pi-extensions (ZhenHuangLab)

Seven npm-published pi extensions in one workspace: context recall, per-model prompts, X search, LaTeX math, tool-call folding.

extensions✓ Oct 16

Each package installs separately: pi install npm:pi-pleat, pi install npm:strip-pi-docs, pi install npm:prompt-per-model, pi install npm:pi-better-explore, pi install npm:@zhenhuang/pi-xai-search, pi install npm:pi-better-math, pi install npm:pi-tool-fold

## TL;DR

A single npm workspace publishing seven pi extensions: pi-pleat for context and tool-output recall, strip-pi-docs, prompt-per-model, pi-better-explore, pi-xai-search, pi-better-math for Unicode math rendering, and pi-tool-fold for folding completed tool calls.

## Key points

• $Context and prompts: pi-pleat manages context and recalls old tool output; strip-pi-docs removes Pi's documentation pointer from the system prompt; prompt-per-model adds Markdown system prompts for each model.
• $Search and exploration: pi-better-explore routes code searches through sift-light and enforces tool limits; @zhenhuang/pi-xai-search searches X with xAI's native search tool.
• $Transcript and terminal: pi-better-math renders LaTeX math as Unicode in Pi's terminal UI; pi-tool-fold folds completed tool calls in the transcript.
• $Independent packages: each keeps its own npm name, version, and release cycle; the seven repositories were imported as non-squashed Git subtrees preserving each original main branch's history, and the originals retain their historical releases.
• $Development: Node.js 22.19.0 or later and npm 11.5.1 or later, a single root lockfile, npm run check per workspace, and PI_CONTEXT_LIVE=0 npm test as the local and CI mode; releases run through Changesets with npm Trusted Publishing.
