Session Ask for Pi (pi-session-ask)

Ask questions about a Pi session JSONL file (including pre-compaction history) without loading that history into your current model context.

Provides:

• session_ask({ question, sessionPath? })
• session_lineage({ sessionPath?, maxDepth? })
• Slash command wrapper: /session-ask ...

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-session-ask

From the dot314 git bundle (filtered install):

Add to ~/.pi/agent/settings.json (or replace an existing unfiltered git:github.com/w-winter/dot314 entry):

{
  "packages": [
    {
      "source": "git:github.com/w-winter/dot314",
      "extensions": ["extensions/session-ask/index.ts"],
      "skills": [],
      "themes": [],
      "prompts": []
    }
  ]
}

Notes

• If the agent invokes the session_ask(...) tool, the model sees the tool output in that turn
• If you run the /session-ask ... command yourself, the output is shown to you but is not kept in the agent's context; copy/paste relevant parts if you want the agent to use them in follow-ups
