Authoring Pi TypeScript extensions — ExtensionAPI, custom tools, commands, UI hooks, resources_discover, `registerProvider()`, and how extendResources merges skill paths after base reload. Use when the user builds or debugs pi extensions, registers tools, adds /commands, hooks events, integrates TUI components, or ships extension examples. Use for "how do I extend pi", "extension API", "registerTool", "registerProvider", even if pi-mono is not mentioned.

@mariozechner/pi-mom — Slack bot Master Of Mischief (Mom), self-managing agent, Docker sandbox, and events system.

Use for "mom slack bot", "docker sandbox", "mom events", "artifacts server", "cloudflare tunnel", "custom tools", "MomCustomTool", "multi-platform", "v86 sandbox", even if pi-coding-agent is not mentioned.

Pi headless RPC JSONL over stdin/stdout, strict LF framing, --mode json event streaming, and Node SDK alternatives (AgentSession). Use when integrating pi --mode rpc, pi --mode json, writing a client that speaks the protocol, reading JSON event streams, or choosing RPC vs in-process SDK. Use for "pi rpc client", "JSONL framing", "readline rpc", "--mode json", "json events", "embed pi without subprocess", "createAgentSession", "AgentSessionRuntime", "ModelRegistry", "embed pi", "SDK factory", even if the user only pasted JSON lines.

@mariozechner/pi-agent-core Agent runtime — message flow, tool execution modes, event sequence for prompt() and continue(), embedding in apps. Use when building on Agent class, wiring subscribers, or debugging tool loops beside pi-ai. Use for "pi agent events", "beforeToolCall", "agent.subscribe", even if coding-agent CLI is not involved.

@mariozechner/pi-ai — unified LLM streaming API, tools, providers, thinking events, and cross-provider handoffs as implemented in pi-mono. Use when integrating or debugging pi-ai, adding providers, using stream/complete, TypeBox tools, or token usage. Use for "pi-ai stream", "getModel", "new provider in pi", even if the user only says OpenRouter or Anthropic APIs.

Pi packages — npm/git distribution of extensions, skills, prompts, themes via keywords pi-package and package.json pi manifest; pi install paths and security expectations. Use when shipping or consuming pi-package, adding pi.skills entries, or explaining install vs project-local -l. Use for "publish pi skills on npm", "pi install", "pi-package.json", even without naming this skill.

@mariozechner/pi — Deploy and manage vLLM LLM GPU pods, DataCrunch/RunPod setup, and CLI agent interface. Use when spinning up GPU instances, configuring vLLM, managing tensor parallelism, or interacting with models via pi agent. Use for "pi pods setup", "vLLM memory", "Qwen GLM models pi", even without naming the pods package.

@mariozechner/pi-tui — Minimal terminal UI framework with differential rendering, CSI 2026 synchronized output, and Component interfaces. Use when building or debugging terminal interfaces, TUI components, Editor, Markdown, SelectList, or handling input and ANSI widths. Use for "differential rendering", "matchesKey", "Focusable IME", even if pi-coding-agent is not mentioned.
