Advanced tools
Pi extension that lets power users choose provider and model at startup before the session begins.
Choose your provider and model at Pi startup, before the session begins.
Pi Startup Picker is a Pi extension for power users who switch models often and want that choice up front instead of launching Pi and then detouring to /model.
On normal startup, the extension shows a provider/model picker before the session begins, remembers your last three combinations, and falls back to your existing default provider/model when you cancel or selection fails.
The package intentionally targets normal startup only: it runs on session_start when the reason is startup, no-ops cleanly for other session reasons such as resume, fork, reload, and new, and skips when UI is unavailable. See ROADMAP.md for current non-goals and follow-up ideas.
session_start for normal startup only.Install the published npm package with Pi:
pi install npm:pi-startup-picker
Pin a specific version when you want reproducible installs:
pi install npm:pi-startup-picker@0.2.1
Install into the current project instead of your user Pi settings:
pi install npm:pi-startup-picker -l
Or install from GitHub:
pi install git:github.com/eiei114/pi-startup-picker
