, clear the editor, and keep it in the current session's saved-prompt list.
Alt+Shift+S: open the saved-prompt picker.
Ctrl+Alt+C in the editor: copy the current editor text to the system clipboard and clear the editor after the copy succeeds.

Enter: insert the selected saved prompt into the editor. If the editor already has text, the prompt is appended with a single newline separator.
Ctrl+Alt+C: copy the selected saved prompt to the clipboard without deleting it.
Ctrl+D: remove the selected saved prompt from the session-wide list shown by the picker.
Esc: close the picker.

The picker shows its shortcuts inline in the footer row.

Saved prompts are persisted in the current pi session and are visible across all branches in that session.

Removing a saved prompt takes it out of the picker list, but it does not erase prompt text already recorded in the underlying pi session history.
