Switch a monorepo extension/skill package between its published npm source and its local working-tree source, guaranteeing exactly one source per package. Use when "my edits don't take effect", "load local extension", "test the published npm build", or reconciling dev vs distribution package sources.
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
Toggle a monorepo extension between **npm (published)** and **local (working tree)** source.
## Why this exists
> **GUI equivalent:** Settings → Packages exposes a per-row **Reset to published version** action
> (change: reset-override-to-npm) that resets a local/git-installed row back to its canonical
> `npm:<name>` — install-first / remove-second, confirm-gated. It is the one-click UI analog of
> `switch <pkg> npm` here; keep the two semantically aligned (both drop the local `packages[]`
> registration only, never the working-tree files).
On a dev machine you want extensions to load your **live working tree** so edits take effect.
Distribution users consume the **published npm** package. Both can be wired at once across two
config layers, and whichever pi resolves last wins — non-deterministic ("I edited it but nothing
changed"). This skill enforces exactly **one source per package**.
```
GLOBAL ~/.pi/agent/settings.json "packages": [...]
npm -> "npm:<npmName>"
local -> "<repoRoot>/packages/<dir>" (dir path; pi resolves package.json "pi")
PROJECT <repo>/.pi/settings.json "packages":[{ source, extensions:["+packages/<dir>/<entry>"] }]

How to install
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/switch-extension-source@sha256:79310d03ae316873The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
