Files referenced with @path/to/file.ext syntax are automatically read
and injected as synthetic Read tool calls before the agent responds,
eliminating the need for manual file reads.
- Added custom TypeScript slash commands loaded from ~/.pi/commands/ and .pi/commands/ directories.
- Added support for loading markdown slash commands from Claude's ~/.claude/commands/ and .claude/commands/ directories.
- Added commands.enableClaudeUser and commands.enableClaudeProject settings to control Claude command directory loading.
- Implemented CustomCommandAPI with exec, typebox, and pi module injection for command execution context.
- Integrated custom commands into autocomplete provider for interactive mode discovery.
- Added interruptMode option to control when queued messages interrupt tool execution.
- Implemented "immediate" mode (default) to check queue after each tool and interrupt remaining tools.
- Implemented "wait" mode to defer queue processing until the entire turn completes.
- Exposed interruptMode configuration in interactive settings UI with immediate/wait options.
- Wired interrupt mode through AgentSession and SDK to enable runtime configuration and persistence.
- Settings now use modelRoles map (e.g., { default: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5', small: 'anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5' })
- Session persistence uses 'provider/modelId' string format with optional role field
- Model selector: Enter sets default, S sets small, Escape closes
- Added role markers in selector: checkmark for default, lightning bolt for small
- Task tool supports pi/<role> aliases (e.g., model: pi/small, haiku, flash, mini)
- Title generation uses configured small model with auto-discovery fallback
- Explore agent now uses pi/small as primary model preference
- Renamed npm package scope from @mariozechner to @oh-my-pi across all packages for consistent branding.
- Removed packages/pods directory and all related pod management functionality.
- Updated import paths and module declarations throughout codebase to reflect new package names.
- Reformatted code with consistent trailing comma removal and ternary operator alignment.
CustomToolContext now has:
- isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- hasQueuedMessages() - check if user has queued messages
- abort() - abort current operation (fire-and-forget)
Changed abort() signature from Promise<void> to void in both
HookContext and CustomToolContext. The abort is fire-and-forget:
it calls session.abort() without awaiting, so the abort signal
is set immediately while waitForIdle() runs in the background.
Fixes#388
HookContext (all events):
- isIdle() - read-only state check
- hasQueuedMessages() - read-only state check
- abort() - fire-and-forget, does not wait
HookCommandContext (slash commands only):
- waitForIdle() - waits for agent to finish
- newSession(options?) - create new session
- branch(entryId) - branch from entry
- navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate session tree
Session control methods moved from HookAPI (pi.*) to HookCommandContext (ctx.*)
because they can deadlock when called from event handlers that run inside
the agent loop (tool_call, tool_result, context events).
HookAPI additions:
- pi.newSession(options?) - create new session with optional setup callback
- pi.branch(entryId) - branch from a specific entry
- pi.navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate the session tree
HookContext additions:
- ctx.isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- ctx.waitForIdle() - wait for agent to finish
- ctx.abort() - abort current operation
- ctx.hasQueuedMessages() - check for queued user messages
These enable hooks to programmatically manage sessions (handoff, templates)
and check agent state before showing interactive UI.

event types: session_start, session_before_switch, session_switch,
session_before_new, session_new, session_before_branch, session_branch,
session_before_compact, session_compact, session_shutdown
- Each event has dedicated result type (SessionBeforeSwitchResult, etc.)
- HookHandler type now allows bare return statements (void in return type)
- HookAPI.on() has proper overloads for each event with correct typing
Additional fixes:
- AgentSession now always subscribes to agent in constructor (was only
subscribing when external subscribe() called, breaking internal handlers)
- Standardize on undefined over null throughout codebase
- HookUIContext methods return undefined instead of null
- SessionManager methods return undefined instead of null
- Simplify hook exports to 'export type * from types.js'

- Removed isHookMessage, isBashExecutionMessage type guards in favor of role checks
- Fixed imports and removed unused getLatestCompactionEntry
- Removed Attachment from agent package (now in web-ui/coding-agent)
- Agent.prompt now takes (text, images?: ImageContent[])
- Removed transports from web-ui (duplicate of agent package)
- Updated coding-agent to use local message types
- Updated mom package for new agent API
Remaining: Fix AgentInterface.ts to compose UserMessageWithAttachments
- Renamed AppMessage to AgentMessage throughout
- New agent-loop.ts with AgentLoopContext, AgentLoopConfig
- Removed transport abstraction, Agent now takes streamFn directly
- Extracted streamProxy to proxy.ts utility
- Removed agent-loop from pi-ai (now in agent package)
- Updated consumers (coding-agent, mom) for AgentMessage rename
- Tests updated but some consumers still need migration
Known issues:
- AgentTool, AgentToolResult not exported from pi-ai
- Attachment not exported from pi-agent-core
- ProviderTransport removed but still referenced
- messageTransformer -> convertToLlm migration incomplete
- CustomMessages declaration merging not working properly
- Rename HookAppMessage to HookMessage, isHookAppMessage to isHookMessage
- Remove entries array from SessionContext (use isHookMessage type guard instead)
- HookMessage.content now accepts string directly (not just array)
- Fix streamMessage type in AgentState (AppMessage, not Message)
- Rename CustomMessageComponent to HookMessageComponent
- Fix test hook to use pi.sendMessage
Instead of using continue() which validates roles, prompt() now accepts
an AppMessage directly. This allows hook messages with role: 'hookMessage'
to trigger proper agent loop with message events.
