End-to-end Cursor IDE restart on the user's MacBook: snapshot metrics, kill ALL Cursor processes, relaunch Cursor, report before/after memory. Recovers from the known renderer memory leak that makes Cursor lag. Manual-only — run ONLY when the user explicitly invokes it (/nuke-cursor-app, "nuke cursor").…
Register a custom or variant model (e.g. an OpenRouter ":nitro" / ":floor" / ":exacto" slug) in the Pi Agent so it can be set as the global default. Use when Pi silently falls back to a different model (e.g. moonshotai/kimi-k2.6) after setting defaultModel, or when a model slug isn't in Pi's bundled list. Triggers on…
Mandatory verification discipline before shipping any large or risky change — new public API fields or filters, provider or data-source behavior changes, billing and pricing logic, changed defaults that shape what customers see. Trigger BEFORE implementing whenever a change rests on an unverified assumption about…
Walk the user through setting up anything step by step. Use when the user asks for help setting up, configuring, installing, or getting something working — "help me set up X", "walk me through this", "setup-help". Differentiator: gives one current step at a time, then always lists every remaining setup step after each…
Direct browser control via CDP. Use when the user wants to automate, scrape, test, or interact with web pages. Connects to the user's already-running Chrome.
Run a deep, source-backed research query via DeepAPI (go to deepapi.co to get an API key) POST /v1/research/deep. Builds a rigorous one-paragraph research prompt (per research-prompt rules), fires it, and saves a cited markdown report. Use when David asks for "deep research", "deepapi research", "perplexity deep…
Use DeepAPI for all regular web searches (POST /v1/search/web) and for any deep research you perform (POST /v1/research/deep), instead of built-in search or research tools. Use it for all scraping of the web (websites, LinkedIn, GitHub, X/Twitter, YouTube — POST /v1/scrape/) instead of built-in fetch or browser tools.…
Pull raw meeting transcripts from the user's Fireflies.ai notetaker via its GraphQL API, using the key saved globally on this machine. Use when the user wants a call transcript, meeting notes, "what was said on the call", onboarding-call transcripts, or Fireflies data. Differentiator: Fireflies meeting recordings only…
Research any online purchase with DeepAPI — fair-price checks, best deals, where to buy, shop trust. Load whenever the user is shopping or buying anything online: mentions buying a product, comparing prices, "is this a good price", "where can I get X", or attaches a product photo or listing screenshot. Research only …
ONLY for Pi Agents — all other agents have their own web tools. How Pi accesses the web via the pi-web-access package — search, fetch URLs/PDFs/YouTube/GitHub. Use whenever a Pi task needs current info, docs, news, prices, or content from a specific URL.
Write a single-paragraph Deep Research prompt to hand to a human researcher (or a deep-research AI). Use when the user wants a research brief, a "deep research prompt", a one-paragraph task for a researcher, or asks "what should our researcher look for". Produces ONE tight paragraph with full context, numbered…
Pull high-alpha ideas from a company or person's Twitter circle. Use when the user says twitter-alpha, alpha from twitter, scrape their tweets, what is this founder posting, or wants patterns from a company circle on X. Differentiator vs deep-research: tweet-level signal from a 7-person circle, not a company brief.
Deep-scrape a person across X, LinkedIn, GitHub, and the open web to judge if they are legit. Manual-only; invoke with /who-is-this. Use when the user says who-is-this, "who is this", "who is this guy", "research this person", "are they legit", "vet this founder", or drops a profile screenshot. Differentiator vs…

Triggers on "get the transcript", "transcript of this video", "pull the captions", "download subtitles", "what does this YouTube video say". Primary path…
Distribute a skill across the 4 agent skill folders (Codex, Claude Code, Pi, Hermes) so all agents see it. Use when the user says "distribute this skill", "sync skills across agents", or after creating/updating a skill that should be global. Covers the symlink layout and the /.pi/agent/skills trap.
How to write effective agent skills — what to do, what not to do, anatomy, progressive disclosure, design patterns, anti-patterns, testing, security. Read this whenever a skill (Claude Skill, Agent Skill, SKILL.md) is being created, edited, reviewed, or debugged. Use when the user says "create a skill", "new skill"…
Create a specialized CLAUDE.md (+ AGENTS.md symlink) inside a specific folder to give future agents folder-scoped context. Use when the user asks to create a CLAUDE.md for a folder, write folder instructions, or add agent context to a directory.
Commit and push agent-skill changes to the user's private skills GitHub repo (private-skills, rooted at /.agents). Use after creating or updating any skill, when the user says "push the skill", "push skills to github", "save the skill to my repo", or "update the skills repo". Handles staging, committing, and pushing…
Scope a feature, change, or refactor by asking the user 3-6 pointed questions ONE at a time (options A-D, state a preference, wait), record every answer, then deliver ONE concise paragraph prompt that another agent can implement from. Use when the user says "ask-then-build", "ask me questions then give me a prompt"…
Fire the moment the user proposes a build. Instantly surface the 1-3 consequential choices hidden in their idea. Can also be invoked with /before-building.
Use when the user wants to extract project vision, decisions, and preferences from their head into clear documentation (README + ADRs) through a back-and-forth Q&A loop. Triggers on "brain-to-docs", "build out the docs", "extract the vision", "let's document this project".
Turn any idea, brief, or rough instruction into 4 ready-to-paste prompts for AI image models (Midjourney, Nano Banana, GPT Images, Seedream, Flux, any other). Use when David asks for an image prompt, a thumbnail / banner / logo / illustration prompt, says "write a prompt for this image", or wants to turn a description…
Gauge the user's technical + product knowledge through 7 adaptive questions, log verbatim answers with honest ratings, and grow a learning plan from the gaps found. Use when the user says "level up", "level-up session", "quiz me", "gauge my knowledge", or wants a new assessment round. Differentiator: this finds and…
