Chi Commons

Pi module for token-efficient navigation and historical context import. Commons uses jsonl-reduce for reduction; it does not define a separate reduction format or algorithm.

Use

Load chi-base before chi-commons, then run /commons in a project. The browser lists prior local Pi sessions (R0) and reduced artifacts (R1), newest first. From there you can:

• reduce an R0 source to a bounded R1 artifact in Pi's native session directory;
• insert an R1 into the next turn;
• insert raw R0 only after explicit confirmation.

Inserted content is visibly and model-readably labeled as historical evidence, never as a new instruction. maxInsertTokens is enforced before insertion. Configure Commons, automatic reduction cadence, insertion budget, and reduction-model preferences through /chi.

Reduced artifacts are ordinary portable Pi v3 JSONL sessions. Their jsonl-reduce.reduction entry remains authoritative for title and source lineage.
