Enhanced /y yank (copy) command for pi coding agent.

Why /y

/copy is a built-in interactive command in pi, and command-name overlap with extensions is currently awkward. See the current state and discussion in earendil-works/pi#3601.

This package uses a vim-style /y to avoid that collision while still adding copy-oriented features: indexed message copy, optional markdown rendering (--plain), code-block picker for multi-block responses, and per-session picker reset.

Features

• /y — same as /y 1 (raw markdown by default)
• /y 2 — copy 2nd-to-last assistant message as raw markdown
• /y --plain — copy last assistant message as rendered plain text
• /y 2 --plain — indexed rendered plain-text copy
• /y --reset — reset the session option that always copies full response

For default/indexed forms, raw markdown is copied unless --plain is passed. If the selected response contains multiple fenced code blocks, /y and /y N show an interactive picker so you can copy either the full response or one code block.

--plain uses pi TUI Markdown renderer (@earendil-works/pi-tui) and strips ANSI, so copied text keeps structure (tables, lists, code blocks) in plain text. The interactive picker is skipped in --plain mode.

Install

pi install npm:@felixoid/py-yank

Or test without installing:

pi -e npm:@felixoid/py-yank

Usage

Inside pi:

/y
/y 2
/y --plain
/y 2 --plain

Notes

• This extension registers its own /y command.
• Clipboard backend uses pi's built-in copyToClipboard utility.
