pi-reload-runtime

name	pi-reload-runtime
description	Reload Pi's extension/runtime from inside an agent turn using delayed wtype input. Use when the human asks for agent-driven development of Pi itself, Pi extension changes, or other Pi configuration work that needs /reload before the agent can test or continue in the updated runtime.

Pi Reload Runtime

Use a delayed wtype sequence when agent-driven Pi development requires reloading the active Pi TUI after the current turn finishes. Do not type /reload immediately during a running turn; it can land in the editor or fail to execute.

Workflow

1. Queue a delayed background command with sleep before typing into Pi.
2. Let the current assistant turn finish.
3. The delayed command types /reload and presses Enter while Pi is idle.
4. After a short delay, type a continuation prompt and press Enter.
5. Do no meaningful follow-up work after scheduling the delayed command in the same turn.

Command

Prefer this pattern:

(sleep 5; wtype '/reload'; wtype -k Return; sleep 3; wtype 'continue'; wtype -k Return) &

Customize the continuation text when needed:

(sleep 5; wtype '/reload'; wtype -k Return; sleep 3; wtype 'Continue the previous task after reload.'; wtype -k Return) &

Notes

• This is focus-dependent: Pi must be focused when wtype runs.
• Keep the initial sleep long enough for the current turn to finish; use a larger value for long final messages.
• Use this when the human asks for agent-driven Pi development work that needs reloading before validation can continue.
• If the user says “try reload with wtype” or “reload and continue”, use this delayed pattern.
