pi-workstation

Custom extensions and themes for pi coding agent.

Extensions

Navi

Animated companion entity that lives below the editor. Has moods (idle, thinking, happy, excited, sleeping), a particle field driven by music VJ data, and feeds from Wikipedia, Hacker News, and RSS. Levels up based on token usage.

Music

Full music player inside the terminal. Supports YouTube, Mixcloud, Bandcamp, and NTS Radio. Search, queue, favorites, history, watchlists. Exposes real-time audio analysis (energy, beat, transients, spectral flux) as VJ data for other extensions. Uses mpv and yt-dlp.

Knowledge Graph

Feed URLs to a graph that extracts entities and relationships, indexes them, and makes them searchable. The agent can query it during sessions as a second brain.

LLM Council

Multiple models work on the same problem in parallel, then a chairman synthesizes the results. Supports custom templates for security audits, architecture reviews, and exploratory research.

Git

Full interactive git TUI. Diff viewer, status with per-file staging, scrollable commit graph, stash operations, branch management, merge, and rebase — all without leaving the agent session.

Files

IDE-style file browser. /files for tree navigation with git status, /find for fuzzy file search (Ctrl+P style), /grep for full-text search, plus inline editing, syntax-highlighted preview, and a diff viewer.

Project Manager

Kanban board stored in the repo at .pi/project-board.json. The agent can read and update issues, so it knows what's in progress without re-explaining context.

Background Tasks

Run long commands (builds, deploys, test suites) in the background with automatic log capture and exit code tracking.

Output Guard

Catches the agent before it does something destructive.

Tmux Tabs

Manages multiple terminal sessions from within the agent.

Notify

Desktop notifications for session events.

TPS

Tokens-per-second display.

Themes

Theme	Inspiration
terayama	Shuji Terayama's avant-garde theater. Deep blacks, parchment text, traditional Japanese accent colors (kurenai, fuji, kin, koke, hotaru).
kill-the-past	Serial Experiments Lain. Static red on pure black with scanline grays and CRT whites.
the-silver-case	Suda51's detective noir. Blood red, copper, gold, film-grain textures.
y2k-cyber	Late-90s internet cafe. Electric blue, hot pink, acid green on void-black.
kanagawa	Inspired by the kanagawa.nvim colorscheme.
kanagawa-contrast	Higher contrast variant of kanagawa.
plasma	Vibrant plasma palette.
dusty	Muted, warm tones.
zen-clear	Clean, minimal, focused.

Installation

pi install npm:pi-workstation

All extensions and themes will be automatically available after installation.

To activate a theme, set it in your ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "theme": "terayama"
}

Dependencies

Some extensions require external tools:

• Music: mpv and yt-dlp
• Files / Git: fd and rg (bundled with pi)

Known Issues

• Music flickering — Playing music can cause screen flickering. Running pi inside tmux resolves this.
• Files / Git preview truncation — When browsing files in /files or /git, the first N lines of file content may not be displayed.
