pi-web

Web search and content extraction for pi-coding-agent — cascade fetching, multi-engine search, deep research.

Installation

pi install npm:@0xkobold/pi-web

Or as part of the meta-extension:

pi install npm:@0xkobold/pi-kobold

Features

Cascade Fetching — Fast HTML → Readability → Playwright for JS sites
Multi-Engine Search — DuckDuckGo (default) + SearXNG (fallback)
Deep Research — Search + fetch + synthesize from multiple sources
Playwright Pool — Browser reuse with concurrency limits and retries
Optional Dependency — Playwright is optional; fast fetch works without it

Development

cd packages/pi-web
bun install
bun run build

Optional: Playwright

For JavaScript-rendered content, install Playwright:

npm install playwright
npx playwright install chromium

Without Playwright, web_fetch still works using fast HTML fetch and readability extraction.
