pi-cd

Change pi’s working directory mid-session with /cd.

Pi binds tools, skills, project config, and sessions to a cwd. This extension switches that cwd properly (new session file + runtime rebind), not a fake process.chdir alone.

Install

pi install npm:pi-cd

Or from a local checkout / git:

pi install ./pi-cd
pi install git:github.com/richardanaya/pi-cd

Reload pi (/reload) or restart.

Usage

Command	What it does
/cd	Interactive directory browser
/cd <path>	Go to path (keeps conversation via session fork)
/cd -n <path>	New empty session in path
/cd --new <path>	Same as -n
/cd -	Previous directory
/cd ~	Home
/cd ..	Parent
/cd --recents	Pick from recent destinations
/cd --clear-recents	Clear recent list

While typing /cd …, argument completion lists directories (and specials -, ~, .., --new, --recents).

Browser keys

• ↑↓ navigate
• type filter
• enter open folder, or confirm “Use this directory”
• ← or select .. go up
• esc cancel

Modes

• Default — SessionManager.forkFrom copies the current session history into a new session under the target cwd, then switches. Context travels with you.
• --new / -n — fresh session in the target cwd (no history).

Recent destinations and the previous cwd are stored in ~/.pi/agent/pi-cd-state.json.

Why not just bash cd?

Bash tools run with the session cwd. Changing the shell’s directory inside one bash call does not rebind pi’s project root, tools, skills, or session storage. /cd does.
