README
Sidequest Sidequest gives Pi a side channel: ask context-aware questions without pulling the main conversation off track. Think of it as a better /btw: grounded in the active Pi session, threaded, persistent, and tool-capable. Demo
Download the MP4 demo Install From npm: pi install npm:pi-sidequest From GitHub: pi install git:github.com/peterp/pi-sidequest For local development: pi -e /absolute/path/to/pi-sidequest Or link src/ as an auto-discovered extension directory: ln -s /absolute/path/to/pi-sidequest/src ~/.pi/agent/extensions/sidequest Use Open Sidequest inside Pi: /sidequest
Default quake console keys: § ~
Sidequest has two focus areas:
selection: choose root or a thread prompt: type and ask the next question
Press Tab to move between them. The inactive area shows [tab] in its border. Configure the Quake key Use an env var: PI_SIDEQUEST_QUAKE_KEY='`' or a config file: // ~/.pi/agent/sidequest.json { "quakeKey": "`" } Multiple keys are supported: PI_SIDEQUEST_QUAKE_KEYS='§,~,alt+s' { "quakeKeys": ["§", "~", "alt+s"] } Tools Sidequest runs its own isolated, tool-capable Pi worker. By default it enables: read, grep, find, ls, sidequest_web_search, sidequest_web_fetch
Override the allowlist: PI_SIDEQUEST_TOOLS='read,grep,find,ls,sidequest_web_search,sidequest_web_fetch' sidequest_web_search uses Brave Search when BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY is set. Otherwise it falls back to DuckDuckGo HTML search. sidequest_web_fetch fetches public HTTP(S) pages and extracts readable text. Publish From this directory: npm pack --dry-run npm publish
