## TL;DR

A native pi extension that versions and hot-switches model profiles for spec-driven development and subagents: a floating terminal modal applies a profile instantly, syncs subagents.json atomically, and ships standard profiles plus orchestrator tools.

## Key points

• $Opens a floating modal window centered in the terminal via Alt+M, Ctrl+Shift+M, or the /sdd-profile command — arrows navigate profiles, Enter applies one hot, and e opens the per-agent model editor.
• $Applies profiles atomically: model assignments update pi-subagents-j0k3r's subagents.json through a temp file and rename, preserving timeout_ms, keyboard shortcuts, and configured tools.
• $Ships three standard profiles — balanced-default (Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Haiku 4.5), deep-reasoning (OpenAI o3-mini at max/high effort on design and review phases), and speed-economy.
• $Discovers every model configured in pi automatically and filters them with real-time search; models can be assigned per agent, per category, or to all agents at once, each with a reasoning-effort level.
• $Stores profiles globally in ~/.pi/agent/profiles/ or per project in .pi/profiles/, and exposes sdd_profile_list, sdd_profile_switch, sdd_profile_rename, and sdd_profile_delete tools plus an sdd-profiles skill for orchestrators.
