pi-session-recall

Recall past pi sessions. Search through conversation history and query specific sessions with an LLM.

Install

pi install npm:@ogulcancelik/pi-session-recall

Or add manually to ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "packages": ["npm:@ogulcancelik/pi-session-recall"]
}

What it does

Two tools that let the agent recall past sessions:

session_search

Keyword search across all past sessions using ripgrep. Returns matching sessions with context snippets.

The agent uses this automatically when you reference something from a previous conversation — e.g. "remember when we tried X?"

session_query

Deep-dives into a specific session file. Loads the conversation, sends it to an LLM, and answers your question about it.

For large sessions that exceed the model's context window, it uses smart windowing: keeps the first/last messages plus keyword-relevant sections, marking gaps with [... N messages omitted ...].

/session-recall

Command to configure which model is used for session_query. Opens a picker with all your available models.

By default, queries use your current session model. If you want to save tokens, pick a cheaper model (e.g. Haiku, GPT-4o mini).

Configuration

Config is stored at ~/.pi/agent/session-recall.json:

{
  "queryModel": {
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "id": "claude-haiku-4-5"
  }
}

If no model is configured (or the configured model isn't available), it falls back to whatever model is active in your current session.

Requirements

• pi v0.40+
• ripgrep (rg) — recommended for fast search, falls back to grep or Node-native scan
