pi-module

90 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Install a pi (pi.dev coding agent) package/extension/skill into this nix flake declaratively, instead of running `pi install npm:...`. Use when the user gives a `pi install npm:<pkg>` / `pi install git:<repo>` command, links a https://pi.dev/packages/... page, or asks to add a pi extension/skill/theme/prompt to the nix config. Also covers bumping the pi CLI itself (pi-coding-agent). Pi calls these "packages"; the user may call them "modules".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'pi-module' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'pi-module' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named pi-module already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fred-drake/nix' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '82ad6f15efdae8f653b477ca90483d4bf9befd83' -- '.claude/skills/pi-module' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/pi-module' ~/.agents/skills/'pi-module' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'pi-module' ~/.claude/skills/'pi-module' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
