pi-session-recall

Recall past pi sessions. Search through conversation history and query specific sessions with an LLM.

Install

pi install npm:@ogulcancelik/pi-session-recall

Or add manually to ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "packages": ["npm:@ogulcancelik/pi-session-recall"]
}

What it does

Two tools that let the agent recall past sessions:

session_search

Literal text search across all past sessions using ripgrep-style fixed-string matching. It is not semantic search. The agent should search for one distinctive token or exact phrase at a time, such as a filename, package name, error string, function name, issue id, or remembered wording.

Spaces mean exact spaces in an exact phrase. For unrelated concepts, the agent should call session_search multiple times instead of combining them into one query.

session_query

Deep-dives into a specific session file. Loads the conversation, sends it to an LLM, and answers your question about it. It includes user and assistant text plus tool calls, while omitting assistant thinking and tool results to keep queries efficient.

For large sessions that exceed the model's context window, it uses smart windowing: keeps the first/last messages plus keyword-relevant sections, marking gaps with [... N messages omitted ...].

/session-recall

Command to configure which model is used for session_query. Opens a picker with all your available models.

By default, queries use your current session model. If you want to save tokens, pick a cheaper model (e.g. Haiku, GPT-4o mini).

Configuration

Config is stored at ~/.pi/agent/session-recall.json:

{
  "queryModel": {
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "id": "claude-haiku-4-5"
  }
}

If no model is configured (or the configured model isn't available), it falls back to whatever model is active in your current session.

Requirements

• pi v0.40+
• ripgrep (rg) — recommended for fast search, falls back to grep or Node-native scan
