pi-thinking-preset

Remember pi thinking levels per model.

What it does

pi-thinking-preset stores the selected thinking level for each model and restores it when you switch back to that model.

The extension only acts in TUI mode. It preserves pi's initial thinking level, including a level restored from a session or supplied with --thinking. Presets are applied only after a manual model switch through /model or Ctrl+P.

Presets are saved to thinking-presets.json in your pi agent directory. When a model without a preset is reached by a model switch, it starts from medium, clamped to the levels supported by that model. The effective level is saved as the model's preset.

Install

pi install npm:pi-thinking-preset

Or try it without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-thinking-preset

Usage

1. Start pi.
2. Select a model.
3. Change the thinking level.
4. Switch models and come back; the previous thinking level is restored automatically.
