Setup

tehre are md files in plans/, i'm editing them in vs code. i want you to get notified if i change them, with the latest content if a file change is detected on this. can you write an extension that does that? should be something configurable, possibly giving you a tool to start/stop observing.

Let me read the extension docs first.

Readextensions.md

Readfile-trigger.ts

Now I have a clear picture. Let me build the extension.

Done. Created .pi/extensions/watch-plans.ts. Here's what it does:

Two tools:

watch_plans_start - starts watching a directory (defaults to plans/). Takes an optional directory parameter.
watch_plans_stop - stops watching.

Behavior:

Watches recursively for .md file changes
Debounces (300ms) to avoid spam from rapid saves
On change, injects the full updated file content into the conversation via sendMessage
Shows a status indicator in the footer while active
Cleans up on session shutdown

Use /reload to pick it up, then ask me to start watching and I'll call watch_plans_start.

oki start watching

Used Watch Plans Start

Watching plans/ now. Go ahead and edit your markdown files in VS Code, I'll see the changes as they come in.