- Add overloads: prompt(AppMessage) and prompt(string, attachments?)
- sendHookMessage uses prompt(appMessage) instead of appendMessage+continue
Following the same pattern as BashExecutionMessage:
- HookAppMessage has role: 'hookMessage' with customType, content, display, details
- isHookAppMessage() type guard for checking message type
- messageTransformer converts to user message for LLM context
- TUI checks isHookAppMessage() for rendering as CustomMessageComponent
This makes the API clean for anyone building on AgentSession - they can
use the type guard instead of knowing about internal marker fields.
When calling continue() with emitLastMessage=true, the agent loop
emits message_start/message_end events for the last message in context.
This allows messages added outside the loop (e.g., hook messages via
sendHookMessage) to trigger proper TUI rendering.
Changes across packages:
- packages/ai: agentLoopContinue() accepts emitLastMessage parameter
- packages/agent: Agent.continue(), transports updated to pass flag
- packages/coding-agent: sendHookMessage passes true when triggerTurn
- Command handler now returns Promise<void> instead of Promise<string | undefined>
- To trigger LLM response, use sendMessage() with triggerTurn: true
- Simplify _tryExecuteHookCommand to return boolean
Added example hook and slash command in .pi/:
- .pi/hooks/test-command.ts - /greet command using sendMessage
- .pi/commands/review.md - file-based /review command
Hook commands registered via pi.registerCommand() are now handled in
AgentSession.prompt() alongside file-based slash commands. This:
- Removes duplicate tryHandleHookCommand from interactive-mode and rpc-mode
- All modes (interactive, RPC, print) share the same command handling logic
- AgentSession._tryExecuteHookCommand() builds CommandContext using:
- UI context from hookRunner (set by mode)
- sessionManager, modelRegistry from AgentSession
- sendMessage via sendHookMessage
- exec via exported execCommand
- Handler returning string uses it as prompt, undefined returns early
Also:
- Export execCommand from hooks/runner.ts
- Add getUIContext() and getHasUI() to HookRunner
- Make HookRunner.emitError() public for error reporting
Breaking changes to Hook API:
- pi.send(text, attachments?) replaced with pi.sendMessage(message, triggerTurn?)
- Creates CustomMessageEntry instead of user messages
- Properly handles queuing during streaming via agent loop
- Supports optional turn triggering when idle
- New pi.appendEntry(customType, data?) for hook state persistence
- New pi.registerCommand(name, options) for custom slash commands
- Handler types renamed: SendHandler -> SendMessageHandler, new AppendEntryHandler
Implementation:
- AgentSession.sendHookMessage() handles all three cases:
- Streaming: queues message with _hookData marker, agent loop processes it
- Not streaming + triggerTurn: appends to state/session, calls agent.continue()
- Not streaming + no trigger: appends to state/session only
- message_end handler routes based on _hookData presence to correct persistence
- HookRunner gains getRegisteredCommands() and getCommand() methods
New types: HookMessage<T>, RegisteredCommand, CommandContext
- CompactionEntry<T> and CompactionResult<T> now have optional details?: T
- appendCompaction() accepts optional details parameter
- Hooks can return compaction.details to store custom data
- Enables structured compaction with ArtifactIndex (see #314)
- Fix CompactionResult export location (now from compaction.ts)
- Update plan with remaining compaction refactor items
- SessionEntry now only contains conversation entries (messages, compaction, etc.)
- SessionHeader is separate, not part of SessionEntry
- FileEntry = SessionHeader | SessionEntry (for file storage)
- getEntries() filters out header, returns SessionEntry[]
- Added getHeader() for accessing session metadata
- Updated compaction and tests to not expect header in entries
- Updated mom package to use FileEntry for internal storage
