pi-quick-context

Print the session context inline in pi, the same way /hotkeys does — without depending on the startup header or quietStartup.

That way you can set quietStartup to true for a clean ui but check the context on-demand without inspecting dofiles or spending tokens.

What it shows

• Session — model, thinking level, cwd, session id
• Keys — config-aware keybinding hints (respects your keybindings.json)
• Context Files — loaded AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md files
• Skills — all loaded skills
• Prompts — prompt templates from the agent dir, project, settings, and installed packages
• Extensions — enabled configured extensions in the startup header's label format (pkg, pkg:file, pkg:dir)
• Tools — the currently active tool set

Nothing the extension prints is sent to the model: content is rendered as a TUI-only custom entry.

Usage

| Command | What it prints | |---|---| | /context | Full context: session, keys, context files, skills, prompts, extensions, tools | | /context skills | All skill names (expand with ctrl+o to see descriptions) | | /context prompts | All prompt template names | | /context extensions | All enabled extension candidates | | Ctrl+Shift+H | Same as /context |

Install

# From GitHub
pi install git:github.com/cris7ian/pi-quick-context

# From npm
pi install npm:pi-quick-context

Then run /reload in an interactive pi session (or restart pi). Uninstall with pi remove.

How it gets the data

• Skills, prompts, and tools come from pi's live runtime, so filtering, trust, reloads, and active-resource changes are already applied.
• Context files use live system-prompt options when available. The hotkey falls back to the current effective system prompt.
• Extensions use pi's settings-aware package resolver. It applies scopes, trust, filters, globs, conventions, and npm/git/local package resolution without loading extension code twice.

Pi does not currently expose the final loaded-extension list to extensions. The extension section therefore shows enabled candidates and cannot include temporary CLI or inline extensions, or exclude a candidate that failed during loading.

Development

pi -e src/index.ts   # try it without installing

The entry point is src/index.ts. It has no runtime dependencies beyond the core @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent peer package.
