README

pi-skill-inline-autocomplete

Inline /skill: autocomplete for Pi coding agent — type / followed by letters anywhere in the prompt (not just at the start of line 0) to fuzzy-find and complete skills.

What it does

Pi's built-in slash menu only opens at the start of line 0. This extension stacks an autocomplete provider on top so you can trigger skill suggestions mid-sentence, on any line:

Input Result
fix this /zer Fuzzy-matches skills like zereight-mode
fix this /skill:zer Same, using the explicit /skill: trigger
/reload on line 0 Left alone — the core slash menu keeps handling it

Accepting a suggestion inserts Pi's explicit skill command /skill:<name>, which stays recognized regardless of your enableSkillCommands setting.

Install

pi install npm:pi-skill-inline-autocomplete

Or try it for one session without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-skill-inline-autocomplete

Usage

  1. Type / preceded by whitespace (or at the start of any line other than the slash-menu context) and a few letters of a skill name — e.g. review this /zere.
  2. Press Tab to open the suggestion list (once the list is open, typing keeps filtering it).
  3. Use ↑/↓ to pick, Enter to insert.

The first completion character run becomes /skill:; the rest of the query fuzzy-filters against skill names and descriptions (top 20 shown). Skill discovery follows the same skills config Pi itself uses — your ~/.pi/agent/settings.json and project .pi/settings.json entries (including ! exclusions) are honored.

Requirements

  • Pi coding agent with a TUI session (ctx.hasUI)
  • Host-provided @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent and @earendil-works/pi-tui (declared as peers; Pi supplies them)
