Contributing

Thanks for helping improve pi-commandcode-provider.

This is an unofficial Command Code provider for pi. Keep changes small, tested, and easy to review.

Development setup

npm install
npm test

Useful commands:

npm run typecheck
npm run format:check
npm run test:unit
npm run test:models
npm run test:oauth
npm run test:abort
npm run test:stream
npm run test:pi-isolated
npm run test:pi-authenticated
npm run test:pi-local

Start an isolated pi instance with only the current checkout installed and no existing Command Code credentials:

npm run pi:isolated

Run /login inside pi. Temporary credentials, configuration, and sessions are deleted when pi exits.

Start the current checkout with your existing pi credentials and only Command Code models in the model picker:

npm run pi:authenticated

Both commands accept additional pi arguments after --, for example npm run pi:authenticated -- --model claude-sonnet-4-6.

Run the transport-specific live tests with separate credentials:

COMMANDCODE_E2E_GO_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/go-key npm run test:e2e:live:go
COMMANDCODE_E2E_PROVIDER_API_KEY_FILE=/path/to/provider-key npm run test:e2e:live:provider

Use npm run test:e2e:live:all with both file variables to run them sequentially. Store the keys in a secret manager and export each one to a new mode-0600 temporary file for the test; never add key files to the repository. The direct COMMANDCODE_E2E_GO_API_KEY and COMMANDCODE_E2E_PROVIDER_API_KEY variables are intended primarily for protected CI secrets.

Before opening a PR, run:

npm test
npm run format:check
git diff --check

For release and npm smoke-test steps, see RELEASE.md.

Pull request guidelines

• Keep PRs focused on one problem or feature.
• Add or update tests for behavior changes.
• Update README.md, CHANGELOG.md, or RELEASE.md when user-facing behavior changes.
• Avoid broad refactors unless the PR is specifically about refactoring.
• Do not include API keys, tokens, real auth files, .env files, or other secrets.
• Prefer documented/public Command Code API behavior. If compatibility with CLI behavior is needed, document why.
• Make sure npm package contents still make sense when package.json files changes.

Testing pi integration changes

For provider, auth, request-shape, or stream changes, test both local code and the package form when possible.

Local extension smoke:

pi --no-extensions -e ./index.ts --list-models commandcode

Npm package smoke and isolated /login testing are documented in RELEASE.md.

Commit message rules

Use Angular-style Conventional Commits.

Format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

Examples:

feat(auth): support Command Code CLI auth files
fix(core): cap max tokens by selected model
docs(release): document npm smoke testing
test(stream): cover reasoning start events
chore(release): publish 0.1.1

Types

Use one of these types:

• feat: a new user-facing feature
• fix: a bug fix
• docs: documentation-only changes
• style: formatting-only changes, no behavior change
• refactor: code restructuring without behavior change
• perf: performance improvement
• test: adding or changing tests
• build: package, dependency, or build-system changes
• ci: CI workflow changes
• chore: maintenance that does not fit another type
• revert: revert a previous commit

Scopes

Use a short lowercase scope. Prefer existing project areas:

• auth
• oauth
• core
• models
• stream
• tests
• docs
• release
• deps
• ci

A scope is strongly recommended. If no scope fits, choose the closest project area instead of omitting it.

Subject line

• Use imperative mood: fix(auth): read oauth credentials, not fixed or fixes.
• Keep it concise.
• Start lowercase after the colon.
• Do not end with a period.

Body and footers

Use a body when the reason is not obvious:

fix(core): cap max tokens by selected model

Command Code can return models with lower output limits than the provider-wide cap.
Clamp defaults to the selected model so requests do not exceed upstream limits.

Breaking changes must be marked with ! or a BREAKING CHANGE: footer:

feat(api)!: switch to provider api endpoints

BREAKING CHANGE: removes support for the legacy internal generate endpoint.
