❝ One line of reminder, effective every time. ❞

Append system prompt management extension: at every session start pi appends the contents of APPEND_SYSTEM.md into the system prompt (global ~/.pi/agent/APPEND_SYSTEM.md + per-project <cwd>/.pi/APPEND_SYSTEM.md). This extension gives these two files an online editing panel + an AI draft-and-write-directly help point — no more opening a terminal to hand-edit.

• 📝 Web panel: global / project tabs, edit online + save; shows file path, set status, mtime, word count and an unsaved marker
• Save semantics: Save = overwrite-write · Append save = append after the existing content · Clear = delete the file (back to the "not set" state); takes effect for new sessions after saving
• 🤖 ai-helper help point (write-append): click 🤖 in any dialog to invoke — the AI reads the current state first (avoiding duplication/conflicts), drafts following the "imperative, one sentence per rule, brief" principles, and can write directly to global or project level
• Safety: project-level read/write validates that cwd is the working directory of a session currently known to pi-web (prevents writing files at arbitrary paths)
• Entry: the panel lives permanently in the pages slot, entered via the Extension Manager's "Open"; the top toolbar "📝 Prompts" button is hidden by default (feature behavior.showToolbar; enable it in the extension manager when needed)

Usage

1. Extension Manager → Append System Prompts → Open (or enable the toolbar button, then click 📝 Prompts)
2. Pick the "🌐 Global" or "📁 Project" tab (the project tab needs an active session on the current page)
3. Edit the content → 💾 Save; 🤖 to have the AI draft it for you

Effect chain

pi's resource-loader reads both files at session start and appends them into the system prompt — saving takes effect for new sessions; in-flight sessions are unaffected.
