# pi-ide

Connects a Pi coding-agent session to a running editor over a local
WebSocket MCP server. Provides ambient editor context (current file,
cursor, selection), routes `write`/`edit` tool calls through the editor
as interactive diffs, and serves inline code completions (often called
"suggestions") to editors that request them. The wireformat is compatible
with Claude Code's editor integration.

## Install

```bash
pi install npm:@ldelossa/pi-ide
```

That writes to `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` and loads pi-ide on every pi
session. To scope it to one project instead of globally, add `-l`:

```bash
pi install -l npm:@ldelossa/pi-ide
```

Project installs land in `./.pi/settings.json` and can be checked in so
teammates pick the extension up automatically.

To try it without installing permanently:

```bash
pi -e npm:@ldelossa/pi-ide
```

To remove:

```bash
pi remove npm:@ldelossa/pi-ide
```

Git installs also work if you prefer pinning to a tag:

```bash
pi install git:github.com/ldelossa/pi-ide@v0.1.0
```

You also need an editor that speaks the protocol. The reference Neovim
implementation is at <https://github.com/ldelossa/pi-ide.nvim>.

Once both are running, use `/ide` inside pi to connect to the editor.

## Architecture

1. Editor starts a loopback MCP server on a free TCP port. Writes a lockfile to
   `$PI_IDE_LOCK_DIR` (default `~/.pi/ide/<port>.lock`). Removes it on exit.
2. On startup, if `pi-ide.autoconnect` is not `false` and exactly one valid
   lockfile matches `cwd`, the extension connects automatically. A sticky
   reconnect target is remembered across `/new` sessions, keeping the same
   IDE when multiple editors are open. Use `/ide` to manually connect,
   switch IDEs, or disconnect.
3. Extension opens `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>/` with header
   `x-pi-ide-authorization: <authToken>` and runs MCP `initialize`.
4. While connected:
   - Editor pushes `selection_changed` notifications. Extension caches
     `filePath`, cursor, selection. Renders a status widget.
   - Before each agent run, cached state is injected into the system prompt as
     an `<editor>` block.
   - On every `write` or `edit` tool call, extension calls `openDiff`. The call
     blocks until the editor returns `FILE_SAVED` (accept) or `DIFF_REJECTED`
     (reject). On reject, the tool call is blocked and the rejection is
     surfaced to the agent.
5. Session shutdown closes the socket.

## Autoconnect

Autoconnect saves a manual `/ide` step by connecting to the IDE automatically.
It is enabled by default.

Connections are made on two occasions:

**On start**
1. `pi-ide.autoconnect` is not `false`
2. Exactly one valid IDE lockfile exists for the current working directory

**On session replacement** (`/new`, `/resume`, `/reload`)
If the previous session was connected to an IDE, pi-ide tries to reconnect
to that same IDE. This sticky reconnect bypasses the single-candidate rule,
which means it can reconnect even when a second IDE has since started in the
same directory. If the sticky IDE is no longer valid (closed, stopped,
connection fails, or its project changed), autoconnect falls back to the
cold-start rule.

### Disabling

Add to any Pi settings file:

```json
{
  "pi-ide": {
    "autoconnect": false
  }
}
```

| Scope | File |
|-------|------|
| Global | `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` |
| Project | `.pi/settings.json` |

Project settings override global settings. A missing setting is treated as
enabled.

## Lockfile

Path: `$PI_IDE_LOCK_DIR/<port>.lock` (default `~/.pi/ide/<port>.lock`).

```
{
  "pid": <int>,
  "workspaceFolders": ["<abs path>", ...],
  "ideName": "<display name>",
  "transport": "ws",
  "authToken": "<uuid>"
}
```

## Transport

- WebSocket on `127.0.0.1:<port>`, path `/`.
- Required header: `x-pi-ide-authorization: <authToken>`. Mismatches
  must be rejected before upgrade.
- Framing: JSON-RPC 2.0 in text frames. One message per frame.
- Protocol: MCP `2024-11-05`. Subset only. `resources/*`, `prompts/*`,
  `logging/*`, and sampling are not used. Server-reported capabilities are
  ignored by the client. Four methods carry the protocol: `initialize`,
  `notifications/initialized`, `tools/list`, `tools/call`.

## Editor-side contract

The editor must:

1. Serve MCP on loopback. Write the lockfile on start, remove on shutdown.
2. Authenticate the upgrade header against the lockfile's `authToken`.
3. Implement `initialize`, `tools/list`, `tools/call`.
4. Implement the tools below.
5. Emit the notifications below.

### Tool: `openDiff`

Input:

| field               | type   | description                                |
| ------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| `old_file_path`     | string | absolute path of the existing file         |
| `new_file_path`     | string | destination path (typically same as old)   |
| `new_file_contents` | string | proposed contents                          |
| `tab_name`          | string | stable id for this diff invocation         |

Behavior: open a two-pane diff between on-disk content and proposed content.
Block (suspend the JSON-RPC response) until the user accepts or rejects.

