Pi Primitive Check

Use this before implementing speculative Pi customisation ideas. The goal is to avoid building a parallel abstraction when Pi already has a primitive.

Workflow

Restate the underlying user need, separate from the proposed solution.
Search local Pi docs for overlapping primitives, especially commands, session features, SDK APIs, extension events, tools, skills, and TUI APIs.
Search this repo for existing built-ins and packages/pi-* that already address the need.
Classify the proposal:
- use existing Pi primitive
- document or wrap existing primitive
- compose existing primitives
- implement new feature
If overlap exists, pause and ask the user to confirm before coding.

Required local sources

Read relevant files from the installed Pi docs before deciding:

README: /home/scott/repos/my-pi/node_modules/.pnpm/@earendil-works+pi-coding-agent@0.75.4_ws@8.20.1_zod@4.4.3/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/README.md
Docs directory: /home/scott/repos/my-pi/node_modules/.pnpm/@earendil-works+pi-coding-agent@0.75.4_ws@8.20.1_zod@4.4.3/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/docs
Examples directory: /home/scott/repos/my-pi/node_modules/.pnpm/@earendil-works+pi-coding-agent@0.75.4_ws@8.20.1_zod@4.4.3/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/examples

Prefer targeted rg over broad reading, then read the relevant docs fully enough to verify behavior.

Output format

Primitive check:

- User need:
- Existing Pi primitives:
- Existing Pi customisation pieces:
- Overlap/risk:
- Recommendation:
- Confirm before build:

Keep the recommendation direct. If the answer is “do not build this”, say so.
