pi-thinking-levels

A small pi extension for switching model thinking levels from commands.

Commands

/thinking                 Show the current level
/thinking high            Set a level
/thinking xhigh           Set extended reasoning
/thinking max             Set maximum reasoning
/reasoning max            Alias for /thinking
/max                      Shortcut for /thinking max

Supported levels are off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, and max.

For models that already support reasoning, the extension exposes xhigh and max in pi's model metadata. When xhigh or max is explicitly selected, it also persists a models.json override for the current provider/model, so the setting survives a restart without manual configuration.

The extension does not claim that every upstream model supports every level. The upstream provider still decides whether the request is accepted. OpenAI's public API documents model-dependent reasoning values up to max; ultra is not a documented public API value.

Install

pi install npm:pi-thinking-levels

Restart pi after installation, then use /thinking max.
