pi-repo-move

Move the current repo and keep its Pi session history connected.

pi-repo-move gives Pi a guarded /repo-move command for moving the active repository directory while preserving session continuity. It performs preflight checks before mutation, blocks unsafe path relationships, detects dirty jj/git working copies, moves the repository, records relocation evidence, and prints the exact restart command.

It is intentionally narrow: pi-repo-move owns filesystem repo moves. Session-only relocation remains separate.

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-repo-move

From GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/ProbabilityEngineer/pi-repo-move

For project-local install, add -l:

pi install -l npm:pi-repo-move

Command

/repo-move <target>

Behavior:

• source is the current repo root/current cwd repo
• target is the new repo path
• preflight runs before mutation
• hard blockers print diagnostics and stop without changes
• dirty jj/git working copies ask for confirmation
• successful moves print only the new path and restart command:

cd '<target>'
pi -c

Move records append normal relocation evidence plus first-class repo-move fields:

{
  "operationType": "repo_move",
  "tool": "pi-repo-move",
  "sourceRepo": "/old/repo",
  "targetRepo": "/new/repo"
}

Hard blockers

/repo-move <target> stops before mutation when:

• target already exists
• target equals source
• target is inside source
• source is inside target
• source repo root cannot be found
• target parent cannot be created or written
• current Pi session file is missing

If the jj or git working copy is dirty, /repo-move asks whether to continue instead of blocking.

Prompt overhead

pi-repo-move registers one focused slash command and does not inject dynamic repository status into prompts.
