@tryinget/pi-interaction

Umbrella/facade package for live interaction runtime behavior in pi.

Canonical package home

This package lives in the pi-extensions monorepo at:

• packages/pi-interaction/pi-interaction

It is the canonical successor to the old standalone pi-input-triggers repo. The parent packages/pi-interaction/ directory is a package-group shell, not the publish target.

Package split (monorepo)

@tryinget/pi-interaction now composes three subpackages:

• @tryinget/pi-editor-registry — editor ownership + mount primitives
• @tryinget/pi-interaction-kit — selection/fuzzy/ranking UI primitives
• @tryinget/pi-trigger-adapter — trigger broker + registerPickerInteraction

The umbrella keeps the stable end-user extension entrypoint and re-exports the main helper API.

Install

{
  "packages": ["npm:@tryinget/pi-interaction"]
}

Extension author API (stable facade)

import {
  getBroker,
  registerPickerInteraction,
  splitQueryAndContext,
} from "@tryinget/pi-interaction";

Example trigger registration

registerPickerInteraction({
  id: "my-picker",
  description: "Template picker",
  match: /^\$\$\s*\/(.*)$/,
  loadCandidates: async () => ({
    candidates: [{ id: "nexus", label: "/nexus", detail: "High-leverage intervention" }],
  }),
  parseInput: (match) => {
    const parsed = splitQueryAndContext(String(match?.groups?.[0] ?? ""));
    return { query: parsed.query, context: parsed.context, raw: String(match?.groups?.[0] ?? "") };
  },
  applySelection: ({ selected, api }) => {
    api.setText(`$$ /${selected.id} `);
  },
});
