@spences10/pi-omnisearch

Make agents verify current facts before answering. pi-omnisearch reminds the model to use the Omnisearch MCP tools for web search, extraction, and cited synthesis instead of relying on stale memory or snippets.

Installation

pi install npm:@spences10/pi-omnisearch

Local development from this monorepo:

pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run build
pi install ./packages/pi-omnisearch
# or for one run only
pi -e ./packages/pi-omnisearch

What it does

The extension injects a system reminder telling the model to use mcp-omnisearch when the user asks to:

• research current information
• verify facts or citations
• inspect documentation
• compare packages, APIs, or tools
• extract and summarize web content

It encourages the verified research workflow from the ecosystem guide skill:

• use web_search for discovery
• use web_extract to read actual source content before making claims
• use ai_search for synthesized answers with sources
• prefer official docs, repositories, release notes, and source files
• report partial failures, conflicts, and uncertainty

It adds no slash commands and no custom tools.

Example MCP config

mcp-omnisearch must be configured separately, for example in ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"mcp-omnisearch": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "mcp-omnisearch"]
		}
	}
}

Using from a custom harness

import omnisearch from '@spences10/pi-omnisearch';

// pass `omnisearch` as an ExtensionFactory to your Pi runtime

my-pi imports this package directly and enables it as the built-in Omnisearch reminder.

Development

Package scripts build transitive workspace dependencies first, then run local tools through Vite+ with vp exec.

pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run check
pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run test
pnpm --filter @spences10/pi-omnisearch run build
