Breaking changes:
- Settings: 'hooks' and 'customTools' arrays replaced with 'extensions'
- CLI: '--hook' and '--tool' flags replaced with '--extension' / '-e'
- API: HookMessage renamed to CustomMessage, role 'hookMessage' to 'custom'
- API: FileSlashCommand renamed to PromptTemplate
- API: discoverSlashCommands() renamed to discoverPromptTemplates()
- Directories: commands/ renamed to prompts/ for prompt templates
Migration:
- Session version bumped to 3 (auto-migrates v2 sessions)
- Old 'hookMessage' role entries converted to 'custom'
Structural changes:
- src/core/hooks/ and src/core/custom-tools/ merged into src/core/extensions/
- src/core/slash-commands.ts renamed to src/core/prompt-templates.ts
- examples/hooks/ and examples/custom-tools/ merged into examples/extensions/
- docs/hooks.md and docs/custom-tools.md merged into docs/extensions.md
New test coverage:
- test/extensions-runner.test.ts (10 tests)
- test/extensions-discovery.test.ts (26 tests)
- test/prompt-templates.test.ts
Discovery rules:
1. extensions/*.ts or *.js - direct files
2. extensions/*/index.ts or index.js - subdirectory with index
3. extensions/*/package.json with pi field - load declared paths
No recursion beyond one level. Complex packages use package.json manifest.
Added PiManifest type for future theme/skill bundling support.
17 tests covering all discovery scenarios.

New src/core/extensions/ directory with:
- types.ts: merged types from hooks and custom-tools
- loader.ts: single loader for extensions
- runner.ts: ExtensionRunner for event emission
- wrapper.ts: tool wrapping utilities
- index.ts: exports
Key changes from old system:
- Single ExtensionAPI with registerTool() for LLM-callable tools
- Tools use ExtensionContext (has UI access)
- No onSession callback on tools (use pi.on events instead)
