Pi Skill Shiori
Pi extension that keeps large Agent Skill catalogs out of the model prompt and loads only the skills that match the current task.
For maintenance priorities and the phased plan, see ROADMAP.md.
What this is
Pi Skill Shiori is a Pi package for vaults or projects with many Agent Skills where the default catalog becomes noisy and expensive. It hides the normal skill catalog when safe, recommends triggerable skills with compact summaries, and loads full SKILL.md bodies on demand.
0.6.6 is the current working release. Prompt-boundary suppression is intentionally conservative: if Shiori cannot safely recognize a catalog boundary, it leaves the prompt untouched and warns instead of deleting too much.
Features
- Zero-Catalog Mode — hides the normal skill catalog when Pi exposes one in the system prompt.
- Policy-based retrieval — treats skills as explicit by default and only candidates skills marked as triggerable.
- Compact candidate injection — injects short skill suggestions instead of full
SKILL.mdfiles. - On-demand loading — exposes
shiori_load_skillso the model can load one selected skill body when needed. - Vault-wide skill inventory — indexes skills from project and user-global roots, with optional extra roots in policy.
- SQLite FTS retrieval — indexes skill names, descriptions, and policy triggers with
node:sqlite+ FTS5, with token-match fallback. - Recommendation reason badges — compact
[trigger],[description], and[low match]labels on surfaced skills. - Session-local feedback metrics —
/shiori:statstracks offers, loads, and follow-through without storing prompts.

pi install -l git:github.com/eiei114/pi-skill-shioriTry without installing
pi -e npm:pi-skill-shiori
pi -e git:github.com/eiei114/pi-skill-shioriLocal development install
pi install -l /absolute/path/to/pi-skill-shioriQuick start
- Install the package (see Install).
- Create
.pi/skill-shiori.ymlin your Pi project (see Docs/usage.md). - Start Pi and run
/shiori:doctorto confirm policy path, indexed roots, and suppression status. - Use
/shiori:bootstrapto draft a policy from discovered skills, then/shiori:reloadafter edits. - Ask the agent for help; Shiori injects compact candidates or use
/shiori:recommendfor an interactive flow.
Commands take no inline arguments. Details are collected after launch via Pi UI prompts.
Usage summary
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| /shiori:doctor | Show policy path, indexed roots, inventory count, retrieval backend, suppression status, and code marker. |
| /shiori:bootstrap | Generate a review draft policy from discovered skill descriptions. |
| /shiori:reload | Rebuild Shiori skill inventory; optionally ask Pi to reload runtime resources. |
| /shiori:recommend | Interactive recommendation flow with optional pre-load. |
| /shiori:stats | Show operational counters and recommendation quality summary. |
Shiori registers one tool:
shiori_load_skill({ skill: "reddit-research" })The model receives the full selected SKILL.md content. The Pi UI shows a compact result like ✓ Loaded reddit-research (6.3KB).
Recommended skills show compact reason badges ([trigger], [description], [low match]). See Docs/recommendation-surface.md for badge vocabulary and metrics interplay.
For inventory roots, policy YAML, suppression statuses, and feedback metrics, see Docs/usage.md.

Releases are automated via Trusted Publishing:
- Bump
versioninpackage.jsonand updateCHANGELOG.md. - Merge to
main. - Auto Release tags
v<version>and creates a GitHub release. - The tag triggers Publish, which publishes to npm with provenance.
Maintainer checks before merge:
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run release:npm:dryFor version history, see CHANGELOG.md.
Security
Pi packages execute local code with the same permissions as Pi. Review third-party packages before installing them.
Shiori does not sandbox skills. It only changes how skill candidates are discovered and loaded. A loaded skill can still instruct the model to run tools, edit files, or execute commands according to your Pi/tool permissions.
For vulnerability reporting, see SECURITY.md.
