Piqo — Pi Extension

A chat-less way to collaborate with your favorite LLM models (remote or local), directly from your files and from any editor. The output is stored automatically into your files.

It is a simple file-watcher extension for pi triggered on-save, which monitors directories for @piqo markers and uses the LLM to generate content inline.

Might be useful for keeping notes, writing tasks, researching topics, etc.

Random Example:<br>If you write the following (highlighted line) and save the file:

You will get something like (using gpt-5.4-mini):

How It Works

You start pi with the piqo extension and specify directories to watch

Piqo recursively watches those directories for file changes

When a file contains one or more @piqo markers, it reads the file, gathers context around all markers, and sends them to pi's LLM in one request

The LLM fulfills each prompt and removes the human prompt line/tag from the file

Usage

# Load it directly from github<br>pi -e https://github.com/piqoni/piqo-extension --dir=/path/to/your/project

# Or if you want to reference it locally, git clone the repo and reference it directly<br>pi -e ./piqo-extension --dir /path/to/your/project

# Watch multiple directories<br>pi -e ./piqo-extension --dir /path/to/dir1,/path/to/dir2

# Headless mode (no TUI)<br>pi -e ./piqo-extension --dir /path/to/project -p "Start piqo watcher"

Marker Format

In any text file within the watched directories, add:

">@piqo

The LLM will process it and replace/remove the prompt so the file becomes:

... generated content ...

Examples

In a Python file:

# @piqo add a function to parse CSV files and return a list of dicts

# Becomes generated code with the @piqo prompt removed

In a Markdown file:

@piqo write a summary of REST API best practices

Becomes generated content with the @piqo prompt removed

In a config file:

# @piqo add sensible default nginx config for a Node.js app

# Becomes generated config with the @piqo prompt removed

Behavior Details

Debounce : File changes are debounced at 500ms per file to avoid duplicate processing

Initial scan : On startup, piqo scans all watched directories for existing markers

Ignored paths : Hidden files/dirs, node_modules, .git are automatically skipped

Text files only : Only processes common text file extensions (.ts, .js, .py, .md, .txt, etc.)

Installation

Place this extension in ~/.pi/agent/extensions/piqo/ for global access, or reference it directly:

pi -e /path/to/piqo-extension
