tr-pi

Umbrella Pi package that folds these individually published npm extensions into one installable package:

• pi-qq — ask side questions in Pi without polluting the main transcript.
• pi-chrome — drive your existing logged-in Chrome from Pi.
• pi-linter — inline session linter above the input bar (vague openers, scope creep, unbounded loops, …).
• trifecta-footer — footer/statusline for model, thinking, and context.

Operating principles

1. Each extension is its own independently published npm package.
2. Each extension package is tracked in this repo under packages/ and wired into the umbrella through npm workspaces.
3. tr-pi is only an umbrella installer: it lets users install all of the extensions with one command.
4. tr-pi must not know or document implementation details of any individual extension. Extension-specific code, docs, skills, versioning, and release notes belong with that extension package.

Install

Bootstrap the umbrella once:

pi install npm:tr-pi

Or locally while developing:

npm install
pi install /Users/tianrendong/pi-packages

/install — interactive picker inside Pi

After the umbrella is loaded, run /install in any Pi session. A toggle dialog lets you pick which of the bundled extensions to install as their own pi packages (so you can later update or remove them individually):

1. Pick scope: Global (~/.pi/agent/settings.json) or Project (.pi/settings.json).
2. Toggle each package between install / skip.
3. Press Enter/Esc to apply. For each install entry, pi shells out to pi install [-l] npm:<name>.

If you previously installed individual packages and want to drop the duplicates after switching to the umbrella:

pi remove npm:pi-qq
pi remove npm:pi-chrome
pi remove npm:pi-linter
pi remove npm:trifecta-footer

How this package works

package.json declares the three extensions as local workspace dependencies and exposes their Pi extension entrypoints through the pi.extensions manifest:

{
  "pi": {
    "extensions": [
      "./node_modules/pi-qq/index.ts",
      "./node_modules/pi-chrome/extensions/chrome-profile-bridge/index.ts",
      "./node_modules/pi-linter/index.ts",
      "./node_modules/trifecta-footer/extensions/status-footer.ts"
    ]
  }
}

The dependencies are also listed in bundledDependencies, so if this umbrella package is packed/published, the extension packages are included in the tarball.
