-
Keep a long Pi coding task going across fresh windows
Run a long Pi task that rolls into fresh context windows using saved notes instead of summaries.
- Pi Posthorse
- Software and DevOps
- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the pi-posthorse repo (fitchmultz/pi-posthorse), set up Posthorse for the project at <project-path>, then give Pi a multi-step coding task and ask it to save task state in notes before rolling over. Expected output: a task note saved under .pi/notes/ in the project and a fresh context window started. Verify by running `pi list` and confirming pi-posthorse appears as an installed source.
-
Find an earlier decision in past Pi sessions
Search prior conversation and sub-agent runs in the project to recover a decision or error detail.

View prompt
Using the pi-posthorse repo (fitchmultz/pi-posthorse), use the history tool in the project at <project-path> to search earlier sessions for the decision about <topic>, including other sessions with all: true. Expected output: the matching history entries with their session context. Verify that each quoted detail appears in the returned history entries before you rely on it.
-
Test Posthorse in one Pi session before installing
Load Posthorse for a single session to check rollover behavior without a permanent install.

View prompt
Using the pi-posthorse repo (fitchmultz/pi-posthorse), start a single Pi session for the project at <project-path> with `pi -e npm:pi-posthorse`, run a long task, and report whether a new_context request or a Compacted card appears. Verify that pi list does not show a permanent install if the developer asked for a one-session test.
