pi-packages-manager — a Claude-style overlay panel for managing pi packages from inside pi

[RexYoung000]

Hey folks 👋

I've been using pi for a while and noticed that managing packages is a bit
repetitive — install, /reload, list, search, repeat. So I built a small
extension that brings everything together in one Claude-style overlay panel.

Repo: https://github.com/RexYoung000/pi-packages-manager
npm: pi install npm:pi-packages-manager
git: pi install git:github.com/RexYoung000/pi-packages-manager

What it does

• 📦 Overlay panel with Tab to switch Installed / Browse / Updates / Settings
• 🔍 Catalog with disk cache (24h TTL), keyword priority, fuzzy ranking, and
  filters like type:skill, source:npm, scope:project, installed,
  updates
• ⬇️ Install / remove / update flows with scope picker (Global vs Project),
  safety confirmation showing the actual pi install command, and reload
  prompts after success
• ⬆️ "Update all" with skip detection for pinned, git, and local sources
• 🛡️ Detail page surfacing extensions / skills / prompts / themes plus
  source type and trust warnings
• 🌐 Multi-language UI (English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어) with an
  in-panel language switcher that takes effect immediately, no reload

Quick start
