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

A Pi coding agent extension that provides convenient keyboard shortcuts to adjust reasoning / thinking levels on the fly.

Quick Adjustment: Easily adjust thinking levels up or down without leaving your prompt workflow.
Model Aware: Automatically resolves supported thinking levels for the active model (using @earendil-works/pi-ai), with a robust fallback ladder (off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max).
Interactive Notifications: Shows current level status and alerts when min/max boundaries are reached or if the active model lacks reasoning support.

Shortcut	Action	Description
`Shift + Up`	Increase Thinking Level	Steps thinking level up to the next available tier
`Shift + Down`	Decrease Thinking Level	Steps thinking level down to the previous available tier
