🔌 Hello Extension

A minimal oh-my-pi extension that demonstrates the two most common authoring patterns: subscribing to session_start to notify on load, and registering a /hello slash command that sends a greeting into the conversation. It is intentionally small — use it as a copy-paste starting point for your own extension.

Install

Option A — drop into user extensions directory:

cp -r . ~/.omp/agent/extensions/hello-extension

Restart omp. You will see the startup notification immediately.

Option B — point the settings extensions array at it:

# ~/.omp/agent/config.yml
extensions:
  - /path/to/hello-extension

Option C — load once via CLI flag:

omp --extension ./hello-extension

Usage

After loading, type /hello or /hello Ada in the omp prompt. The command sends a visible greeting custom message into the conversation and shows a “Message sent!” notification.

What it demonstrates

• Default export factory receiving ExtensionAPI
• pi.on("session_start", ...) — session lifecycle hook
• pi.registerCommand(...) — slash command registration
• ctx.ui.notify(...) — user-facing notification
• package.json with omp.extensions manifest field
