contextplanner-pi

A pi extension that adds structured planning, web research, and subagent delegation.

Features

• Plan mode (/plan) — structured workflow: understand → design → write plan → approve → execute
• Web research — Exa AI semantic search (/exa-login, plan_research tool)
• Subagent delegation — spawn child pi processes for independent tasks
• Session goals (/goal, plan_set_goal) — persistent session intention tracking

Install

pi install git:github.com/pdennis/contextplanner-pi
