Notes on things I build, discover, and think about.
Spent the evening rebuilding the git, redact, and cdp extensions in pi-setup around ports and adapters: tool logic now lives in a pure domain layer with the Pi-specific glue behind small interfaces and fakes. Tests moved next to the source while I was at it, so each extension carries its own specs.
pi-setup gained a git_prune_merged_branches tool, so agents can clean up merged branches without hand-running the git incantation. While in there, the design-tokens skill's attribution wording got a small correctness fix.
pi-smart-router now classifies each provider on its own merits when you call setup-tiers, instead of collapsing them into a single global winner — so when one catalogue says a model is the cheapest and another says it's the strongest, both can win on their own merits. The same day quieted the dependency noise around it: Dependabot auto-merge for patches, a TypeScript major, and a pass on the high and critical advisories. The toolkit now pins Node 22 and has CI read it, so runtime expectations stop drifting silently across major bumps.
Dependency housekeeping on pi-smart-router: the toolkit now runs against the latest pi-coding-agent, and the Node type definitions jumped several majors to catch up with the runtime.
Dependabot auto-merge for patch and minor bumps is now live on pi-agent-skills and pi-setup. The same workflow covers the dev-tooling group on pi-setup, and the README now steers you to a review skill based on the kind of change you're shipping. Pinning the noisy minors saves a review round without losing the majors to drift.
Kicked off a new experiment over on css-sibling-count — a small live demo exploring what you can do once sibling-count() is available, from highlighting the middle item in a list to scaling things based on how many siblings are present. First commit landed along with the demo itself.
Added a design-tokens skill to pi-setup — it teaches agents the Asana-style naming convention for colour tokens, where a token reads like positive-surface-raised instead of green-300. Usage describes the role rather than the CSS property, so each token stays single-purpose and themeable. One skill, one convention, no more ad-hoc colour names.
Small but satisfying fix on css-grid-lanes: the demo's callout notice no longer lingers on screen when the hidden attribute is set. Turns out the base styles were overriding the UA default, so the component stayed visible — a one-liner to hide it properly, and the demo behaves as expected again.
Launched css-if, a live demo for the CSS if() inline conditional function that landed in Chrome and Edge 137. It walks through six examples — supports(), media(), style(), combined and negated conditions, multiple branches, and a nested if() — all driven by pure CSS radios and :has(), no JavaScript. The page feature-detects support and shows a fallback in browsers that don't have it yet, and deploys to GitHub Pages on merge. Styling builds on css-starter, reusing its picker and callout components.
