@carter-mcalister/pi-auto-name

English-only automatic session naming for Pi Coding Agent.

This package replaces @ryan_nookpi/pi-extension-auto-name with the same basic behavior, but it forces generated session titles to be in English.

What it does

• Watches the first user prompt in a session
• Generates a short session title with the current model
• Forces the generated title to be English-only
• Applies the title through pi.setSessionName()
• Mirrors the title into the Pi status area and terminal title
• Skips subagent sessions

Why this exists

The original package was prompting the model in Korean, which caused auto-generated session names to show up in Korean in the Pi session list and tree.

This replacement keeps the auto-naming workflow while switching the prompt and context text to English.

Install

pi install /Users/carter/Developer/repos/pi-packages/packages/pi-auto-name

If Pi is already running, use /reload after installing the extension.

Remove the original package

pi remove npm:@ryan_nookpi/pi-extension-auto-name

Notes

• This affects session display names, not Pi compaction summaries.
• If the model or auth is unavailable when a session starts, the session will simply remain unnamed.
• Titles are intentionally short and clipped to 30 characters.