Response on accept:

```
{ "content": [
  { "type": "text", "text": "FILE_SAVED" },
  { "type": "text", "text": "<final contents>" }
]}
```

Final contents may differ from `new_file_contents` if the user edited the diff
before saving.

Response on reject:

```
{ "content": [
  { "type": "text", "text": "DIFF_REJECTED" },
  { "type": "text", "text": "<tab_name>" }
]}
```

### Tool: `close_tab`

Input: `tab_name` (string). Close the named diff if open. No-op otherwise.

Response:

```
{ "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "TAB_CLOSED" } ] }
```

### Notification: `selection_changed`

JSON-RPC notification (no `id`). Sent on cursor move, mode change, buffer
enter, and text change. Debounce locally (~100ms recommended).

```
{
  "text": "<selected text, empty when no selection>",
  "filePath": "<abs path>",
  "fileUrl": "file://<abs path>",
  "selection": {
    "start": { "line": <0-based>, "character": <0-based> },
    "end":   { "line": <0-based>, "character": <0-based> },
    "isEmpty": <bool>
  }
}
```

Lines and characters are zero-based. The extension renders line numbers as
1-based.

## Editor-initiated requests

The editor may send JSON-RPC requests to the extension over the same
WebSocket. The extension processes them and returns responses.

### Request: `getSuggestions`

Returns inline code completions for the editor to render as ghost text or
equivalent. The extension calls the configured model (current session
model by default; see model precedence below), parses up to 3
`<SUGGESTION>...</SUGGESTION>` blocks from the response, and returns them.

Input:

| field             | type   | description                                  |
| ----------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| `filePath`        | string | optional. absolute path of the cursor file   |
| `language`        | string | optional. filetype or language id            |
| `outline`         | string | optional. structural sketch of the file      |
| `enclosingScope`  | string | optional. surrounding function or class      |
| `cursorBefore`    | string | text before cursor (typically ~20 lines)     |
| `cursorAfter`     | string | text after cursor (typically ~10 lines)      |
| `suggestionCount` | int    | optional. cap on returned alternatives. Max 3. |
| `cursorInComment` | bool   | optional. cursor is inside a comment           |
| `model`           | string | optional. preferred model "provider/id". CLI flag wins if set. |

`outline` is an optional compact declaration summary produced with the
editor's native source-analysis tool — treesitter declarations (Neovim),
document symbols from LSP (VS Code), PSI symbols (JetBrains), or omitted
entirely. Local `cursorBefore` and `cursorAfter` context remains the most
important input; a large raw syntax tree is usually slower and less useful.

Response:

```
{ "suggestions": ["<text>", ...] }
```

Empty `suggestions` is valid and means the model declined to complete. Each
returned string is inserted at the cursor exactly as provided after model
newlines are canonicalized to LF; leading spaces and newlines are meaningful
and must not be trimmed by the editor. A multi-line candidate is discarded
when non-whitespace text remains on the cursor line because the reference
editor cannot preview that suffix relocation exactly.

Cancellation: editor sends `request_cancelled` notification with
`{ "id": <request id> }`. The extension aborts the in-flight model call.

Model precedence: the CLI flag (`--pi-ide-suggestion-model <provider>/<id>`)
wins. Otherwise the editor-provided `model` field is used. If neither is
set, the current session's model is used.

To find valid `provider/id` strings, run `pi --list-models` and join the
`provider` and `model` columns with a `/` (e.g., `openai/gpt-4o`).

For suggestions, prefer low-latency models. Large reasoning models often
feel too slow for inline completion; smaller coding-capable models such as
`openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` or `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash` usually provide
a better interactive experience.

For prompt evaluation, `--pi-ide-suggestion-debug-log <path>` appends the
request context, rendered prompt, raw model output, parsed/returned candidates,
latency, stop reason, and usage for each successful request. The log contains
source code and should be stored and shared accordingly.

### Request: `listSuggestionModels`

Returns models available to the current pi session for runtime suggestion
model selection in editors. The extension is the source of truth for model
discovery; editors should not read pi config files directly.

Input: none.

Response:

```
{
  "cliOverride": "<provider/id>",       // optional. --pi-ide-suggestion-model is active
  "currentModel": "<provider/id>",      // optional. current pi session model
  "models": [
    { "provider": "openai", "id": "gpt-4o", "name": "GPT-4o", "model": "openai/gpt-4o" }
  ]
}
```

If `cliOverride` is present, editor-provided model selections are still
accepted by the editor but will not affect suggestions because the CLI flag
has higher precedence.

## Reference editor implementation

Neovim: `pi-ide.nvim`. Implements both the editor-side contract (diffs,
diagnostics, selection notifications) and the `getSuggestions` client.
Suggestions work without treesitter; when available, the Neovim reference
client uses standardized treesitter `locals` query captures plus a compact
generic top-level fallback. Language-specific declaration knowledge remains in
the installed treesitter queries rather than the editor client.

## Development

```bash
npm test
npm run check
```

The suggestion tests cover the exact insertion contract, whitespace,
comment continuations, response parsing, candidate deduplication, and prompt
shape.
