pi-clear

/clear for pi — because muscle memory shouldn't be a punishment.

A shameless copy

This project is an unabashed, shameless fork of ai-ecoverse/pi-exit — all credit for the idea, the structure, and most of this prose goes to the original author. I've simply swapped /exit for /clear and /quit for /new. Go give the original a star.

The Problem

Claude Code uses /clear to start fresh.

pi uses /new.

After years of muscle memory, thousands of developers instinctively type /clear when they want a clean slate. In pi, that does nothing. You sit there, staring at a command that won't fire, forced to remember a different word just to start over.

The Solution

pi-clear adds /clear as a first-class command (alias for the built-in /new).

Install it once and your muscle memory works again.

No more "wait, what was the command again?" moments.

Installation

Recommended

pi install npm:@hipdot/pi-clear

Then run /reload inside pi.

Quick local test

pi -e ~/Sites/pi-clear

Uninstall

pi remove npm:@hipdot/pi-clear

Usage

Just type:

/clear

It will start a new session the same way /new does — only now it respects your muscle memory.

Development

The extension source is a single file:

• index.ts — registers the /clear command using pi.registerCommand()

This is a fork of ai-ecoverse/pi-exit. Thank you to its author for doing the hard part.
