pi-slim

A small Pi package that trims Pi's default system prompt by making the built-in Pi documentation guidance opt-in.

By default, Pi includes a documentation block telling the agent where to read Pi docs when asked about Pi itself, extensions, skills, themes, the SDK, TUI, packages, and related topics. pi-slim removes that block from normal turns and restores the original block only when you explicitly use /pi.

Features

• Removes the default Pi documentation ... system-prompt block on normal turns.
• Adds a /pi command for one-off Pi documentation mode.
• /pi preserves Pi's original built-in documentation guidance for that turn instead of approximating it in a skill.
• Keeps the rest of Pi's default prompt intact: tools, guidelines, context files, skills, date, and current working directory.

Install

pi install npm:pi-slim

For local development from this repository:

pi install ./

Or run temporarily without installing:

pi -e ./

Usage

Normal prompts use the slimmed system prompt.

For Pi-specific work, explicitly invoke Pi docs mode:

/pi how do I build a Pi extension command?

The text after /pi is sent as your request, and the original Pi documentation system-prompt block is preserved for that turn.

Package contents

extensions/remove-pi-docs.ts

Notes

• This package no longer uses a skill. /pi is an extension command.
• The command does not recreate or duplicate Pi docs guidance. It simply skips removal for the next turn, preserving Pi's original prompt block exactly as Pi generated it.
• This package does not modify Pi internals; it only rewrites the per-turn system prompt through Pi's extension API.
