## README

# pix-models

Pi extension — enhanced `/models` picker with coding score/rank.

## What it does

Registers a `/models` slash command — a richer TUI picker replacing Pi's built-in `/model` selector.

- **Each row** — model id, context window, per-M-token cost, and a coding score/rank (star bar) when available.
- **Sorting** — by coding score (best first), then alphabetically for unscored models. Fuzzy search filters as you type.
- **Thinking level** — left/right cycles `off` → `minimal` → `low` → `medium` → `high` → `xhigh`, shown live in the header.
- **Select** — switches the active model for the session.
- **Per-project prefs** — every model / thinking change is saved with `defaultProvider`, `defaultModel`, `defaultThinkingLevel` in one file: `<project>/.pi/settings.json` for trusted projects (created on first change), otherwise `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`. Pi merges the project file over the user file, so other projects fall back to user defaults. Each save shows a short notice with the target file.

Model metadata comes from `~/.cache/pi/` via `pix-data`; the coding score/rank is computed locally from the modelgrep catalog (best = #1).

## Install

```bash
pi install npm:@xynogen/pix-models
```

> Bundled in [`@xynogen/pix-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xynogen/pix-core). Install it alone only if you do not use pix-core.
