README

pi-prompt-shelf

A Pi extension that lets you stash prompts from the editor into a persistent, per-session shelf instead of submitting them. Each session in each project gets its own shelf, and shelved prompts survive restarts. The shelf is always visible as a widget above the editor input.

Installation

# From GitHub
pi install https://github.com/tanishqkancharla/pi-prompt-shelf

# Try without installing
pi -e https://github.com/tanishqkancharla/pi-prompt-shelf

Features

  • Session-scoped persistence — each Pi session gets its own shelf under ~/.pi/prompt-shelf/<project>-<hash>/<sessionId>.json; starting a new Pi session starts with an empty shelf, and resuming a session restores its shelf
  • Widget display — a bordered widget above the editor shows all shelved prompts with timestamps
  • Quick restore — restore any prompt by number with Alt+1..9
  • Interactive picker — browse, restore, or delete shelved prompts with the /shelf command

Shortcuts

Alt+S Shelve current editor text
