pi-department

Create isolated Pi profile agents ("departments") from your main agent configuration.

What it does

The /department command creates a new Pi profile agent with its own:

• models.json — copied from your main agent
• skills/ — copied from your main agent
• Auth — symlinked by default (or isolated with --isolated-auth)
• Everything else — starts fresh (separate sessions, memory, extensions, agents, git packages)
• Launcher — a ~/.local/bin/pi-<name> script so you can run it by just typing the name

Installation

pi install git:github.com/ch0udry/pi-department

Then reload pi with /reload.

Usage

# Create a dev department
/department dev

# Create a research department
/department research

# Create a department with isolated auth (no symlink to main auth)
/department sandbox --isolated-auth

After creation, just type the department name in your terminal:

pi-dev      # Launches the dev department
pi-research # Launches the research department

How it works

Each department lives at ~/.pi/profiles/pi-<name>/ and starts clean:

~/.pi/profiles/pi-<name>/
└── .pi/
    └── agent/
        ├── models.json      # Copied from main agent
        ├── auth.json        # Symlinked to main (or isolated)
        ├── skills/          # Copied from main agent
        ├── extensions/      # Fresh
        ├── agents/          # Fresh
        ├── sessions/        # Fresh — separate session history
        ├── memory/          # Fresh — separate memory
        └── git/             # Fresh — separate git-based packages

The launcher script at ~/.local/bin/pi-<name> sets PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR and runs pi.
