pix-core

Pi coding agent extension — core UI/UX meta-package.

Installing pix-core pulls in all of the packages below as npm dependencies and activates them. A single pi install npm:@dihak/pix-core boots every core extension — you do not need to install the members individually.

How it works

Pi activates extensions per installed package via each package's pi.extensions manifest; it does not walk npm dependencies. So pix-core ships a thin aggregator (src/extension.ts) that imports each member's extension factory and invokes it against the same host. Each member also carries a globalThis idempotency guard, so installing pix-core and a member standalone activates that member only once.
