Guide for extending Pi — decide between skills, extensions, prompt templates, themes, context files, or custom models, then create and package them. Use when someone wants to extend Pi, add capabilities, create a skill, build an extension, or make a Pi package.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Extending Pi Help the user decide what to build and where to find guidance. ## What to build | Goal | Build a… | Where | |------|----------|-------| | Teach Pi a workflow or how to use a tool/API/CLI | **Skill** | Read `skill-creator/SKILL.md` for detailed guidance | | Give Pi a new tool, command, or runtime behavior | **Extension** | Read Pi docs: `docs/extensions.md` | | Reuse a prompt pattern with variables | **Prompt template** | Read Pi docs: `docs/prompt-templates.md` | | Set project-wide coding guidelines | **Context file** | `AGENTS.md` in project root or `.pi/agent/` — just markdown | | Change Pi's appearance | **Theme** | Read Pi docs: `docs/themes.md` | | Add a model or provider | **Custom model** | Read Pi docs: `docs/models.md` (JSON) or `docs/custom-provider.md` (extension) | | Share any of the above | **Package** | Read Pi docs: `docs/packages.md` | ## Skill vs Extension — the fuzzy boundary If `bash` + instructions can do it, prefer a **skill** (simpler, no code to maintain). If you need event hooks, typed tools, UI components, or policy enforcement, use an **extension**. Examples: - "Pi should know our deploy process" → **Skill** (workflow instructions) …

How to install
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/extending-pi@sha256:34fd57268eebc900The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260206.e662fb3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
