01At a glance

Gnista with Pi, at a glance.

Where it runs: Pi (pi) and Oh My Pi (omp) in any terminal.
Setup: One extension file each, in ~/.pi/agent/extensions/ and ~/.omp/agent/extensions/; nothing else changes.
Needs you: Oh My Pi’s tool approvals and plan reviews; in Pi, another extension’s dialog.
Answer from the notch: Oh My Pi’s plans: Approve runs the plan, Keep planning sends it back with what to change. Tool approvals and Pi’s dialogs are answered in the agent.
Reply from the notch: Yes, wherever it runs: Gnista’s extension adds your words as the next prompt, and they show as yours.
In the row: The session’s title, your prompt, the reply, the tool in use, the model and context, read from the session file.
Subagents: Oh My Pi’s: how many are at work, on the session’s row.
Cost and limits: What each reply cost, as the agent records it, added up for the session; no plan limits.

One extension, two agents.

Pi and Oh My Pi take TypeScript extensions, not command hooks, so Gnista adds a small one that the agent runs itself. It sends each turn’s start, each tool, each wait and each turn’s end, and never blocks a tool.

Oh My Pi’s plans, answered in place.

When Oh My Pi has a plan ready, read it in the notch. Approve, and it runs. Keep planning, with what to change, and it plans again. Whichever answers first counts, the notch or its own window.

One more thing? Reply.

When a turn is done, write in the notch. Gnista’s extension adds it as the session’s next prompt, the same as typing it, in whichever terminal the agent runs.

Priced as it was billed.

The row reads the session file the agent writes: its title, your prompt, the reply, the model, the context, and what each reply cost. For a model Gnista doesn’t know, describe it in a model file.

What it can’t do with Pi, and why.

Oh My Pi’s tool approvals show in the notch, but only its own window can approve them, so you answer there.
Pi asks about nothing itself. When another extension opens a dialog, the row shows it needs you, and you answer in Pi.
Keep planning needs words: Oh My Pi plans again only with what to change, so without them the plan stays for its own window.
Print mode and subagents’ own sessions don’t report: the row is about the session you started.

02Setup

Connected in a minute.

Open Gnista and tick Pi, Oh My Pi, or both.
Gnista writes one new file for each, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/gnista.ts or ~/.omp/agent/extensions/gnista.ts, and leaves your settings alone. If another extension already has that name, Gnista stops and says so.
To answer Oh My Pi’s plans from the notch, turn on Settings ▸ General ▸ Answer prompts in Gnista.
Start a new session. One already open picks up the extension when you restart it.

03FAQ

Pi, asked and answered.

Does it work with Oh My Pi?

Yes. Oh My Pi is Pi’s fork, with its extensions in a folder of its own. Gnista connects each one separately, and Oh My Pi gets plan reviews from the notch too.

Can I approve tools from the notch?

No. Pi asks about nothing itself, and only Oh My Pi’s own window can approve its tools. Oh My Pi’s plans you can answer from the notch, with Answer prompts in Gnista on.
